Hi guys is there a way to toggle categories to be closed by default? One of our categories section has a long list of forums for each category and some categories are not relevant so to prevent scrolling down we would like to close some caetgories by default and let the user toggle the right category for them. thanks

I'm trying to understand why the search engine doesn't show results from forums and topics. Furthermore, searching in forums or topics does not appear as an alternative. Is it a question of settings? Thanks in advance

I've been reading through the help guides and forum posts, and I've got a couple questions about Gift Cards. We're not planning on selling any physical items through the Commerce App, since I don't want to get into something that is soon to be removed. We're planning on having two subscription options that will be monthly tiers, only available on a month-by-month basis -- no annual purchase. Gift Cards are configured under Commerce/Store/Settings -- will they be able to apply to subscription payments? I'm imagining the possibility of one member wanting to gift another member with a subscription, so they could purchase the gift card of matching amount. Also…

Hi! I'm starting to configure subscriptions through Commerce, and I'd really like to use this company for payment methods: https://gprocessing.com/ Is there a way to do that, rather than PayPal or Stripe? Thanks!

I started an article (hidden) a little over a year ago and am now ready to publish it. I have since created a new category where that article belongs. If I publish (unhide) the article today, I want it to have today's date as the publication date, and I also want to move it to the correct category. How can I do that?

Hope I'm posting this in the correct spot. I'm looking for a good option for allowing members to leave star ratings on other members profiles. I've experimented with this: However, this only allows a member to leave one review on any member. Anyone know of something that would give the option for members to leave multiple reviews (as time goes on) on other members' profiles? Thanks!

I've needed this before but I don't remember how to do it.I have republished an article that used to be on my old wordpress-based site and some people have linked to the old URL. How can I create a redirect from that old URL to my new Invision page? Thanks!

Hello, I use an OAuth client from a WordPress site to allow users to login with their Invision Community account. See here: https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/members-and-groups/social-sign-in/wordpress-r304/ Everything works well except that the IP address saved by IPS in the logs is the server one's (the server where the WordPress OAuth client is hosted) and not the user one's. This is very annoying because all users have the same IP address in the logs: which prevents moderation correctly. For example in Device Logins (admin/?app=core&module=members&controller=ip&ip=xx.xx.xx.xx&area=core_Logins), more than 3015 device logins with…

Permissions with Secondary Groups I want a primary group with limited permissions such as max daily posts. Some of my users also belong it various secondary groups. Playing with this it looks like any restrictions for a primary group would be overwritten if a secondary group is less restrictive. In other words, I have a general primary group that is limited to 3 posts a day. I also have a subject matter specific secondary group that is not restricted. When I add the secondary group to a user the restrictions of the primary group are overruled. Do I understand this correctly and is there an easy solution?

I was playing around with some RSS Feeds yesterday and wondered if it's possible only to include a paragraph of the article being shared rather than the entire article from a feed? My worry is copyright and plagiarism. Did I miss a setting for this? Thank you.
