    Awwwwwwww…. He’s so cute! I want one!

    I would: Update all third party resources. Switch to a default theme temporarily. Switch to whichever version of PHP you plan to use (8.0/8.1). Run the compatibility checker to confirm you have all of the required PHP modules installed. Download the latest version of IPB from the client area and upload them to your website. Run domain.com/admin/upgrade Switch back to your normal theme

    You need to contact whomever you pay to host your site. If you’re also using AWS, you’ll need to hire a system administrator to help you configure your instances properly.

    There is either a problem with your host’s firewall blocking the request or your host is not using at least TLS 1.2 to make connections to IPS. In either situation, it’s not a problem in the software. You’ll need to contact whomever you pay to host your website. If your host does not provide support, I would highly suggest finding a new hosting service.

    If you’re using Auto Ads, you can exclude a page from with the Google Adsense interface. https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/9262311?hl=en

    Third party resources can impact different areas in unexpected ways. For example I had a spam plugin installed that cased a similar problem. I saw another plugin that used birthdays in a special way that did something as well. You would not think those sorts of plugins would impact showing a member list, but it can and does from first hand experience.

    Invision does not have static IP addresses. They need to allow any traffic to/from remoteservices.invisionpower.com.

    Cookies can’t be stolen unless someone has direct access to that device. if you don’t want to keep sessions when logging in or if you’re using a shared device, you don’t check the “remember me” option when logging in. Also browsers support some sort of private browsing or “incognito“ mode. When you use it, all cookies and temporary files associated with the session are deleted when the browser window is closed. This is a browser setting, not an IPB one. https://www.computerworld.com/article/3356840/how-to-go-incognito-in-chrome-firefox-safari-and-edge.amp.html

    You don’t change this. That’s exactly how cookies work. They’re not associated with IP addresses, etc. That’s how cookies in general work across the internet… not something unique to the software. (If cookies were tied to IP, you could never use mobile devices.)

    The other situation I’ve seen where requests are blocked is if you are not using at least TLS version 1.2 when making requests. IPS will block older non-secure versions of SSL/TLS.
  11. Randy Calvert
    That’s a pretty low amount of traffic. Remember there are a lot of other tasks that need to run as well. Cron is really a much better way of ensuring regular tasks are run.
  12. Randy Calvert
    I would start by recreating a new default theme and using it. My guess is your “default” is not updated.
  13. Randy Calvert
    It communicates over SSL so it’s port 443.

    There is a similar thread where this was related to a theme being out of date. Check out:

    The stance I took personally was if you want a personalized experience such as being able to pick a theme, you should register an account. Otherwise you get the default theme only.

    Take a look at the following plugin. It will move a banned member to a specific member group which you could set to not be searchable/findable.
  17. Randy Calvert
    This is not possible.
  18. Randy Calvert
    It looks like you’re seeing the raw PHP code. This means your web server is not parsing it before serving the request. This would be something to ask your host about as IPB (the software) can’t force your server to parse PHP.
  19. Randy Calvert
    If you choose to have it displayed to members, you can’t have forums available ONLY while logged in. You would have to exclude those pages in your Adsense settings. So you could serve Adsense ads to members but for example you could not display the code within private member only areas or moderator forums. (Google adbot needs to be able to crawl it) I think I saw a plugin which will let you treat bots as a specific member group… this could work also as it could be set to allow Google adbot access to those private forums without registering. (Be careful with this as it could also mean content shows up in search results as well if you don’t fix robots.txt.)
  20. Randy Calvert
    Yes. You can! In your theme global template use something like: {{if \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->member_group_id === 4}} This content only shows to members in the "Administrators" group (ID 4 in our example) {{endif}} The link above will also give you logic if you want to simply check guest vs logged in.
  21. Randy Calvert
    That most likely means you’re being blocked by the spam filter or you have that IP or email on your black list. Check the spam logs to see if that is what is happening.

    There was a patch released a day or so ago that was causing an out of memory error. Hit your ACP support area and check if you have a patch available. If so, apply it and check.
  23. Randy Calvert
    I did something similar when I first moved to IPB. Export the database and move the complete board file structure to the new server. Basically you have your real site exported to the new different host and put IP on that same one. Now at that point you have both on the same hardware. 🙂

    Images, audio, etc all would not be on CIC. Only the WWW would be “hosted” by IPS. If those redirects were not part of a storage path change… What I would do since you mentioned cloudflare is just create a wildcard redirect. Check out step 5 on https://woorkup.com/free-url-forwarding/ In that case you’re only creating one rule per subdomain.
  25. Randy Calvert
    Are you doing redirects TO (destination) or FROM (source) subdomains? If you’re pointing TO a subdomain, it looks like it does not matter based on that plug-in’s screenshot example as it just gives you a spot to enter the destination as a free form field. (Such as Google.com) With that said, I’m not the developer or so you could ask them for clarification. Was just trying to give some ideas.
