Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted November 29, 20231 yr Please advise if any of the licensing terms or costing have changed on how to avail email support?
November 29, 20231 yr Community Expert Well more than a year ago, the support model was changed to be forum first. Self hosted users need to post on the forums here which are monitored by staff. If it requires deeper analysis or is something confidential in nature, they can open a ticket on your behalf which would be communicated via email. If you are hosted by IPS, you can open a ticket via the client area. What problem are you having? One of the values of being forum first is you get the experience and scale of other customers as well. Edited November 29, 20231 yr by Randy Calvert
November 29, 20231 yr Community Expert As Randy mentioned, support functions the same, for more than a year now we changed where you start it. You can create a topic in our staffed support forum at the link below and state your issue. If there is highly sensitive information, we have ways in the Client Area to obtain that information securely by our staff only or we can pass it to a ticket if further investigation is required. https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/forum/497-technical-problems/
November 29, 20231 yr Author Thanks Randy, totally understand that. I just updated my site to the latest version and now events / calendar isnt working. We have had a plugin for re-sort widget to alter wrong timings from past, that seems like an issue, so uninstall that too and still site is working, but calendars arent working. Any quick help would be highly appreciated, please. https://carnity.com/events/5-events/
November 29, 20231 yr Community Expert You'll want to check your FURLs and revert any custom FURLs that you have for calendar. This can be done in ACP -> System -> Advanced Configuration -> Friendly URLs.

November 29, 20231 yr Community Expert You'll want to check your FURLs and revert any custom FURLs that you have for calendar. This can be done in ACP -> System -> Advanced Configuration -> Friendly URLs. I merged your two topics. You'll want to check the solution quoted above.
November 29, 20231 yr Author Thanks Jim, for your quick support. Much appreciate it. I see tons of links there: First question: Which one to revert? Second question: how do I do that? Third: How did these many FURL appear as I have over 100's?
November 29, 20231 yr Community Expert You would want to revert any which have been customized and have /calendar in the FURL. On the right-hand side, there will be a revert button. Should look something like the circular arrow here below:
November 29, 20231 yr Author Thanks Jim, for saving the day. Is this new change of layout or my site is acting up? RSVP moved to right and Event details moved to left....!
November 29, 20231 yr Community Expert Yes, the RSVP box will be on the right now. Lots has changed when moving from Calendar to Events.
November 29, 20231 yr Author Im experiencing a couple of more issues after the upgrade. Please split this topic if we are supposed to make a new topic for every different kind of help. Problem 1: Fatal error: The task was called with PHP version 7.4.30 while PHP 8.0.0 is required. in /home/carnity/public_html/carnity.com/applications/core/interface/task/task.php on line 39 Problem 2: featured topic on sidebar looks very funny. Problem 3: Same with topics on sidebar Problem 4: I still have plenty of FURL which is not reverted, so should I revert all of them for settings, checkout, store, etc?

November 29, 20231 yr Community Expert Issue 1… your cron is calling the old v7 of PHP. Edit your cron to reflect the path noted in ACP’s task section. Issue 2/3 look like theme issues. You need to update/fix your third party theme. Try switching to a new/default theme to confirm. Otherwise it’s possible a 3rd party resource is interfering. Issue 4… if you don’t know why those URLs are customized and did not do them yourself, revert them. Issue 5… don’t see anything posted so don’t know what you’re meaning. 🙂
November 29, 20231 yr Community Expert Isnt Topic feed is standard widget of IPS? Im lost now. While the Topic Feed block is standard, your theme can manipulate it and how it looks so you would need to check on an unmodified theme.

November 29, 20231 yr Community Expert Please advise how to do it? You'll want to contact your hosting provider if you are unsure how to do that.
November 29, 20231 yr Author I was running on PHP 8 since over a year, and after this upgrade all of sudden this happening. Can someone please point me to right direction on what to look and where to change, I have access to WHM and SSH. Appreciate any help in resolving this cron issue.
November 29, 20231 yr Community Expert Your cron command is likely still pointing to use PHP 7 so you will need to change it to PHP 8. Likely you were on a version of Invision Community that still worked with 7 so you weren't getting this error. Checking your cron task is the first step. If you are unsure how to do this, please contact your hosting provider or hire a server administrator. If you need assistance in performing this, you can find third party providers at the list here: https://invisioncommunity.com/third-party/providers-directory/
November 29, 20231 yr Author Fatal error: The task was called with PHP version 7.4.30 while PHP 8.0.0 is required. in /home/carnity/public_html/carnity.com/applications/core/interface/task/task.php on line 39
November 29, 20231 yr Community Expert Fatal error: The task was called with PHP version 7.4.30 while PHP 8.0.0 is required. in /home/carnity/public_html/carnity.com/applications/core/interface/task/task.php on line 39 Yes, that is a PHP version check and you are not running PHP 8.
November 29, 20231 yr Author As per WHM, it shows I am on PHP 8. Are there any settings to check on site with the IPS backend?
November 29, 20231 yr Author I changed to inherit for no doubt and still getting same errors. Please help
November 29, 20231 yr Community Expert CRON uses a different version of PHP rather than what your Apache uses. In the ACP settings when you choose task method, you picked CRON. The path at some point changed. Copy the path it tells you and update your CRON settings. You're not changing your PHP version for your WEBSITE. You're changing the CRON to use the PHP8 instead of PHP7.
