Just wasted another hour, got one page to almost load in post. I used a lot of html in posts and this is disheartenting.

Thank you, I will look into that link @Square Wheels .

Hi,

What is the best way to upgrade to Invision 5?

On my admin panel, there is a message saying "it is coming" but I don't see any button to actually upgrade.

The orange message as a button saying "upgrade now" but when I click on it, it redirect toward to the Invision Community forum... so that doesn't help.

Does it require a complete different update process ?

If so, where are the specific instructions ?

This would be done via manual upgrade because its a major upgrade. So the process for you would be

• Backup your site entirely

• Upload a fresh set of files for v5 from your client area

• Run the upgrader from /admin/upgrade

thank you, my current problem is that I use a SSO wordpress plugin that doesn't seem compatible with V5.

Is there any solution for that ?

you would need to speak to the developer of your SSO solution for assistance with this. We are unable to assist with 3rd party products unfortunately.

I am also using a SSO and it is from Sylvester. Would he assist to make it compatible (or code a separate one) for v5?

Im not able to advise on what a 3rd party developer will do. You'd need to speak to that developer

Although I am currently using a third-party SSO, is there going to be any native type of integration with WP for example in version 5?

Only the same as what is in v4. So you can create a wordpress login method. But that will allow you only to login using your wordpress credentials. It wont automatically log you on, or manage groups etc.

Happens in Chrome browser.
Happens here on the forum, but also on forums with beta installed:

Did you ever figure out why it was crashing? It will load the site but as soon as I interact with anything like the notifications it crashes.

Yes chrome was a few versions behind, after updating it was not crashing anymore.

I was hoping you found something specific lol.

@Matt do you have any idea what could be causing the status_breakpoint crash on older chrome versions? V4 works perfectly fine but any site that uses V5 might load a frontpage, but then doing anything causes it to crash. I have to open up a different browser to get this and other sites to work and don't want to update to AI slop browsers to access my own site (or have people in corporate environments with locked down systems being blocked).

Does it still happen here? in releases since 5.0.14 we've fixed some issues with older Chrome versions (I tested back to 128). Ultimately, though, we'll keep moving with development and support for older versions will eventually be removed.

Yes. The page starts to load and then something crashes it. If I disable javascript the pages load the basic content and I can navigate pages but obvious the scripting for things like replying and skins is broken so it's not a useable thing. I've had zero issues with any other type of site, it's just something that happens on any Invision 5.x site.

@Mack_au Do you have some extensions installed? Try disabling them and test again, some extensions can cause those issues aswell.

I've tried all the usual methods and it still does it.

You're going to have to update your browser. Even something like Chrome 128 or 132 has much better modern support.

I cannot replicate any crashes with Chrome 120 though.

In my community there are several users using Windows 7 and had similiar problems like you. 🤦‍♂️
It is possible to use more modern versions of chrome for windows 7:

Of course it would be much better to update to supported OS.

Using windows 7 would certainly cause issues. Its nearly half a decade since that was supported (and this makes me feel old lol )
