You can create a new theme with whatever colors you want and let that user select it.

Have you confirmed your server has the mod_rewrite module enabled and working correctly? It may need enabled for your specific hostname as well as that can be turned on/off at the vhost level. The screenshot looks IPS is checking for your mod_rewrite and not seeing it properly so telling you to fix it first.

No, it's not possible. IPS is not hosting your media for them to be able to scan. As noted elsewhere in this topic, you can look at leveraging Cloudflare to do something similar on your own if you wish. It's not part of the AI scanning. It's done for all cloud hosted accounts automatically.

That's from my v5 self-hosted instance. Search "htaccess" in the search bar and it's the only result. (It shows up as "[System] Friendly URLs".) This is the same as I remember from v4. I don't have a v4 anymore, but the instructions and the file should be there.

That is most likely your problem. Things change between releases and if you are not updating your theme, it could see minor issues like this.

It looks like you have not setup the .htaccess. In the ACP, search "friendly URL" or "htaccess". Enable the "Rewrite URLs" options and be sure you upload the .htaccess file it gives you.

Start by turning off Cloudflare. When you have multiple changes, you need to eliminate possibilities. Cloudflare’s bot protection could be causing this problem very easily. If turning CF off entirely works, then start looking first at the bot stuff as the first reason.

I don't think you can disable that section only. You can disable access to the profiles itself, but not to the activity section of the profile. You could look at using CSS to remove the button itself however.

YOURDOMAIN.COM/admin/?app=core&module=applications&controller=applications&root=core Expand the System module. Find the "Content Discovery" module, and click the lock icon for it to edit permissions. Remove guest access and click save. That should disable the activity stream for guests. @Jim M's mojo is fast today. :D The force is strong with that one!

Take a look at: You can also look at the following regarding running a test instance...

If you are self hosted, IPS is not going to be able to help you with configuring your backups. That’s either your or your hosting provider’s responsibility. IPS simply provides the software and what you do with it beyond that is up to you unless you’re using their cloud platform in which case they would own managing backups. In general terms, you will need to backup the MySQL database as well as all of the files associated with your website. What software is used to backup your website or how to configure it is something no one here can really help with as it would depend on your server, its configuration, etc. If your hosting provider does not provide configuration assistance, you may need to hire a sysadmin to help manage this for you.

If it was crawled very heavily by bots/crawlers, it would have seen a sudden increase in page views.

I did this with a community that had around 3.5M posts and typically 300-500 concurrently active users. It was a painless process. The team works with you to schedule everything. On the day of the transfer, you turn your site offline (to not lose content), export the database and provide it along with a copy of your website files to IPS. They’ll give you a space to upload it all. They’ll import everything and set it up on a temporary URL for you to test. Once you’re happy, you’ll change DNS and traffic starts going over to the new location. Make sure to give IPS any other DNS records needed as well!

Major version changes mean starting over a lot of things. If the effort to refactor a feature is too much or there is not enough value, it might not get included. Version 4 is over 10 years old. It can’t be that important given there is no one asking for it until literally more than a decade later.
