Hi all! Question about permissions for Pages Database Categories. Is it possible to change the permissions of a single category to be different than the rest of the database? for example, if I have a database to which all users can submit content to, can I then have an "Archived" category in it hat cannot be posted to? If not, can you transfer records between databases? Thanks! Disregard, found the option as a per-category setting. Seems odd, but ok!

We would like to upgrade a very large project to 4.X At the same time we would change to https. My question is: when should I change http to https? As I have understood "Serve images from local server" would require to rebuild the content. The content will be also rebuilt after upgrade. Can I combine the both "rebuilding" to avoid rebuilding running twice? Rebuilt tooks some weeks on our server. And when it is better to change to https? Before upgrade, during upgrade (what step?) or after upgrade?

I had emailed prior to purchasing asking if the software would be able to detect PayPal disputes/chargebacks and I was told it could. Although 2 months into running my site I've noticed that it is not detecting it in any way. I would like to set up a system where it bans the users if they chargeback, how do I go about doing this?

Hello I have a user who is part of a group with over 30 accounts. I want to allow all users to edit their content EXCEPT one user. I couldn't find a setting to prohibit one user account from editing their own posts. Is there a way to prohibit one specific user from editing their posts? If not, my assumption is this can only be done as a group setting and I could create a new group with that restriction and assign the user to that group. I didn't want to do this as other users may realize that one account is separate. Is it possible to create another group with this restriction and assign it as a secondary group? I wasn't sure if the primary group setting t…

I just moved our website to a new server, and I have "hello" locked down, so of course I can't continue because hello is obviously not giving the correct response. How can I reset the perms for hello, so I can continue the setup for the rest api?

Hi together, after updating the IPS from 3.4 to 4.3.6 and migration to a new server, the content count doesn’t work anymore. For a better explanation see pictures below —> Member has Lana1 After 1 Post the content count shows still 0. I found out that the function “increase content count” was inactive, but after activating for each forum the problem was not solved. I use the conten count for group promotion rules to move users automatically tho a new member group. Someone a idea what is going wrong. Four each support thanks in advance.

Is there a way to provide a link directly to "edit profile" rather than going through the steps of going to your account settings first and then edit profile? thanks

Anyone know how a plugin thatll allow me to group all my renewal terms together with the option to create a Lifetime License for those who prefer to have a Product License rather than a subscription? i currently list 3 separate products in a single category for 1 actual product instead of them being grouped together as a single product with different terms because I cannot allow the option of a 1 time fee with the options of renewal for a single product. I want this but with the ability to add a No Renewal 1 time payment option.

I'm looking to go live with my site in a few days' time and I've just hit a potential niggle. I know I can define shipping rates and I can do so by weight. But it's dawned on me that if a user purchases several different items, then the total postage they pay at the end might be summation of the postage weight applied to each individual item. If item A bought on its own is $2, B $3, C $4 and D $5, then a customer buying all four would be charged (A + B + C + D) $14, even though the cost of such a package might actually be $6. That could be very problematic for us. I don't think anybody would expect to buy three books and pay such large postage. (For reference, w…

We have been getting lots of spam in member profiles for folks that sign up and never post. I can't seem to figure out how to set any member group restrictions to stop this. Specifically spam is in the 'about me' and 'interests' fields. Neither can be prohibited based on member group. Any thoughts? This probably affects lots of folks.
