So I've just got access to our website's Google AdSense account and started to look at ancient reports. Doing so, I've noticed something pretty odd... We've migrated our community from VB to IPS on march 2020, and activated Google's automatic ads and all the built-in seo enhancements IPS offers. Being that we migrated from an old, non-reponsive, slow, and pretty much all-round crapola website from a time "I'm not even sure they had the Google" to a clean, sleek, responsive and up to date one, you'd expect pretty much all the associated metrics would go through the roof. However... looking at the graphs I see a SEVERE drop on almost all numbers. Pageviews have …

I have one site where the share feature is available: The other sites do not seem to have it available. I followed the guide and ensured all user groups, but "Guest" have been given permission to each of the following: I can't seem to find a setting (that jumps out to me) that would turn sharing on or off. Not sure why one site it would work and other sites it doesn't.

I have a database with over 1000 records that are all scheduled to be published in the future. I would like to trigger a Zap only WHEN a record is published. The Zap should not be triggered if the record is just created to be published in the future. It is possible? The action in Zap should create an event in the calendar in another IPS community. The record image should be used as an event cover. I do not see the cover field for the event in ZAP. So, not possible? The actions in Zap are to create a new member AND create a new event with this member as an author. I do not see a possibility to refer to the previous action in Zapier, where I can pick the m…

My community is self-hosted and I use the free Cloudflare plan together with IC. Works quite well! One problem though I have, is that Cloudflare seems to block login to the Marketplace and the error below is shown. In Cloudflare I whitelisted the URL as follows: Firewall > Firewall Rules: This unfortunatey does not resolve the issue. I am aware that this is an issue around the configuration of Cloudflare, but I hope since many IC installations use Cloudflare, someone might be able to help how to whitelist the marketplace URL. Thanks!

The installation instructions below contain the following paragraph: Since I'll be making a local IC test install for the first time soon, I'd like to clarify the bit in bold, above. Does this mean that if I want to install it at my PC's local network address of 192.168.1.16 I can't, it must be localhost only? The full installation instructions for reference:

As the title says, I'm unable to find an option within the ACP to allow my users to view their own content behind a permission-restricted discussion where their topic may have been moved to. Is there any settings anywhere where I could have missed to possibly enable this sort of functionality? Thanks, 1B0Y
