No matter how hard I try, I am not able to get FB promotions working. I thought that the last change that allowed a separate application for promotions, one that you can keep in dev mode so the extra permissions are not needed would help. However, while the content is posted on the fb page it seems that it is visible only to me. I have a strong suspicion that noone has the fb promotion working, maybe only the people who jumped through the thousands fb hoops and obtained the required permissions. So, if you have FB promotion working without waiting for FB permissions approval, please raise your hand!

Just had an email - 'Updating your Stripe integration to prepare for SCA regulation A new regulatory requirement will introduce 2 factor authentication for many online payments in Europe Payments that aren't authenticated will be declined...' Do I need to do anything to prepare for this or has IP already got this covered for us?

I'm looking for a way to increase the duration that members will appear on the 'Who's Online' list on the board index, at the moment it's set to 30 minutes. Is there a setting for this somewhere ? Thank you.

I need to embed image sliders into pages articles. I thought I could do it with Slider Maker, but this isn't the case. Question: Does anyone know how to use image sliders in pages articles? If I cold embed a gallery into an article that would enable readers to browse images right in the article that would be great as well. We post product reviews and would love to display image sliders of the products between paragraphs of text.

Is there a way to ban a forum user from one (or more) specific forum(s) while still allowing them access everywhere else ? If not, is there a plug-in available anywhere that can do this ? Thank you.

Hi, the notification for the 4.4.7 update says it has a security update, the release notes don't mention it. So, is it a security update or not?

If i use the RSS feed import it imports the whole article. Is there any way i can change that so it imports so many characters of the post or half of it or somthing. I am concerned that if i import the whole post as is the default it will cause duplicate content issues.

Hi. Having a problem understanding... We've created Clubs. The club in question has members. The members can post images, but not to an existing album created by a leader. So, if I understand it correctly, there is no such thing as a 'club' album, the club album created by a leader/owner remains theirs? Thanks

I have a couple pretty good sized forums. I would like to add a "similar content" block to every topic page. So no matter which topic they open, the similar content block shows in the sidebar. Is there a way to do this without having to go to every page on the forum? Sorry, I know I should know this by now.

When you delete an image from an album, shouldn't the corresponding file be trashed from the disk? I deleted an image over an hour ago and it's still there. I thought there might be a cron...?? Thoughts? Thanks!

Do I have as Administrator an ability to receive notifications about when someone replied to any Member status update? Sometimes it may be sensitive or prohibited content so I need to know about every message in statuses to provide clean conversation.

Morning y'all! Apparently the reported content icon at the top of the forum front end is supposed to show a count of reported items, when there are some, similar to the notifications icon showing when there's followed content viewed or the private message icon telling us how many PMs we have unread. I say "apparently" because I've never seen it happen. I'm only aware of this because I recently elevated someone from moderator to admin status, and she said after her role changed she stopped seeing the report count. After she brought it up, moderators have chimed in to say they still see the count. I initially thought it might be a permission issue, but my accou…

Is there a way to create an RSS feed (or an external block) of images in club albums? I can get the RSS feed, but I only get the image title, not the actual image. Thanks!!

Folks have so much trouble uploading content to my site. Between the dreaded -200 error, and other "cannot upload" issues it's really getting some folks frustrated. Each time this comes up someone jumps in and says "it's probably your server settings" Before we jump right to that again can we consider for a moment that maybe there is something else going on? For example I offer the following to consider. I tested other software on the SAME server, with the same settings and there are no upload issues. I know that using IPS with multiple tabs breaks the upload in progress (one issue I figured out) I wish we could get it working well beca…

Does anyone else see this? I submitted a support request as well. Hi, when I take a look at my master sitemap "topics" entries, there appears to be only 510'ish topics listed per parent entry. There is a new parent entry created every 7 days exactly with no recent topics included, after that date. From what I can tell topics are not included until every 7 days (so the sitemap may be out of date by up to 6 days). This seems odd or is a bug since we have more like 600+ topics a week (~90 a day). This must mean some topics are not being included? See below for an example, or at least my logic. https://www.**witheld**.com/sitemap.php https://www.**witheld…

I've just moved my Invision Community (v4.4.6) to a new hosting platform, based on the LiteSpeed server. Everything appears to be running correctly without the need for any tweaks and I just checked this forum to see if anyone else has experience of running IPB under LiteSpeed. Mostly what I found is the support team saying that LiteSpeed is non-standard and therefore any problems experienced are to do with the hosting platform and not with IPB. That worried me a little and I wondered how seriously the Invision Community team are taking LiteSpeed, which in my experience is rapidly gaining critical mass in the hosting sector. There is absolutely no doubt that it is faster …

Dear Community, I have Wordpress SSO needs. I would appreciate guidance on the best way to proceed, as in whether I need a plugin or SSO support from IPS. Need 1 (the most important): I have an IPS board. I have several external organizations on Wordpress who would like to use my IPS platform as their forum platform. To accomplish this, I need to offer them (multiple WP sites) the ability to SSO with my IPS. Ideally, my IPS board would import their users and grant them SSO access to the IPS community. Remember, it’s several different Wordpress installs synching their users and logins with my single IPS board. Need 2 (less important): I would like …

So I ask the group if they know anything about this Over the past few weeks I've noticed something odd about the "activity" tab/page. When I try to load earlier content after scrolling to the bottom once the page updates it puts me at the very bottom of the added stuff, whereas before my experience was that my view would stay in a fixed location while the added stuff would get tacked on below. The old way made it easy to keep scrolling back through a long chain of new content without losing my place, whereas now I whenever I try to load in another screen worth of stuff I have to scroll back up find where I was or else miss a bunch of stuff. Has the…

The forum logs users via Single Sign On through a WordPress site. In other words they already find themselves logged in if they have an account on the WordPress site in question. I wish to remove the following options from the Account Settings page on my forum since they serve no purpose at this point. If the user wants to change them he can already do it in his WordPress account. I wish to hide/remove the clickables that are in a red square from the Account Settings page.

I tried importing arguably too many images into a gallery and now all image uploads, including things like trying to upload profile pics, now fail. I've cleaned out cache, have plenty of free Linux disk space, and I even deleted that gallery, but I'm wondering is there something else I can do such as cleaning out a particular folder in the file structure? (if so, I am not sure where to go. I saw the successful uploads in ./uploads/monthly_2019_09 but trying to clear those successful uploads from that batch for the gallery I deleted out didn't make any difference) One weird thing is I can upload pics, if the pics were already previously uploaded! The System …
