    Just to explain what was going on with the rule, it had to be moved up in the order of operations before later matches routed the request to index.php. The L directive said stop processing rules and just submit as is. The subsequent request with the folder removed then matched the call to index.php.

    Move it after RewriteEngine On
  3. Randy Calvert
    Try that rule without the first slash BUT right after the rewrite engine on directive. I think you’re hitting an order of operations issue.
  4. Randy Calvert
    Is your server using at least TLS1.2 to communicate with IPS? If not, the request will be denied.
  5. Randy Calvert
    Try something like: RewriteRule ^/forums/(.*)$ /$1 [L,NC,R=302] But that will only work if forums is not in the new path as well.

    There is no one click way to do this unfortunately.

    IPB at one point was developing a native app. But that project was stopped in factor of focusing on the PWA/mobile web version.

    They may have also created a custom button in the editor that lets them style it that way. ACP > Customization > Editor > Toolbars Click on Custom.

    Also... if you start making a post, but never submit it and then leave/come back to the post, it might have the content saved as well. (There's been a few times I've started a post that I never finished. Came back later and it's still waiting!)

    The domain from his screenshot is home2000.com. In doing a DNS lookup, it's hosted by Invision. So as noted earlier... there is no FTP access to the site files. If you want to upload something, you'll need to do so from within your ACP.
  11. Randy Calvert
    It’s not in the IPB software. It would be with cpanel or SSH. If you don’t know where to look, you would need to ask your hosting provider.

    This was fixed in 4.7.6 which is already released. https://invisioncommunity.com/release-notes/ Fixed an issue where Twitter Emoji no longer loads (The CDN providing the images shut down). Make sure you’re running the latest release. 🙂

    Step one is figuring out where the problem exists. If you remove cloudflare, does the problem exist? If so you need to look in CF. If not, it’s something either in your server or software. But at that point you’ve cut your list of possible issues in half.
  14. Randy Calvert
    Are you hosted by Invision? If so, you won’t be given IP addresses (numbers). You’ll either point your DNS to them or setup a CNAME value in your DNS. There is a form in the client area where you can give them your domain name and it will create a ticket for you. A staff member will reply to let you know what DNS change you need to make if your hosted by IPS. If you’re self hosted, your IP address would be provided by your hosting company.

    This sounds like a server issue. ImageMagick needs to be setup in a specific way to support webp. For example from cpanel’s docs: https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/4403506784919-How-to-enable-the-webp-image-format-for-use-with-ImageMagick-on-cPanel

    This person is hosted on IPS cloud. As a result, there is no access to Apache or Nginx. They would need to use some sort of marketplace add-on to achieve what they're wanting to do.

    Run the requirements checker when running PHP8 to make sure you’re not missing any required modules. (PHP has MANY different components. A required module may be missing in your PHP8 install.) if it meets all of the requirements and is not working you need to look into the Apache error logs for why. That’s something you will need to work with your host on.
  18. Randy Calvert
    You’re asking IPB to solve your hosting issues. Not a great use of resources. If your host does not offer backups, find one that does or use one a million systems that already exist. Why should the software focus on something that is literally commoditized already and that they can’t bring more value than what already exists.
  19. Randy Calvert
    Yes, in that case... it was most likely the user using the same password across multiple sites where another site had a data breach.
  20. Randy Calvert
    It's not stupid at all. What you would do is install the site in a different location (such as test.yourdomain.com). Create a different mySQL database, username, password... and upload all of the files into that location. When you run the installer, call test.yourdomain.com (or www.yourdomain.com/test). Enter the new blank database info for it. For the license key, just enter your existing key plus "-TESTINSTALL" at the end. Meaning if your key was 123456-789012345, you would enter 123456-789012345-TESTINSTALL as your key. See the following guide for details. Once it's installed, you have a new/vanilla IPB install. Just install the same 3rd party resources, themes, etc. You can use it to test things before doing it on your live site.
  21. Randy Calvert
    You might just setup a test board then. Use the same theme you have now, along with the same plugins, etc. Upgrade it first just for a sense of comfort before upgrading your live site. It will help you figure out if you're going to have problems before pulling the trigger. I would also suggest learning how to take a full backup RIGHT before you start an upgrade. That way if things go wrong, just restore and you're back in business with no loss of data.
  22. Randy Calvert
    It's always scary the first time. But like riding a bike... once you've done it, you become an old pro at it. 🙂 (Yes... I'm showing my age here apparently.) Also... if you keep up with upgrades going forward, it becomes MUUUUUUCH easier.
  23. Randy Calvert
    Personally I'm using CiC now so that I don't have to worry about it anymore. But for sites in AWS, I utilized its backup capabilities to backup both my web servers and database server. Prior to that, I utilized DirectAdmin as a control panel and used its built in daily backup system. I also have a Synology SAN at home, so I used it to make an offsite weekly backup using ActiveBackup to rsync the site once a week. I also had a cron script that exported a copy of the database on a weekly basis (overwriting the old version) that ran an hour before my ActiveBackup job ran so that I would have a recent export of the database as well. That gave me a backup local on the server that was done daily and a weekly backup that was stored off-site (at home).

    If you are upgrading from a version of IPB older than 4.7, when you upgraded to PHP8, it would have stopped working. That’s expected. Old versions of IPB don’t work on PHP8. You need to download the latest IPB files from the client area, upload them to your site and run the upgrader (domain.com/admin/upgrade) as noted earlier.
  25. Randy Calvert
    It’s not supported yet. Any issues you encounter while running it will result in support telling you to switch to 8.0/8.1.
