Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted August 5, 2024Aug 5 I migrated my old site (eventguyz.net) which is running the exact same version of Invision as the new site (mywiseguys.net). Most of it looks good BUT the attached files. Every page it says unknown instead of the file size. When you click on one of the files that say unknown you get Sorry! We could not locate the item you are trying to view. Get Support Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I confirmed all the files on the old site (uploads) are on the new site under uploads.

Hi Jim I did select full conversion and the conversion process says it was successful (no errors) Are all permissions correct on all attachments? Not sure how I would check that. I assumed since the migration brought the users over (which i see) that the permissions would of been grandfathered into the migration? Any guidance on how to check the permissions I'd be happy to check. Are you referring going on the folder where the files are stored and validate new site (mywiseguys.net/uploads) has the same permissions as old site (eventguyz.net/uploads)? They appear to be correct but I didn't go through everyone. ALSO since I was trying to figure this out without bugging anyone I figured I'd just copy the entire uploads directory from old site (eventguyz.net) and paste in new site (mywiseguys.net) thinking I was missing files. That didn't work either

August 5, 2024Aug 5 Author would you suggest I run the conversion again? Afraid of it creating duplicates
August 5, 2024Aug 5 Author would you suggest I run the conversion again? Afraid of it creating duplicates Nevermind, I tried to run it again and after I entered all the details and clicked to proceed with doing the migration again it quickly displayed a message that you already did this and kicked me out. 😞
August 5, 2024Aug 5 Author Just deleted the new site (mywiseguys.net) - reinstalled IPB - got rewrite and cron up and functional - started migration from eventguyz.net again and see if it works this time
