Hey there, I have a quick question. What would the process look like if I wanted to migrate my forum From: https://www.breatheheavy.com/exhale/ To: https://www.breatheheavy.com/ There's currently a Wordpress installation in the public_html folder. My server host managers say they can transfer the files, but as far as URL redirects and all that... they can't help. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, We're beginning to face people using our graphic ressources to their own purpose without authorization. In order to make our images less attractive to those people, I'm looking for a way to put our logo into all the pictures hosted by the community (watermark). I've not found a standard option to do that, so there is maybe some trick to perform it (a daily cron for example ?) or a plug-in ? Thankyou for your help, Regards, Z

Hi I just bought and started looking at Pages. I have the default setup with the articles database, and one article. Now, I would like to layout the article itself a little bit better. Help the user align pictures and text and stuff. Better readability as we do have some quite long articles. I thought I maybe let them use the Table plugin to ckeditor. Tried that but, need the TableTools plugin as well to get right click contect menu to edit the table after creation. Did not get the right click menu, so I may have done something wrong there. Added the tabletools as Toolbar button, which may be wrong? Anyway, how should we go about giving the user a little bit bet…

Hi all, I currently have 2 subscription plans. Both offer the same thing, but the older subscription has been disabled due to some issues with PayPal. How can I merge/move subscribers from one plan to the other without resetting the subscription time? In hindsight I should have just rebranded the original plan, but oh well.

We have a special need where we need to segregate users into 4 segments and each segment should have 3 subscription options. Showing 12 subscription in one page is confusing and overwhelming. So I am looking for a way to have subscription link that we can embed in a button and it fires to checkout page with invoice creation at backend. Hope it's possible? Thanks in advance.

I have a business idea, which involves using a database which could conceivably grow to hundreds of thousands (and who knows - maybe millions down the line!) of entries (which would be only text and simple markup, e.g. bold, italics, etc). Is there anyone out there who uses the native Invision DB for large amounts of data? If so, do you / at what point have you experience(d) slower site operation and DB access? I'm currently debating whether to embed my business project in my existing Invision framework/DB or to begin with an independent mySQL database/website and go from there. Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer their experiences!
