Hey All, Looking for so help in troubleshooting why the Wordpress SSO plugin stopped working. I use this plugin to bridge a single sign-in between Wordpress and IPboard forum. I set this up in January, and everything was working great, then I believe on 3/31/20 it stopped syncing new users - new users can't seem to access the forum when they log into Wordpress. I figured it stopped working on 3/31/20 as that is when is last synced a user, and it hasn't synced users anymore since then, and I've had over 100 new accounts created since. I can't seem to find any troubleshooting steps on the plugin, and I've reached out to the developer here in the community, an…

Hello all, I currently have two websites fully licensed by IPS and on one website, I ran the "Something isn't working correctly" option and it showed there was a patch available, while on my other website, it does not show the patch being available. Since the patch addresses the current issues with Spotify embeds not working, I would like to be able to install it. Why would it show up as available on one website while not on another website? What should I look for?

The main editor of a news site I volunteer for has written to me with a request. She knows that she needs to set a future publish date with her Pages articles if she doesn't want them to show immediately. Sometimes she forgets, meaning that subscribers immediately get a notification. Quite often, she saves unfinished posts, making this situation even more unfortunate. I've explained to her that she should simply set her posts to hidden as soon as she starts working on them, which will prevent these problems. Unfortunately, she quite often forgets (she's around 70 and new to tech). I think one thing I could do is amend the database form so that there's a big warn…

I already have ALL my forum members in the Group named Members. Is it possible to now set Group Promotion Rules, and set the first group with content count less than 6. Next group set content count to more than 5, and so on. Will all current members be automatically moved to the new Groups that I create? Do they ALL have to stay in the group Member also? Will that be a secondary group? If they have to remain in Member also, which name will show on the front end under their name? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Member settings, I turned on 'Enabled Group Promotions'. I set the third group to have more than 360 …

Howdy, i have been researching for a few hours as to how to add a Game Server Status Bar/Widget on my Block Manager so i can implement it into my forum. I was expecting some sort of Widget or Block that i can just attach a link too and it would just show the server status as a UI Block. I have a link to the Widget i want to try and implement into my forum. If i could have some sort of assistance on this that would be great. Here is the link: https://fivem.xpl.wtf/server/server.php?ip

Hello, I'm creating a plugin for IPS with many hooks. I want all my plugin hooks can access to a PHP function but I don't know where to define this function, I would like to define a custom class in the plugin but how? For the moment, I have created a hook of \IPS\Settings with my PHP function: class hook13 extends _HOOK_CLASS_ { public function myFunction() { ... myFunction() is reachable by all plugin hooks via \IPS\Settings::i()->myFunction() but it's not clean, the PHP function is reachable by all others plugins and could create conflict. Do you know how can I have a PHP function reachable by all hooks in a plugin? Thanks!

I'm just getting up and running on the latest version, so I'm still working out some of the little bugs. I've noticed that whenever someone sends a PM, there's a double notification. One on the Notification Bell and one on the Message envelope. Is there a setting to stop it from giving the dual notifications? Just a notification on the envelope is enough.

We are trying to move our login system on our game server to use the oAuth API for logins. Does anyone know the best practice to use this? For example, we have a C# login server which checks tables for certain items, then we apply it to our player save file. Although, we use a custom C# .DLL to invoke a browser on the client side, then it receives a token and sends it to the login server.

Here's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to make an app in Google App Script, and then embed the app in an iframe on my IPB site. I want to have my site's Chatbox in the Google App. This means I have to embed it in an iframe. Doing that requires that seems to require I whitelist Google to be able to embed my site. Is that so? And if so how / where exactly do I do that? Is this even possible? (Rough to be asking at this point, I'm already dozens of hours into developing this app, and should've seen this coming. Learning lessons lol)

So I switched from Vbulletin 4.2.2 to IPB. I succesfully got the DB imported and so on. But all the BB codes are not working, I basically get all the BB codes on all topics without functioning. I guess BB code doesn't workin IPB. Is there a plugin/extension which will make all the BB codes work? Otherwise tens of thousands of my threads are unreadable because they are full of BB code inside the thread.
