Just to notice that until now we had only forum pages events and the new purscase is with also blogs and gallery Many thanks in advance
Marc Posted April 18 Posted April 18 You would need to contact the author of your theme in order to ask this question. Not knowing what changes you have in your themes means we are unable to provide a clear answer on that for you, unfortunately.

amd21 Posted April 20 Author Posted April 20 If a way to make a test site / forum and make there the test ?
Solution Jim M Posted April 20 Solution Posted April 20 You can make a test installation of your community for you and your staff to test by appending -TESTINSTALL to the end of your license key. You can read more about it here:
amd21 Posted April 21 Author Posted April 21 Many thaks , this should be the solution . Just two fast question . 1. Need to install a new fresh separate board with usl like domain/test/forum ?
Randy Calvert Posted April 21 Posted April 21 Yes, you want to make a completely separate installation. This means uploading a copy of the software files again and also using a different MySQL database so that you don’t risk impacting your live installation. I personally would suggest using a separate hostname like test.mydomain.com as well. That way if you need to delete/reinstall your test instance you won’t have issues with the license key saying it is already in use. amd21 1
amd21 Posted April 25 Author Posted April 25 is there a guide with instractions for create a new test board ?
Marc Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Creating a test site is the same as making any other site. The only difference is the key you use, as mentioned above amd21 1

Randy Calvert Posted April 30 Posted April 30 You need to download a full set of the IPB files and upload them to your site. Go back to you were with the applications listen and you’ll see at the bottom a button to install the ones you are missing.

You would upload the full file set to the location of your community on your server, overwriting what is there. Then go to ACP -> System -> Applications to install your missing applications. amd21 1
amd21 Posted May 1 Author Posted May 1 And where can i find alone and download the missing application for inatall them?
Randy Calvert Posted May 1 Posted May 1 You don’t download single apps. You download the full software package. When you download it, the system knows based on your license what files to include. Upload everything to your site. SeNioR- and amd21 2
amd21 Posted May 1 Author Posted May 1 (edited) I tryed to upload through manual upload the whole package as dowloaded from client area and show me error ( see file ) . What id did wrong and is possible to upload only the missing apps . See the files in zip . Edited May 1 by amd21
Gary Posted May 1 Posted May 1 Hi @amd21, you need to download the entire software package as mentioned above. Client Area -> Manage this purchase -> Download Invision Community From the screenshot you posted, it looks to be correct, but you need to make sure the other files and folders are also uploaded. When running the installation/update script, you will be able to select which applications you would like to install. If you have installed them all, you can still disable or uninstall them entirely in your AdminCP.

Marc Posted May 1 Posted May 1 It depends if you have the converters installed on your site. If you have never done a conversion, then no

If you have never done a conversion, then no As we changed ownership i dont know what did before . How could find out ? Also I suppose after folders need to upload also single php files . Right ? Edited May 1 by amd21
Marc Posted May 1 Posted May 1 Go to System>Site Features>Applications and see if converters are listed thee. You need to be uploading all files and folders. You should be merging with what you already have. If you are unsure on this, you should really get someone to assist you
