Hi team, I need this settings, I don't know how can I do and I need your help. I need to sell the Course "A" + 1 month subscription for any new user, then the renewal monthly subcription will be aditional quote. If any user cancel renewal can acces to the course but not protected forum content. Only users with this purchased course can re-subscribe to this monthly plan. Any idea to setup? Thanks a lot.

Is there any guide to setup CF and IPB? Once activated for my site, if I go to admin, after a while I find myself thrown out with this warning: "Your IP address does not match this session."

Is there a way (or a module) to highlight a post? Here is the situation: I have long threads where people will post questions for an upcoming Q&A, but the thread also includes comments like "Oh I was also wondering that", or "That question was already answered in this/that tutorial", etc. I would like to be able to highlight the actual QUESTION posts so they are easier to spot. Is there such a way to go about this?

Currently, our site is running an older plug-in that adds a number to each post in a thread. This is a vital feature in a forum that has long threads. But I'd rather not have extra plug-ins installed at this point. Has IPS finally gotten this feature added itself?

We have a section of our forum where members are allowed to leave feedback for each other. Each member with feedback has one thread that is for all feedback replies. I've seen forums with a similar set-up using ProBoards software, and they are able to add a link in the area below any member's avatar who has a feedback thread. This links right to the feedback thread and saves members having to locate it themselves. Here is what it looks like in ProBoards (red arrow pointing at the link): Currently, this is what the same area in our Invision community looks like: Is there a way to add a link, maybe under the "Location" or something? Thanks in …

I utilized the free trial plan to build and configure my community. I was finally ready to launch so I paid for the upgrade from free to a paid cloud subscription 8/17/23. The order immediately said it had to be reviewed for fraud, which is reasonable. I reached out to support asking if there was anything they needed on my end. I was told they just had to review and it takes up to 48 hours. I've been emailing and support has been next to no help... Fast forward over a week and I'm still waiting. At this point I'm losing opportunity and time to get ahead of other sites launching in this niche. Has anybody had this…

Hey folks, I thought for a second there, I read somewhere that in our core theme, we can flip a switch to allow a user to view the theme in a dark or light mode? If so, can you please tell me where the switch is? Thank you 🙂

Hey folks, just curious, as a user here in this community, when I go to see a profile, I always look for their website url in contact methods at their profile page, because I am curious what others are doing with their IP Communities. But rarely, if ever, do I see their links. Is there a reason folks here don't want other folks visiting their sites? I know many communities are pretty private for one reason or another, but for those who run a generally public community such as gaming, cars, guns, software, and much more, is there a reason why folks don't like to put their community link in their contact methods? Just curious is all.

In courses, on a lesson page (domain.com/courses/lesson/4-lesson-name/), the lesson title is an h2 tag. There's no h1 tag. Why is that? For SEO purposes, and even for CSS styling purposes, it seems like it would make more sense to have the lesson title be an h1 tag and then my own subtitles be h2 tags? Whoops: I just realized that the page is meant to be viewed as part of a module, and thus the module name is the h1 tag. Makes sense.

There is in the forum settings, the option that the post counter is not increased, also works. Could you somehow make it so that the box "forum statistics" also takes into this? Is there also the possibility to disable reactions for a forum? Kind regards, Vakarian

Hey Guys I am wondering if there is a way to make sure that deleted content is served as a 410 GONE error instead of a 404 page. I want to signal to Google that the content is deleted for good, so a 410 would be much better than serving a 404. But I don't know if there is any way in IPB to do that. Basically, every topic that I delete I would like to serve a 410, so that Google knows that the content is deleted for good and it can then quickly deindex it. Kind regards, Marcel

Hi all, when you are in the Client Area and go in My Details -> Alternative Contacts there is the chance to add an Email that has access to opening tickets and pay invoices: Will this contact also receive emails related to the original profile regarding that product (such as invoices notes or generic alerts on the selected product)? Otherwise, there is a way to receive emails not only at the address in section Account setting -> Email Address? Can we change the Display name in the Client Area? At the moment it is different from the one with which we can open the topics on the community (and we would like it to be Rulex for both). Thanks for you…

Hello, I'm trying to use the euro symbol (€) but even installing a european language like dutch does not seem to solve it, while it was suggested in this topic that i found here: Does anyone have a clue on how I can make it so it doesn't show EUR but an actual Euro symbol( €)?
