After the new update, the transactions don't list any items. Perhaps someone know something about that? For transaction I had setup manual so that the items need approval. On the old board it works, on the new board the list is empty. So the entries are missing when a member buy something. Best Regards, Dan (Solved) I had to change the view of the list. Sorry.

Recently on my forum I caught few spammers, who were real people. They create accounts in advance, post real messages in many topics, talk with other people and with each other and post spam links to some e-shops. It looks very similar with real people... they are real people. So it's impossible to prevent this on registration procedure (captcha, questions). I see only one way to stop this: put every post with links on pre-moderation. How can I make it?

Hi, I'm still confused about how the Sitemap works. It seems to create one page with several child sitemaps which I grasp, and Google Search Console recognises them correctly as child sitemaps, but inside the child sitemaps for Pages there are no individual links to my website's news articles. However the Gallery by comparison has multiple sitemaps for gallery categories as well as the image themselves. I have lots of news articles and several page articles. How do I get it to include all of those articles and pages? Or doesn't it work that way? Many thanks!

It seems that my forum can't be fully secure as a lot of theme resources seem to be serving through http. I can't seem to figure out how to change it. E.g. Insecure URL: http://www.ibsurvival.com/uploads/set_resources_2/d0e70b4cbb9ab8afb1bc1065a3f8487a_subitem_stem@2x.png Found in: https://www.ibsurvival.com/uploads/css_built_2/341e4a57816af3ba440d891ca87450ff_framework.css.fe9d4389c608f86563803366ab71b00f.css?v=eccaa250aa Insecure URL: Found in: https://www.ibsurvival.com/uploads/css_built_2/341e4a57816af3ba440d891ca87450ff_framework.css.fe9d4389c608f86563803366ab71b00f.css?v=eccaa250aa Is there a way to force https for theme resources?

Hello! Is there anything (like an App or a plug-in) that will allow to change metadata of a discussion? Like, for example, something to set a specific image for the topic when it is shared on Facebook.

Hey. Im trying to insert a button in my toolbar that works as a button with a link. The following html is; and works well except that is wont be able to perform as a button, only display as one. The link that is inserted is from the trader feedback system and it would be cool if the button would allow a pop-up. Otherwise aa redirect to a new page is cool as well. <form> <input style="width: 300px; padding: 20px; cursor: pointer; box-shadow: 6px 6px 5px; #999; -webkit-box-shadow: 6px 6px 5px #999; -moz-box-shadow: 6px 6px 5px #999; font-weight: bold; background: #ffff00; color: #000; border-radius: 10px; border: 1px solid #999; font-size: 150%;" h…

just signed up for the IPS Cloud solution and was setting up my board. The sales documentation claims there is a resident chat function, and that you set it up in the "community" portion of the admin site. However, there is no "chat " dialogue in my community section. Do I need to download a plug in. I have cometchat on my prior site, do I need to transfer cometchat here. I have attached a copy of my "community" grouping Thanks for any help. 1111Forums.pdf

good afternoon, i have recently just created a new forum and am curious if it is possible to have a tab other than the default "browse" as the "landing" page? i am in the very early stages of design of the site, but that is one of the things i would like to have changed. i guess to be more specific, how can i have the forums NOT be the page you go to when typing in our URL? thanks in advance!

I notice I'm getting a Yellow warning bar using 5.6.xx now on fresh test installation. So I guess I'm wondering when IPB is going to expire/drop 5.6.xx support and move into 7? I did see this update So I guess 5.6 will be supported in regards to security fixes for a couple of years according to above. I was going to upgrade my WAMP version however, WAMP is only up to 7.0.10 and php is now up to 7.0.15, so I figured I could wait a few more versions to let WAMP catch up a bit, but how long is the question depending on when IPB officially retires 5.6? I can switch in my current WAMP PHP set-up to 7.0.4 right now but I would rather wait till WAMP gets …

I am encountering an error in my test installation upgrade such as this: I do not think it is anything to do with the Beta version itself but my own database. I believe this is a database error? Can anyone decipher this error thrown? I moved my test installation from one server to another, this is why I think it may be due to something not configured correctly on my end. Any help is greatly appreciated. John Ok, never mind on the error, the upgrade took and completed. But, I cannot access forums, when I click on a category, the forum will not open. Hmmm, any ideas are greatly appreciated once again! John

Hey guys, How can I hide a custom field in a record when the field isn't filled? I have created a container which shows 3 different images. Thing is the container is also shown if there arent any images uploaded. So, how do I make sure that the container isn't shown if there aren't any images that have been uploaded. I know I need to add a {{if $record section in the code, but I am a bit confused on the complete piece of code. Is there someone that can help me? Thanks in advance.

If a member is allowed to "Hide own content" should that also allow them to hide a whole thread they started when others have posted replies? I've just experienced that and I think it is very worrying that members could hide/delete others posts when they aren't Mod/Admin accounts.
