Today I installed this plug-in in 4.1.13.2

It doesn't seem to be working. It's blocking all the pages with a blank page and no visible message.
could I be doing something wrong ? I already have 15 plug-ins installed, not sure if there could be a conflict. 

I can only test on latest version, sorry. There's no way to test it on 4.1.13.2.

Will test it today later on 4.1.14.2 and will let you know.

It is working fine on 4.1.14.2:

 

If you're really using 4.1.13.2, I suggest you to upgrade, since the support is always given in latest release only.

If you're on 4.1.14.2, run the support tool on ACP to rebuild cache.

Before installing this, may I please ask what method you are using to exclude search engine bots from this?  If it is by IP address, is there a master list of addresses excluded and how is this maintained?

We have over a decades worth of content which is well indexed (and attracts a lot of visitors / sign ups) and wouldn't want to risk that.

Thanks in advance

Nope, it uses stuff from their framework (userAgent -> spider), not IPs.

Hi, Adriano!

What about activity stream?

I'd like to set guest view limit not only for forums, but for activity stream too.

Is t possible to add setting, which will affect it?

Regards,

Mike

 

[Adriano Faria]

Activity stream is not a content item. It only lists the items. 

Dawpi has a similar plugin that works for all pages, not only topics. It should do what you want.

Hmmmm... I have been using this excellent plug in for some time with no problem, but it just came to my attention today that it is breaking the mobile theme. If I view a thread on my forum with the plug in activated I only see other content like ads and such but the posts are not visible on my iPhone. Disable the plug in, everything fine. Same problem with Android. But everything looks fine on my PC and on my iPad. I am not sure when this happened but I did just update to IPB 4.1.18.2

I'll make some tests soon and will update the file, if that's the case.

Tks.

Please advise if it works on 4.2 once tested.  We are potentially experiencing the same issue as posted above (site breaking for guests accessing site on mobiles).

I will test it tomorrow. I'll update the file only after IPS 4.2 is released.

Is this fixed?

Can't reproduce it exactly like you're saying but I can see a chance of this happen. Let me know if you want to test a new version before I release it here.

Tks.

Just here to thank you. Perfect plugin, i see my member count growing since i got it!

Is this now tested as working on Mobiles for everyone?

[Stormlilly]

Bump!  Is this tested as working on phones?

I had to uninstall it several months ago due to above discussed bug.  Just wondering if it's fixed as I'd like to use it again.  It was a good Mod for increasing sign-up conversions.

[Adriano Faria]

Download again and make tour tests. I couldn’t reproduce at that time and seems no one else too.

@Adriano Faria -  It automatically doubles the amount of users on the platform. 

Possibly due to IP address lookup?

[Thomas Due Halfdaner]

Hi.

Will this plugin work with the last version of IPS 4.3??

Kind regards

Thomas

This plugin RULES! So I need to give it some shine here.

And it still does work even on IPB 4.5. Just wanted to let everybody know.

Also I wanted to personally thank the developer for this awesome plugin. Great job. 

Well worth 10 bucks. I would have paid 30 as well (one guy was complaining that 10 bucks is too much...)

The functionality of the plugin is simple...but if you do understand the value of having more members, then 10 dollars is absolutely NOTHING. And this is exactly what this plugin does: It will make sure you get MORE members each and every day. So would I pay 10 dollars for that? ABSOLUTELY!
