I am seeing a huge increase in errors from my site's tags. The errors are 429, and in Webmaster tools it says: I believe these are related to the flood control setting in admin...so google's bot is being blocked from the search due to the flood control setting. My question is this--the links listed all actually work, I tested them. Since such a spike in errors could have a negative impact in google search, what is the best way to handle this? A "nofollow" on the tags? Any idea how to do that?

I have a Pages database which is set not to include categories, since I couldn't think what they would be: http://completeesperanto.uk/ I'm now going to introduce categories, since the previous problem has resolved itself. That means that my current articles will move from http://completeesperanto.uk/articles to http://completeesperanto.uk/articles/titbits. I've already shared links to the articles at their original address so before I introduce categories, I'd like to make it so that anybody visiting https://completeesperanto.uk/articles/heading-westwards/ actually goes to https://completeesperanto.uk/articles/titbits/heading-westwards/. Is there a way to accom…

If you have an element on a form that you mark as required, but then hide using a YesNo control, that element will still be required causing error messages such as the following: "An invalid form control with name='mms_selected_pfield' is not focusable." I'm looking into a temporary work around to fix this, however I would think it would make more sense to have IPS make un-mark elements as "Required" once they have been hidden on the form.

Hey Guys/Gals! I've set up a forum where the post come from a record creation. Ideally, I'd like to set it up so that a user can't post directly in this forum - but if they want to make a post in the forum they need to create a record that automatically creates the post. Is there a way to accomplish this with a conditional? I was thinking I could set up a conditional to change the "Post a New Thread" button url to the create a new record url. I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it, but it is kind of a work around. I'm not having any luck searching in these forums for the conditional that says {{if this forum}} some html {{else}} some html {{endif}} …

I had a site that was reasonably busy. If I limited use of that site back to only a few authors producing content, will the price drop back down to the lowest tier? If so, how long does that take to happen. Thanks JM

First of all I was away for some years, and have lost track of things going on with IPS. But yesterday I renewed my license, downloaded the latest version and just upgraded my community that was on 3.4.1 version. So, I face a little problem that I think is some minor bug, but I don't know where to look for to fix it myself as I'm a total newbie on this 4.x version of the software. Let me describe the steps I made: I upgraded the software using the proposed procedure and it completed fine. I then edited conf_global and added the s in the URL to set my forum in https mode as proposed here. Then visited the forum index and the padlock gets or…

Hi, I am thinking of changing several furls just like forums to foros or files to descargas. I was wondering if IPS has any kind to preserve the link with the original FURLs and use a 301 redirect to the new ones. My question is, if I change this FURLs, will I break my forum old links? Is here any workaround, any .htaccess to make this possible? Cheers, Ibai

Hi guys, I tried IPB support like the warning message said but they didn't help at all and said I had to contact the creator (even though the message says to contact support lol) The Support link in the plugin goes to another 3rd party website which is pretty annoying. I am running this: From the error below you can see it is failing massively to update in the background causing a HUGE delay in the queue. How can I fix this? I also can't access the latest updates because there is now a price on this addon, even though I have already gotten it previously. So how can I fix it now that I'm blocked from updates because the…

Hello ! ? Some of my board's members tell me that they can't validate an email change or that they can't validate their account creation because the link/button which is in the email doesn't work. When you hover the mouse cursor over the link, you notice there is no link at all but only text. Here is a screenshot of a validation email which was sent to me by a member : This happens several time a week, but the problem is that most members' account creations and email changes do work, which means that most members don't have any problem. This makes me suppose that the problem doesn't come from the translation... How can I fix this in your opinion …

I am trying to upgrade PHP, I've correctly provisioned all modules (I believe) in my WHM cPanel, and I've closely compared the php.ini files in both versions so that their settings are the same, but when I switch the site with my large forum to PHP 7.1 I get memory errors: [18-Aug-2018 23:15:41 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1867776 bytes) in /home/mysite/public_html/init.php(460) : eval()'d code on line 129 I copied over the same setting I had in 7.0 for: memory_limit = 1000M Any ideas?

Hi there, I have two questions about attachments. First of all, from Media in Pages. Is there any plugin or sth to make it easier the management of files? For example, there's only info about how to get the media from template logic (like {media=2}). How could I get the direct link to it? It's a bit tricky right-clicking over the image and getting the url to the image. In addition, I'd like to know if there's any chance to choose the compress quality of the image resources. I'm trying to upload an image with full quality and it's impossible, it's always compressing and loosing quality. I'd like to choose if I want to compress it or not. The thing is, I…
