At present there are three columns in the Our Picks main page (where you get to when you click 'view all' on the front page widget. I'd like to change this to four columns and also truncate the text to four lines so that all of the boxes are uniform in size. How can I go about achieving this? With thanks

I have a blog on my site https://www.recruitinginfo.com/ that is about college athletics and recruiting (both the site and the blog). I want to be able to feature guest bloggers on a regular basis and I'm not sure how to best achieve this. The first guest blogger posted in a way that essentially created a new blog. I don't think that really makes sense, because they are really only guesting on the main blog, not creating a whole new one. Also, as seen in the attached picture, when visiting the blog page you see the most recent post to "RecruitingInfo.com" blog, but for some reason the new one, "A Day in the Life", just shows a header. You have to click the hea…

Hi, I would really like to use a footer similar to the one I have seen here on Invision. Is there any guide of how to achieve it? Have Invision shared the code anywhere for reference? It would be a great help to me who is not skilled in coding. I have tested various 3rd party plugins but was unable to have the footer extended all the width at the very bottom (as used here) or to integrate the nice wave translation image. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Good day, I was wondering whether there is a way to restrict users from seeing the content of a forum ir club based on his activity. That is, on the number of posts he has contributed. I need to prevent certain users from seeing the content of specific forums based on how active they are and even based on how many likes he's had. Is there a way to do that? Thanks in advance

I am new to development and CSS. Yes, yes, I know. I am a bit in over my head. For some reason, whenever I make changes to the page_responsiveness.css it seems to make page builder suddenly stop working. When I revert the css file, page builder works again. And I NEED page builder. My first question is, are there drag/drop or very visually-responsive programs that I can edit and have it change the code, and then i can change the code to invision? I tried using bootstrap, and while I love that concept, it would be great if at the very least feed my invision template in there so I can see things change as I go OR be able to drag and drop changes. Does such a thing e…

Hello everyone, I was wondering whether it is possible to rename certain links in Invision community. More precisely "go to record" and "go to next unread record" I am using pages to create a course and reading next record or record is confusing. I would like to rename it to something like "next topic" or "next lesson. Is that even possible? See attachment I believe I watched a short video a few weeks ago about a functionality within ACP that sort of allowed you to edit frontend texts easily by enabling some function, but I do not remember where I watched it or if it was something like I want. Thanks so much

Hi ! When I send an image (jpg format), the system seems to modify it automatically while its size is strictly identical to its original size. The lack of resizing is normal since I checked "unlimited size." I can't explain this intervention by the system, the JPG quality is "100%" and I encounter the same phenomenon when using ImageMagick. Image evidence : Can you fill me in ?

I remember at *some point* turning on dimming of forum topic images related to how many unread messages there are. I hate it, and I want them to not be dimmed, ever, but I cannot for the life of me find the place where this setting is. Thank you for any help you can give me!

Hello everyone, I've just added an export PDF button to the CK Editor. I don't like the way it works so I would like to remove the installation zip file or any files associated with, not just the icon added to the toolbar. But I can't find a place where I can see all the plugins added/installed to the CK Editor the same way I see the extra plugins/modules installed in ACP. Anyone can tell me how to do this?

Actual product size is very small, please advise how we can increase the thumbnail for desktop and mobile view. Better if we can control the height and width separately, to try what looks good. https://carnity.com/store/category/8-off-road-driving-course
