I can add tags to articles in my Articles database. They are displayed in green with the word "Tags:" in front. Is there a way to change that color and remove the word "Tags"? So for example here I want it to say simply "Workflow":

First Q, I want filtering group promotion by two cumulative earned badges.I mean, only if the user gets both badges he will be promoted. Does picking both of the badges in the promotion badge filtering accomplish this? Another Q, what is the best way to manually massive move users between groups?

Hi, I have question about Pages and licence. This is an example: I have my community installed on subdomain invision.domain.tld There are forums, gallery, blog etc. And now via Pages I want to create landing pages for my community, which would be located in root (domain.tld) Is it possible by Pages and it's allowed by licence which is valid for subdomain?

Hey guys, We're currently running an on-premise solution of the IPS Community package and we've recently started contemplating a potential transition towards the IPS cloud solution. We've inquired twice now through the contact form to see how a migration might look like though unfortunately we're still waiting on a response from the sales team. I hoped to be able to get into direct contact with someone who could assist us in scoping out the potential lift-and-shift if at all a possibility.

Due to spammers I have set my forum so new registrations need approval before they can sign in. After doing that I no longer get an email notification that a new member has registered and the account needs my approval. Is there a setting I can change so I will get an email when someone's registration needs approved? Thanks for your help.

I'm trying to connect my Invision sub sites with the main Invision site for auth (which I use to be able to do) and is still advertised as a possibility. Yes I clicked on the link "Connect Two Invision Communities" and it says the same thing. I'm running 4.7.10 but I don't see AdminCP -> System -> REST & OATH option anymore (which I use to) Can someone clue me in to how we do this now?

I'd like to add a section on our site where we can add vendors with whom the community has worked and had good experiences. I would like the ability for users to indicate their level of satisfaction with the vendors...upvoting or reviews or ratings, something like that which will allow vendors rated the highest by community members to be indicated as such. I saw that upvoting is only available in Q&A type forums. It looks like Gallery and Downloads allow reviews...our vendor entries wouldn't necessarily be the intended purpose of Gallery or Downloads, but it could work...maybe. Anyway, wondered if anyone knew of the best way to do this? Thank you.

I'm having a nightmare / brain fade! I've just changed on my mobile to desktop view of my site. And I can't change it back. Must be the sun here in the UK getting to me. Can someone remind me how I change it back? This is my personal view of the site, not everyone's.

I'm just starting my community setup and deleted the default forum that comes with the platform. I then created a new forum category with a discussion form underneath it (see screenshot of ACP below). Here is the site: https://www.thewave.engineer/forums/ However, when I look at the front end nothing is there....no General category and no Personal Projects discussion (see screenshot below). What am I doing wrong? How do I get the forums to show up on the front end?

I would like to implement group promotion rules based on the frequency of the member's last post. Specifically, I want a member from a certain group A to be moved to a group B if he added a post in the last 7 days (last week). If the member in group B does not post for 7 days, I would like him to be moved back to group A. Is this possible? What settings should be made for this scenario? How many promotion rules must be created? Thanks for any guidance!

My menu looks like this (note the podcast item): I would like to set that podcast item as the default application, but when I look in my Admin settings it isn't listed (see screenshot below). How can I make the podcast menu item the first thing people see when they enter the site?

Hello again Invision Team, So for some reason on some of my threads have blocks above and to the right. I have no idea how they got there and I don't want to see them. It appears I can add block by using the pop out panel in the left as an Admin, but I can't seem to remove the blocks that were mysteriously added. How do I remove them or manage them? Makes no sense. Thanks in advance! Jason

I am in the process of converting a homemade CMS to Invision and in the basics is moving an article table and converting the images. I have the images in a folder in the uploads folder and they show fine when displaying the articles. My issue is when I go to edit the article the image shows 0 kb and it requires me to upload a new image when I go to save the image. Are there any work arounds I can do so that the images are "properly" uploaded to Invision? Note that there are thousands of articles so I don't want to do this manually. I'd guess only the newer ones would need to be reuploaded and would do it manually if needed, just want to see if there is an …

I was playing around in the Main Manager area and was not able to make a customized menu name. In the options for Menu Item Type only for applications and such installed on the system. The other option is Configuration but that is for those who can access/see the menu. I have an application and want to rename the tab for that application but it can't be done within the system from what I can see. How can I do this if possible?

I have set up a club and can view it on desktop, but when I try to view the club on mobile it doesn't show up. Currently it's the only club I've created and when viewing clubs on mobile no clubs show up (even though it shows up on desktop). Any idea why that might be and how to fix it? I've had others try this on mobile and they get the same result.
