Hello, I am migrating my whole website to https. The forum is shown as unsecured, because it loads some elements over http. I got some logs like that : Plus, sometimes it loads the elements by calling the real servername url instead of the production CNAME one !! How can I avoid that?

Hi, I would like to have only one language on front-end for my site. So I deactivated the english language on ACP > Customization > Languages > English > Disable But sometimes I need english language on ACP (to find terms or to take screenshot in english for support here for example). Is it possible to allow english language only for Admin ? I don't want guest or others members could choose this language. I don't want google index the english language too (it will make duplicate language : french content with french menu and same french content with english menu : very bad)

I have a sub-domain on my site where I process payments. Now Google is telling me that me that because the other pages on my site (they listed several forum pages) are not https the secure section of the site will be flagged as insecure. I'm happy to buy a new certificate and install it on the forum section. How to I switch the site from http to https? Thanks (hopefully it's painfully obvious I hardly know what I am talking about)

We are looking to load balance our IPS forum and I am somewhat stuck on how to move forward. My issue is that I am not sure how to sync the files between the servers. We could use rsync but it seems that would be super complicated to use for bidirectional syncs. I also thought about NFS but that introduces a single point of failure from that network share. Does any have recommendations on how to sync files bidirectionally, or how you do sync files?

I see in the ACP there are moderator logs for when people edit posts. Is there a way to see what the original text was?

So I am doing some research on IPS Connect, but seems to me, that's two separate forums. I am trying to figure out how to add another domain, and have this format. domain1.com/blahblah/post/example.php? domain2.com/blahblah/post/example.php? Where you can be on either domain, and it will show the same contact, but under that domain the user is selected on. Instead if I go to domain2.com it would register/redirect the URL/Address bar to domain1.com. Is there any possible way to do such, and or to be pointed in the right direction? Thank you very much.

Hey everyone, Looking for some advice on below - Currently, my website is strictly my forum, meaning the .com domain goes right to the boards. That being said, however, we intend to move to a WordPress theme for a homepage/several other tabs, and would like to move the forum to domain.com/forum and have the new WP theme become the .com Can anyone elaborate on what is needed for such a move of the boards? Looking for anything specific to the IPB suite I should know in the move. Thank you.

If I wanted to boost/emphasize topics/posts, do I just set the levels for Container priority and Priority to "1"? And set the other categories to a lesser number? And why is my Blog showing up in the sitemap when I have it disabled? How do I get rid of the listing in the sitemap? Also why does my sitemap look like a string of text instead of a nicely XML format?

Hi all, as usual, sorry for any grammatical errors I've make some search but without find an answer (probably I've used some bad criteria) I would translate: %s replied to %s's %s in English result: somebody replied to TexFanatico's topic in In Italian, we have an other construction, and the translation would be: qualcuno ha risposto alla discussione di TexFanatico in Has you see, the 2nd and 3th %s have to switch (or, actually, I haven't find a translation that can maintain the English %s position structure) Someone have any idea? Thank you for your time

Hey!! I am having issues with my IP board. When searching for my website name on google the first results are like member profiles, registration, and the homepage, like not relevant ones. And the description is a text that a member have posted in my forum,- like what? And the forum that is showed in the results- have the description of one of the most unactive subforums on my board, which makes no sense to me. I also did a SEOcheckup and it says I have too many heading tags. How do i delete those? Please help I'll upgrate the thread as time goes too i think cause I experience bad SEO every time. Take care guys and thanks in advance.

Should there be a counter when someone reports content? I don't seem to get a counter. I receive the email but never see the counter (I do for messages and notifications though) When I click the dropdown the new reports are there but it would help if the counter showed.

Hi, As per title, is there a way to prevent some member groups (especially guests) from accessing All Activity i.e. https://domain.com/discover. We can hide "All Activity" menu item from certain member groups, but I realised that the "All Activity" is still there for guests to view. So I am assuming what they don't see is the menu item but they still have the permission to go to https://domain.com/discover.

Hey all, I have another application that I'm connecting to the ipb database and using the data. I am trying to understand how to fetch related topics by tag, but this is such a confusing architecture i find myself making big circles back to where I begin. What I know: The `core_tags` contains all of the tags that are in use currently, and they have these hashes for aai and aap lookup, which I have yet to find a connection between those and the topics themselves. I imagine that is the secret ingredient, So if anyone understands the database architecture and provide me with a mysql query to fetech posts by tag please help me out! Thanks

In v3 we were able to wrap some text with [extract] [/extract] in the product description. Though the entire text was the full description of the product itself, the text within the [extract] [/extract] was extracted as-is and used as short description on lists and what not. This seems not to be working in v4. What is the alternative v4? Or has this been removed in v4? Regards,
