I can't find a way to move blogs I've made to other categories I've created. I see where I am able to click on a blog entry and select "Move," however, when I do this my other blog categories do not show up as options to where I am able to move the blog entry. Also, I see no way to delete the blog categories that I've created. Please let me know if there is a way to do both of these things, as I was unable to figure this out.

We have a problem with the archiving of old forums. From always we have the archive of forums that have not had movement in the last 5 years. For a cleaning reason I had to unarchive a lot of forums to hide or delete blocked posts because if the forum is archived it does not allow it to be hidden or unblocked posts. To unarchive them I have done it through the AdminCP, removing them from the list of forums to archive. Now, I have the problem that once the cleaning is done, I put them back in the list of forums to be archived in the AdminCP, but it doesn't archive them. I have seen that in the moderation actions of a forum the option "Al…

Good evening, I have an onprem installation and I want to copy the live content to my test-instance. Are there any solutions? I didn't found something right now - maybe I didn't looked for the correct wording in Google. Or maybe can I just copy some table, like users, categories and content? I don't have much customised (only css, javascript, etc.). Thanks for your help in advance! Greetings Martyn

Hi, In one of recent updates you (IPS) disabled access to CSS files. However, I am stuck with my mods I made to the CSS files and now I have no way to revert it back to default. Hoe I can do this? Problem is that I used there !important rules, so now I can't override it trough custom.css. Can you add an option to "sync" the "hidden" CSS to default or tell me a way I can do this? Case is that you have hid it without syncing to default.

Hello everyone, We have implemented all updates regarding the PHP version. Now we are worrying about data loss or website functional error that may occur at this time. Can someone support the update or can we easily do it ourselves?

I would like to merge two posts. When I do so, they appear in order of date. Am I able to change the date of a certain post so that is the one that becomes the main post body? (rather than a comment near the end)

I did not find coupon data in the commerce statistics. The necessary data is in successful transactions: name/date/product/income and discount, but they are not in the commerce statistics. How is it possible to see the results for the selected period for the selected parameters, similarly as for products? It would be great if this data would be included in the ACP commerce statistics along with the products and the ability to upload a CSV file. What the best way to access coupon statistics? Thank you.

Hello, I mis-uploaded an upgrade pack to a wrong site, and I recovered with the original files, but when I login to the ACP every time, I got this error page: If I continued the 'Complete Upgrade', it showed a file check error, but all the files have been recovered with the original ones: Does anyone know how to fix it？ Thanks.

Umm... I purchased a beginner package and I've read the Help Guide, but I can't see where to login for the first time and access my ACP to set things up. I think I'm missing an initial email or something telling me where to go. Confused. Also, there is no formal email we can write to do individual support? Everything is done here in the forums? Please advise. Jason

When you enable fluid view in the board index, you will get a beautiful fluid view of all topics in all forums. But even if you filter by "last updated", all pinned topics appears first. Is there a native way to hide pinned topics in fluid view and maybe I am missing it? I now this is expected, but let me explain my problem: in the board index, the fluid view will show all pinned topics, from all categories and subcategories, first. Imagine dozens of categories and subcategories with pinned topics with info that is relevant only in the context of the category.

We want to encourage new users to use their real name as their user name when registering, and to discourage or prohibit them from using an email address or just a first name. Where can we insert text to do so? Can we place restrictions on allowable user names?

I have a site that is niche specific but has some non-niche related forums (such as Politics). Is there a method for throttling posts in a given forum or set of forums OR perhaps earning/applying a credit system to post in a forum/set of forums? The issue is that these members do post quality site content at times, however they post an unbalanced number of lesser quality/unrelated topics. You may ask why even have the unrelated content, but it creates conversation and engagement that leads to posting site niche related content that is valuable. One marketplace add-on I found that could effectively throttle a set of forums is @DawPi's

Hi there, Is there a way, when adding an article, to display a manually curated list of related articles, files, downloads etc? I know you can use the tag system or organise things into categories, but I'm looking for something which would allow for a more specific and controlled way of linking and promoting content items which are very specifically related. For example, you might right Article A, and then alongside it have a widget/block which said "Other articles in this series: Article B, Article C, Article D... etc". Thanks.

I just had a user post HEIC format images, but they do not auto embed within the post. I converted them but wondering if 4.5 supports this format? Looked it up and found that: HEIC is the file format name Apple has chosen for the new HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) Standard.
