Hello, Our community has an external calendar with a lot of events. I would like to be able to automatically sync that with the Calendar in our forum. I don't see an option to do this in the Calendar settings, but I thought I might be missing something. If it is not a built-in feature, can anyone recommend a plugin/mod that does it? Thanks!

As per title, Is it possible to zoom out a cover photo? The height being less than 200px is quite short (maybe this is just my theme) I can adjust the css for cover photos which is okay but ideally it would allow users to resize (based on zooming in and out as well as moving around) the photo.

Is someone already using it and can explain to me on how to set it all up. Generally im asking for 1) Do i constantly need to run a server so someone can buy it, or can they "start/create" it with an API call? 2) Do i have to take care of something when i want to sell domains, or can i just sell them without thinking about it?

One of my users made me aware of this, does anyone know if this is normal (and if so, what the story is)? When copying an image on a website (i.e. using "Copy Image" instead of "Copy Image Location"), and then pasting it into CKEditor, the behaviour differs in Firefox (have tested FF/Chrome/Edge). Firefox: Upload a PNG of the image via plupload and insert it into the editor. Chrome (screenshotted)/Edge: Insert an HTML image into the editor with the original URL as src.

Hi, I have a pages database with categories. In the categories I want to show to a specific usergroup the topic titles but not the topic content if they click on the topic. Seems it doesn't works this way on pages, I have checked every single permission available. Any idea? Right now members of that usergroup can see on the front page all categories and the first topics but an empty page if they go to the category. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi guys, I successfully ported my bbpress content into Invision Board using the conversion tool. However, after the whole process I'm only seeing two groups with actual users, administrators and members. Is there a way to map my WordPress User Roles during the conversion process? Thanks!

Well, I feel like an absolute idiot, but there ya go! I have two sites, both for roleplaying, so being able to share specific post links for tagging the next person to post is pretty important. My first site has this enabled so we can grab the link and post the tag in our Discord. However, on the new site, I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to enable it. I've tried everything, even a setting by setting comparison between the two sites and still no luck. So, pretty please, can anyone tell me how to enable the sharing of links to specific posts (see screenshots for clarifications)? Thank you so much!
