Hi, I am currently building a word press sales page using an application containing presentation widgets. I know that the IPB homepage was made under Page and that IPB is a powerful tool, very stable and has nothing to envy to word press. But today it's the easiest facility I've found to build my sales page. I want to make my word press page visible as if it was done under Page. I can integrate HTML code. How to recover the IPB header of my site in HTML? thank you

I wonder if it is possible to allow creating polls for members in blogs only and not in forum? I would like to have polls in forums only created by moderators. Is it possible?

For a support forum it's sometimes very annoying when users are starting conversations with admins and/or mods sometmies (pm's). Isn't there some option, that you configure for example who can send you private messages (conversations)? Like for example if you are an admin, that other admins and moderators (and maybe another choosen group) can send you messages, but normal users can not, or can only reply to conversations send to them?

I am currently building a wordpress sales page for the sale of an inscription to my forum. How to limit the number of pages before being registered easily and quickly? what do you advise of best? from the word press sales page send it to such a page that would be a basket page such as thrivecart by helping me with this https://www.opentype.space/superlist/ but from there it will still send back to the IPB basket and I still believe in a paypal basket page etc .. In fact, do not you think? Do you think it is essential to have a part of the site free with all its advantages and in addition that will allow to skip the registration step? …

What’s the best way to integrate with Mailchimp? Can it be easily done with the standard IP tools or will I need to purchase a plugin, and if so what would you recommend? Would be great if I could create and automatically update lists based on member groups and purchase history etc

I recently added the gallery feature to the site, and I am trying to get people to use it. When i link to it, i simply copy the URL that looks like this: https://allvirtualracing.com/index.php?/gallery/ But when i visit the posted link (in Facebook) it will go to this and that is not the gallery but i guess it forwards to the front page because of the % signs. https://allvirtualracing.com/index.php?%2Fgallery%2F= Am i doing something wrong?

I looked everywhere for this. In the gallery, users need to be able to move only their own content between albums and/or galleries (categories). This should apply to single images and albums as well. All I could find is a moderator option, but that isn't what is needed here, since I only want it to apply to their own content items. I'm surprised this isn't a thing for gallery already. Any help would be appreciated.

I use Amazon SES for my SMTP mail service. It works great, but they require that we “have a plan” for bounced emails and complaints. Does IPS track which emails bounce? What options do I, the admin, have to handle those bounces? If something hard bounces, can I have the system automatically unsubscribe them?

Hello, I am getting a little frustrated as this is my 4th attempt at getting our forum set up with HTTPS. I submitted a couple of tickets last week through the help section in the Admin CP of our forum, but have not gotten a response (though it says support will respond within 24 hours). Then I followed up with an email earlier this week to support@invisionpower.com, and again, no response. We are Community in the Cloud customers and would like to request SSL/HTTPS be enabled for our community. Can somebody please contact me about this? Thank you, Jennifer

I havem just installed CMS at my website. And added Pages to website. Do I understand correct that this is the best way to publish articles at my website? Because I am confused as I see here, at this website so called "Our picks" and it looks like typical pages with content. Anyway I have Pages installed. I see that comments are allowed: Bui in fact, there isn't option to comment when user goes to the article. But when signed in as Administrator then it is allowed to comment. So how to allow all user comment articles? Thank you for your help!

I am not sure how I can edit articles created by other users in a database (Pages). I am administrator. Administrators are allowed to to perform any action on database. Container inherits the permission of the database. Administrators have Unrestricted permissions in ACP->Moderators. I cannot see the link Edit below the article unless I set in ACP I am the owner for the field Author. I need a permission to edit any article on the frontend (not ACP) without changing the author. And ideally a possibility to give this permission to another user group. How do I configure it?

I have a lot of legacy postings in a number of specialist boards that would probably do a lot better as clubs. I don't see any current method of being able to import/move that content into a club. Are there plans afoot to enable Invision to do this?

Hello, I'm using colors for a few different groups and they display perfectly on mobile. My problem is that they don't come through on desktop anywhere besides the online list. Is there something I've missed that would allow the user names to show different colors in regular posting activity? They're all black currently.

In 4.x it's only possible to append new tags at the end of the list. Not a good solution for a list that is sorted.. (In 3.x the list was editable) Would be nice to be able to insert, delete and edit tagnames (correcting typing errors etc.) And let members add tags to existing topics, inclusive those started by others. (We had 60k topics when the tag system was introduced) Anyone aware of an add-on that can do this?

If you’re planning on having a news site/forum combo run on Invision, is it better to use the Pages app or Blog app for that? Looking forward to hearing from people who have used either. Thanks.

Hi, I have created a new database, that has no categories, stores records in database directly and should show records like articles on the database index. Now I would like to use a custom template for articles listing view and not sure if it is possible. In ACP I go to Templates and click on New, then select add database template. I would like a custom template for Category Articles (a red arrow). But there is no such template type in the dropdown list for the template type (red question mark). What template should I add in this case? I have tried Category List and Record Listing, both had no effect on my database index view. Or is it not possible t…
