I've tried setting meta tags for a specific page on my site (https://gamearmada.org/star-citizen-polska). As you can see below I set various opengraph tags but despite that facebook doesn't see this. When you check with their debugger what is scraped it seems these are totally ignored (see for yourself). Therefore my question is how can I set those for specific pages when needed? Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug? If you think this issue is better suited to peer-to-peer support section then please move the topic. Thank you!

Can someone elaborate on what this actually means in the 4.4.2 release notes? What's changed? Commerce Improved the display and functionality of non-recurring subscription packages. Improved security of public endpoints that receive webhooks and other notifications from gateways. Fixed an issue where guests who cannot view the site cannot register if a subscription is required to be purchased during registration. Fixed not being able to check out through Braintree purchasing a subscription while using a credit card. Fixed upgrading of expired purchases resulting in account credit being issued. Fixed an issue where creating a subscr…

Hello. I'm trying to setup the Facebook login for my site. It seems to work, however I'm running into some things which are not mentioned in the howto yet, which might have to do with the GPDR implementation. 1.) Deauthorize Callback URL. Do I need to enter this and if yes, what do I need to fill in there? 2.) Data Deletion requests. I put in the url to the contact form there, because users can contact the admin that way to delete their accounts. Is that correct? 3.) Redirect URI (or URL?) to check. Example https://example.com/oauth.php is given. The only oauth.php I found is at https://www.mydomain.com/applications/core/modules/admin/applications/oaut…

I would like to disable content discovery for guests, so they can't see or use the "all activity" or other activity links. I also have a custom made RSS which shows new posts made. And it seems if I disable guest access for "content discovery" this also blocks access for guests to my RSS feed, in spite of the fact that I enabled visibility for everybody in the RSS feed itself. Is it even possible to enable guest access to the custom RSS feed but disable access to /discover for guests?

Is there a way to manually add members to a subscription plan? Admin from a board I've converted has a bunch of people promoted to a group via a 3rd-party resource and wants to port everyone to subscriptions. If there isn't a way, a plugin will come.

A client with a big DB updated this weekend from 3.4.9 and had 19,000 topics/posts hidden. So it shows in all forums: Happens that they couldn't make it ONE BY ONE on ModeratorCP or clicking in the links above (yellow). Several forums had 500 topics, 2000 posts, etc. A huge and annoying job. So I deleted, by their request, all posts queued = 1. Good... And they deleted via framework the topics, which was faster and easier. But when they click on that number of hidden posts in a topic, an error is displayed because queued posts were deleted: Ok, so how do I update that cache (or something) to remove that counter from forums as there are no hid…

Can any site url be made a referral link if "/refer/[user id]" is added to the end? Similar question: can different site pages be set for different referral link options that users can pick from? It makes sense to me that users trying to refer people would want it to be easier to pick either pages with attractive content or just direct people straight to registration.

Hello. I keep getting the occasional warning from Google that certain pages on my forum have failed the mobile friendly test. Specifically, text too small to read. I just looked at one of these pages and the original poster has altered the text size to make it smaller. Why anybody would do this is a complete mystery. I can understand someone increasing the font size to make it easier for them to read -although any replies would be in the default font anyway so pretty pointless. So my question is is it possible to prevent members from altering the text sizes when they are posting? Or at the very least is it possible to specify a minimum font size?

One of my site has almost 3/4 million posts. Most in a single forum. They like it like that. What would clubs do for us? Am I missing out on a really cool feature?
