Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted February 1Feb 1 Hey all. New with Invision, looking for some information on a few things I wasn't able to resolve or find the answer to.About Dark / Light themesHow do I define themes as Dark/Light?Do I need two separate themes for this?The Easy Mode editor shows "dark area", "light area". Is this related to the dark/light theme? If not, what is the significance of it?How can a user change their preference between the light and dark themes?About GridsI am using the "Record feed" block to show a list of articles. How do I make these into a grid with images? I'm assuming with custom blocks, but the last posts on this that include code that I see in the forum are from about 10 years ago.The marketplace I see has been discontinued too. So what is the recommended way to do these things.About cacheSometimes as I edit the theme I get weird or old results styling I go to view the site. It looks like cache but deleting the cache from my browser or from the website (through the 'support' page) doesn't do anything. Would be glad for some context on what's happening here. Does my website just take time to update, being on the cloud?Thank you!Ilan

Is this a new site? If so, it may be worth awaiting thatOn 2/1/2025 at 11:43 AM, Ilan F said:How do I define themes as Dark/Light?Do I need two separate themes for this?The Easy Mode editor shows "dark area", "light area".

On version 5 you can do theme switching between light and dark, but not version 4. The light and dark areas, are what are light and dark areas on a default theme. A user would change theme from the theme menu at the bottom of the page on version 4.
