Hey there, Has anyone figured out how to have two domains (same root, different sub) point to different content on the IP.Board installation? For example: http://www.mysite.com -> Some specific page created by Pages http://forum.mysite.com -> All other pages. I've set the board URL to be http://forum.mysite.com, and pointed www to the correct place. The issue is that IP.Board will redirect any requests to a hostname that is not the board url to the board url. I was able to do this in v3 by modifying IPSRegistry.php to look the other way if the board url did not match the hostname. Does anyone have any experience doing this in v4? …

Hi everyone, I think I have a problem with the sitemap and the no index tag, as you can see from the attached photos (sorry but it's Italian), google serach console excludes many pages, and the sitemap does not send files, even if it is read correctly. For excluded pages google says that they are excluded from the noindex tag and some are redirected pages. I'm sure it's some friends url settings and rewrite the url, even if in admin cp it's all set up correctly. is this search console behavior correct? is it wanted? Thanks in advance

We have to add an exit intent popup script in globalTemplate, but we want it should only trigger to guest users. Is that possible? <!-- Start App Sumo Javascript --> <script async>(function(s,u,m,o,j,v){j=u.createElement(m);v=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0];j.async=1;j.src=o;j.dataset.sumoSiteId='fb2ac9f4ac9d3e89da3cca0867b5';v.parentNode.insertBefore(j,v)})(window,document,'script','//load.sumo.com/');</script> <!-- End App Sumo Javascript -->

When I change the name to a forum it automatically redirects the old URL to the new one. It´s a 301 redirect but... Where those redirects are saved? It's a better idea redirect using .htaccess? Many Thanks.

I am wondering how you all take back up? I normally use rsync and separate full back up. But recently i was told by support staff that database back up time + file back up time should match. My database back ups are midnight back ups and since files don't change often, I do it weekly rsync. I am just wondering if someone has good solution so that database back up + file back up are in sync?

As one can see by the GTMetrix scores below, we're running poorly performing forums. Being a total novice, what's the best way to address the top 5 issues, which score a total F? We are using this htaccess file (un-altered): https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/7514-htaccess-for-ips-forums/4 I am guessing that these redirects might have to do with switching from http to https a while ago, however am not certain. Any assistance / guidance on how I can fix these issues is greatly appreciated. I've been searching for answers, however they deal address issues with Word Press pages.

hi all, I think I have a problem with my host's provider. seeing this now known notification: "Some functions are enabled on your server which have the potential to cause serious damage to your community or server. If you are in a shared hosting environment, some of these functions may bypass the restrictions which prevent one account on the server affecting another. Their presence also increases the amount of damage that could be caused if your AdminCP is compromised. Since Invision Community, and most other web applications do not use these functions, we recommend disabling them on your server, at least within the directory that your community is installe…

I recently upgraded from 3.x to 4.29 and after doing the utf8 convert and allowing the script to rename tables, it still left me with a few dozen tables with either a _copy suffix or a orig_ prefix I am pretty sure I can safely drop all those tables manually but wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this and if you also feel it's safe to drop these tables so they don't take up unnecessary storage space / memory many thanks!

Is there any way or app or plugin that can do the internal link creation based on our input? Example: If we have well written article on one of the famous places to visit: bla bla dune. So whenever this bla bla dune mentioned in the past or in the future, it will automatically create a backlink to that well written comprehensive article.

I am not sure how many of you guys have recently been impacted with sudden traffic drop after latest google algorithm change. We have lost over 70% organic traffic and now settling between 30-40% loss after a while. Looking at GWT I got really surprise how google is not factoring so many URL's now. I understand the content value of profile, likes and comments url are pretty low but why so many second, third, fourth pages of actually valuable discussions are also not indexed....? Is that because of ?&page=2#comments used by IPB instead of straight URL? Is there a way to change them...? Appreciate to hear any other SEO ideas that you guys are impleme…

Hi all, Load on my webserver skyrocketed after upgrading to 4.4.x. With 3.4.x load was always in the 13 range, and after the upgrade it jumped to 40. From my experience, this is either spiders/crawlers reindexing the whole site or spammers running bots to try to create new fake accounts. We've seen this in the past, and this huge spike was gone after a week or so. But it has been about 10 days now since we upgraded. What makes me more suspicious of this is that when we enable the "Under Attack Mode" at Cloudflare (we use them as our CDN), the load drops to the "normal" level of 10 that we used to see with the 3.4.x series. So it is either what I d…

1 year ago I had a failed upgrade and I didnt restore it because the forum is workiing fine. I tried to move to invision cloud and they said that they will upgrade it, then found this problem. "After performing further work on this, and proceeding, I was able to identify the issue here, you attempted an upgrade on 4/7/2018 04:11, in which case was partially ran, then stopped mid upgrade. A restore was not completed of the database, so your database has been populated with IPS 4.x tables, with broken data. There is a duplicate set of tables from your site in the database that have not been affected since the attempted conversion, we may be able to use those ta…

I would like to upload approximately 400 files to my IP Board. Each file needs its own Downloads record entry. Is there a way to batch import these Downloads, or do they have to be uploaded one by one by hand?

I'm part way through: a server move, adding certificates to the moved sites renewing Invision licenses if they have expired and upgrading Ip.Board to supported versions Progress: Server move is complete Adding SSL certificate to a site running v3.4.6 with expired license is complete Adding SSL certificate to a site running 3.4.8 with an unexpired license, the site refuses to validate any IP.Board logins. Removing the certificate and reverting back to http:// all works again. Possible causes: Is this because at the Invision back end, for the unexpired license, I have to tell Invision that the board URL has changed …

Hello, I am passing a fine-tooth comb here and found the errors below in our php-fpm.log. It seems we have scripts giving segmentation fault.

Greetings, Yesterday I setup a new subdomain on my site to serve static files, static.atariage.com. The forum is running at https://atariage.com/forums/. I'm using a wildcard SSL certificate, since I have a few different subdomains I use for this domain. I created a new storage configuration for the forum to use this domain: In cPanel, I have the document root for static.atariage.com the same as the atariage.com domain, /home/account/public_html. I setup an A DNS record pointing to the same IP that's used by t he primary domain, atariage.com. I then added this domain to the SSL certificate in cPanel. Here's the domain under Subdoma…

I know its a bad practice, but for quite a while I am using the root mysql user in conf_global.php to connect to the database. For some reason I was not able to connect with a normal regular user. Today I tried again: create new user, grant all privileges to the needed database, flush privileges, modified conf_global.php and again - unable to connect. At the same time, I can connect via the console with the new user, view the database and select data from it. Is there something obvious I am missing and in fact what should be the mysql user permissions?
