The issue on your site is being caused by the 3rd party item "(NB40) Pinned Posts 1.0.16" , which I have disabled for you

It really works now, thanks a lot

[AksenovSY]

It would be nice if such a feature appeared in the IPS4 CMS, Pinned Posts .
Since this feature is implemented in many CMS by default

Feel free to post that up within our suggestions area for review 🙂

Recommending a post has the effect of 'pinning' it at the top of a topic, on each page.

Actually, just to add to this, you could potentially also rename "Recommended" to anything you like using the language system.

Isn't Recommended only available for Admin and Mod? Plus, it would show the comment above the title of a post where pin post works like the traditional "top comment" like Reddit or YouTube. (You see them under the main post but above other comments)

Anyway, so pin post doesn't work with IPS 4.7 then?

TYPICALLY pinning something is only done by admins/moderators.   It was simply meant to be a suggestion to help.  If it does not meet your needs, no harm/no foul.  🙂 

If you are wanting IPS to consider adding some sort of functionality in the base software, you would make the ask in the Feature Suggestions forum.  It won't be seen otherwise as it would simply get lost in the mix of all the other break/fix issues. 

Regarding the plugin...  you would have to ask the resource author that question.  The author is literally the only one that can help with it.  By default, you won't be able to install a resource if the author has not flagged it as being compatible with the major version.  (4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, etc). If it's already installed and you upgrade...  it may continue to work, or it might not.  It depends on if the resource is changing anything that conflicts with a change in the new version.
