A 500 error indicates some sort of server error. Have you checked your server’s Apache/PHP error logs?

Not necessarily. Many/most are on shared hosting environments OR on VPS packages where they don’t do this themselves. In addition managing these types of services is very different than managing a LAMP stack, especially when you would have to configure security groups at AWS and firewalls on the LAMP servers. Again these are VERY different things. Setting up these services are much more involved and complex than S3. Even as simple as S3 is… people struggle to set it up and integrate it. There are several people who just recently were complaining about not being able to set it up. IPS is not here to teach people how to setup hosting environments or how to manage them. So it does not make sense for them to try to teach someone how manage this. The problem is if they release it, they have to support it also. Since they don’t support the hosting setup, that makes this very difficult.

Sometimes it might take a day, sometimes it might take a week. It depends on where the last review was done versus when submitted. It also matters on what other activities are going on. IPS does not have a team dedicated exclusively to marketplace. So yes, there are times when it may be faster than others. 🙂

Sorry wrong. Sure you could do that for YOUR own instance but you would need to configure it (and know how) what settings need applied etc. You’re making the assumption that people know how to use these services, how to configure it, and have yet another service to manually manage and not be able to guess/predict costs for. It is not just a simple matter of copy paste an IAM credential.

If you think that’s long, you don’t want to see how long other app stores take for approval. 😉

The pages need to be accessible to guests for Adsense to crawl them. If those forums are available to members only, Google won’t be able to access them.

This is not possible to do via an ACP setting. However you might be able to do it by manually editing your theme. This is not directly supported by IPS, so you might want to ask in the Theme forum if someone can give advice on how to do it.

It sounds like you created a custom link called “What’s New”. That’s not a default item in the navigation. Make sure you have permissions for the item set properly. Also remember you can create two “What’s New”. Only one visible to members and one visible only to guests.

Correct. Guests can’t view that stream. Instead they see the activity stream which shows all recent activity. (There is no concept of tracking status for guests.) https://ohmo.co/discover/ I just confirmed it works as a guest and that’s what I see while not logged in.

Try clearing the system cache. If that does not work, try switching to a default theme to test if it still happens. (If it’s not happening with the default theme, your problem would be with the theme itself.)

Ahhh… gotcha. I’ve never tried to modify my elasticsearch via environment variables before, so I’m not sure if it possible. I just remember running into that same message the first time I set it up and had to modify the main config file to resolve it. 🙂 As a stupid idea… Google the elasticsearch.yml variables and see if you can just paste those into the env file. It’s possible they’ll load them properly!

The “L” flag was important part as there were multiple match options with the default IPB rules and this redirect rule. Adding the “L” flag tells Apache that if the rule matches to not process other directives since this rule should happen even if IPB’s rules might also match.

Try something like: Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^board/(.*)$ /$1 [L,NC,R] You might just need the last line if using the default IPB htaccess. This entry should be in the site document root.

Take a look at:

All screen grabs that could potentially identify your community are already removed. Literally the only one left is the first one left is the one that says there was an error. Not sure what else you want them to remove as no other images show for me.

Given that Yandex is only between 0.5 and 1 percent of the searches done online… I’m not sure how much of a priority this would be for consideration. Honestly you would most likely be better served having a custom plugin created to support this.

Look in /usr/share/elasticsearch/config I believe it will be in the elasticsearch.yml file.

No. It could be the index now server rate limiting you, it could be a transient problem between requests, etc. Literally that error says IPB sent a request to IndexNow and did not hear back in 10 seconds. There is nothing else that can be done. It literally CANT be a code problem unless that just change it to wait longer (say 30 seconds). But if it does not finish after waiting 10 sec is it going to really request if you wait longer?

One thing to consider is that IPS has a large number of enterprise customers who are based in the US and the UK. These are the customers that have more lawyers on staff than IPS as a company has employees. These customers know and understand the laws most likely better than all of us here combined. Haha If there was a true legal risk/liability, they would be all over getting it mitigated. 🙂 While some folks here seem to think it’s an “us vs them” for enterprise customers vs self hosted smaller groups…. There are benefits to having both types! It’s like having a big brother who has been there and done that…. who can help show you how to shave the first time when needed. 😆

You would need some sort of custom third party development work to facilitate this. There is not any sort of native integration with Laravel today.

This is not supported by the software. So it’s not currently possible. You can look at having a 3rd party resource developer create this functions for you or you can post a request in the feature request forum for it to be considered for a later release.

This would be nice to be disable! It’s actually on my list of things to have done as a custom mod. (I’m saving a “wish list” for @Adriano Faria)

In order to document findings from the development team so that others can learn as well…. This is occurring because we don’t collect address information from our users. (We don’t require it for tax purposes, we only accept payments from full site members, AND we prefer not to store sensitive PII data such as name, address, phone number, etc). The dev is going to propose a change where that requirement could be skipped if there is no tax setup defined/needed.

You don’t unless you have a way to monitor outbound traffic for your server. “It just works”. There is no reporting and no dashboards for it.

ACP > System > Site Features > Integrations Choose IndexNow. It's either on or off. Once enabled, there is nothing else to configure. The rest happens automatically in the background.
