Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted April 14, 20231 yr I have changed the subdomain for my wordpress site that links to IPBoard, but I have been gaving difficuly trying to relink IPBoard. I have had the license to the old site removed, and copied the 'community' folder into the public_html folder for the new sub-domain. After reading a post on the forum I then edited the base_url in the conf_global.php file to the new subdomain. From what I have read, I need to now enter the license key in the AdminCP. However, I cannot access it from the Wordpress site and I do not know how to access it. i would appreciate any help. Thanks, Wayne PS When moving the site, I used the Siteground 'move application' which did not require any changes to the database, so I do not think that is the issue.
April 14, 20231 yr You would not access the admin CP from your wordpress site. You would access it from your community location. So it would be yourSiteURL/admin
April 15, 20231 yr Author Thanks for your response Marc. I typed in mySiteURL/admin and it took me to Wordpress admin. So I typed in mySiteURL/adminCP and it says the page does not exist.
April 15, 20231 yr IPS ACP doesn't have adminCP just admin, and you should add your subdomain. example: forums.mysite.com/admin
April 17, 20231 yr Author Thanks for your response but as i said previously, mySiteURL/admin redirects to /wp-admin
April 17, 20231 yr Do you have a .htaccess file in the root of your site? If so, what are the contents?

The .htaccess file pointed to the old subdomain. I have changed it to the new subdomain. I was then able to get into admin and change the License using mysite.com/community/admin i appreciate your help.
