Hi everyone, I've ran into some troubles. Anywhere that there is java-script of CSS on the webpage is failing to load properly. Upon inspecting the issue farther, I've realized that the person is because the images are being pulled like this: <link rel='stylesheet' href='https://pxg.me/https://pxg.me/uploads/css_built_1/341e4a57816af3ba440d891ca87450ff_framework.css.b7a64409a61c9f3ac310b5d9de28fcee.css?v=5a2301238b' media='all'>Rather than like this: <link rel='stylesheet' href='https://pxg.me/uploads/css_built_1/341e4a57816af3ba440d891ca87450ff_framework.css.b7a64409a61c9f3ac310b5d9de28fcee.css?v=5a2301238b' media='all'>Any help would be greatly appreciate…

There used to be a way that you could toggle to see either the text with formatting or the code with a light switch toggle on 3.x. It's not in the editor for 4.x, anyway to get that back?

Hello, I've upgraded from 3.4.8 (in my localhost first because of a huge database) and trying to set everything up. When I converted the database it went smoothly, I choose "utf8mb4". When I log in to admin panel I see that the "background processes" are not done, and when I try to enable them manually, it starts at first but after a while I get this message: "Sorry, you do not have permission for that! 1S111/1 Data too long for column 'msg_post' at row 1" What could be the issue, where should I look to first?

In this thread there are a couple of XML templates available to download to do all of this but this seems to be problematic for some including myself. I am on 4.0.8, and after importing the template and creating a page I get a blank page, adding the database showed error. Is there a step-by-step guide to creating something similar from scratch for a Pages/Database newbie?

This has probably got a very obvious answer, but I'm blowed if I can find it. How do you close a poll (prevent new votes being made), but leaving the topic open to replies?

Attempting to either hide certain groups from advanced search or if that's not possible remove the option to search by group entirely - So far everything I've tried hasn't worked unfortunately, curious if anyone might know how to go about achieving this? Hoping to keep the admin user name(s) hidden, in addition some groups may not want their names publicly displayed. Thanks!

In 3.x this used to be filtered based on a search setting. Not the case from what I can tell now. Where do you select what boards you would like to see new posts pulled from in the Latest Topics block?

Alright guys, heres the thing. Im trying to do some customization for my ipb forums. Thing is. I can't seem to figure this out on my own. Issue one/two how do I change the name Blog to News and the word Forums to Media Kit (A example is the tabs you see above saying blog/ forums. Id love that changed. As well as when you're in that section the first title you see is blog/forums.) So by changing it, id love it to read News/ Media Kit based on which tab you're in. Third issue is on the blog section. When I view the front section (picture below) and want to read an article, if i click the link, it goes to the article, but if i click the picture, instead of going to the ar…

I had this setup with 3.4.7 in the SQL section of AdminCP but 4.0 doesn't have an SQL section. I'm doing a weekly draw on my forum giving away $50 every week. To enter, members have to contribute 50 posts in the forum over the course of that week. I need an SQL query that will generate a list of every member who posts 50 times or more in the forums from [starting date/time] to [ending date/time]. I've tried to figure it out but I'm not an SQL pro by any stretch. If anyone could throw me in the right direction, I would be super grateful. Thanks! -Andrew

I just upgraded my forums to IPS4. The archive feature was turned on and it archived a good 75% of my community. I am unable to manually unarchive the topics or if I turn off the archive feature, It doesn't unarchive the posts when it said it would. Has anyone run into this before? Can this be fixed? Should I create a ticket?

I might be totally dense, but I can't seem to find where to change how many download items are listed per page. The default seems to be 25, but does anyone know where to change that?

I have iThemes security installed on wordpress which is located in my root folder. However some of it's .htaccess rules are leaking into the forum sub folder. I'd like to blanket exclude any rules from my root .htaccess from being applied to the forum subfolder. (The forum sub folder already has it's own rule set) Can I place the following at the beginning of the root .htaccess?: RewriteRule ^/ - [L]I'm hoping this will stop anything from be applied to the sub folder Thanks!
