    That 3rd party resource has not been updated since IPB 4.4. The author has posted in other topics that he was not going to be around any more, so I would consider that plugin abandoned. But you can try to reach out to them. You’re just not going to be able to get help from IPS with this as they don’t provide support for custom applications. You would need to find a different resource or hire a developer to create similar functionality that is compatible with the most recent version of the IPB software.

    Take a look at: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21100787/centos-and-fontconfig-cannot-load-default-config-file

    In Google searching, this appears to be an issue that tends to occur on Ubuntu systems. It looks to be an OS level issue instead of an IPB issue… if you plug that error message into Google, you’ll see what I mean

    Try using recovery mode to disable all third party applications. Once disabled, you can login to the ACP and enable applications one by one to find your culprit.

    ACP > Members > Member Settings > Profiles > Profile Settings

    Unfortunately this is not possible.
  7. Randy Calvert
    Correct. But you can fix it via IPB my purchases area. 🙂 At least for the OP based on the screenshot they posted, that would be the best way to get their problem resolved.
  8. Randy Calvert
    I'm glad you were able to find the culprit! Just in case your members complain, there looks to be a couple of different resources in the marketplace that can add this functionality, so you can check for a different one that is compatible with PHP8.
  9. Randy Calvert
    You’re most welcome. Just remember to pop your cache if you run into problems running recovery mode multiple times. (It sometimes detects you still logged in. The recovery mode triggers on login. So totally closing browser or popping cache fixes it.)
  10. Randy Calvert
    OK. It’s most likely a third party resource causing problems. Let’s get them all disabled. In a nutshell, you’re going to add an extra value to your constants.php file or create a new one if it does not yet exist. Once you upload it, use a new browser (or pop your cache) to login to the ACP. You’ll get a message about resources being disabled. Once done, remove the change to the constants.php file (or delete it if it was new). That should hopefully get you back in. Once done, enable third party resources one by one till you find the culprit.

    I would check out Zapier to see if there are any integrations that work with a drop shipper you could work with. That might be the easiest/cheapest way. Otherwise there are a list of third party resource developers that you could hire to create a custom module for you. Check out: https://invisioncommunity.com/third-party/providers/ They would need to know some specifics such as exactly what drop shipper and what sort of API they have to integrate with.
  12. Randy Calvert
    OK. Let’s check first to make sure you have all of the required modules when running 8.1: Download and run that. If anything is in red, you know what you need to fix. Assuming it comes back clean, you can attempt to run the updater again. Just visit domain.com/admin/upgrade If it says there is nothing to update, the files never extracted properly. You can download them from your client area on this site, upload them, then run the updater that I noted above again. Let’s see if that gets you rolling in the right direction. If it does not work, we can use recovery mode to disable all your 3rd party resources as one of those may be interfering with things.
  13. Randy Calvert
    You might then want to reach out to the resource author for assistance to confirm the best way to preserve data.
  14. Randy Calvert
    It looks like PHP does not have the right permissions to access either tmp or the target destination. But an extraction error is not a problem in the software. The software is simply saying extract the file and your server is responding with “sorry bub, no can do”. 🙂 Make sure your applications folder is 777 and owned by the correct owner/group. Also if the application existed previously you may need to manually remove it if installing it via marketplace. Check the applications folder for ingoredtopics and if it’s there, you might move it up a folder or something for now.
  15. Randy Calvert
    This is a problem with permissions on your server. IPB can’t extract the tar ball to your board’s website folders. You should contact your hosting provider for assistance.
  16. Randy Calvert
    Are you on version 4.7.1? If so there is a bug in PHP causing this issue. A patch was released to fix it. See the following thread:
  17. Randy Calvert
    There are a number of third party resource providers that have created other payment gateways. You can find them in the IPS Marketplace here: https://invisioncommunity.com/files/category/172-commerce/?filter=4.7 @Kirill Gromov appears to have created several different ones, so you might reach out to him if there is a specific gateway you might like to hire him to create for you. He's one of many third party developers who create resources for the IPB platform... you can find more developers at: https://invisioncommunity.com/third-party/providers/
  18. Randy Calvert
    Awesome!! Glad you were able to get it fixed! 🙂
  19. Randy Calvert
    Use recovery mode. It will disable all of your 3rd party resources. Once disabled, you can remove the constants value and re-enable all of the other good resources.
  20. Randy Calvert
    It’s normal to have some small portion of traffic not be SSL. The very first request might be via HTTP that gets automatically kicked over to HTTPS. No worries there. You’ll never have a 100 percent cache hit rate. Some content is uncachable (base pages for logged in users for example) or the 15 min TTL is expired for guests. But images, style sheets and some JS are catchable for everyone. A single page load might have 100 objects on it. Like 90 of those objects might come from cache. Remember… this offloads most of your static content as well so your server does have to serve that and gives users better performance.
  21. Randy Calvert
    Pick "Respect Existing Headers".
  22. Randy Calvert
    4.7.4 will continue to require PHP8. They've updated the Beta 1 release notes to more clearly indicate PHP8 is required. 4.7.3 is the last release that will support PHP7.4. You're welcome to use that version if you like, but the system requirement of requiring PHP8 for 4.7.4 won't change.
  23. Randy Calvert
    Remember... there are 2 options... override and respect. You can set a manual cache time, but you have to do it in 1 hour increments. If you're respecting origin, IPB's cache control headers are set to 900 seconds. Meaning would be delayed NO MORE than 15 minutes. Here's the exact header values being passed: As you can see, the max-age value is 900 seconds. This means the LONGEST it would be delayed is 15 minutes... assuming someone posted something new just seconds after the original topic page was cached. Again... that's a worst case scenario. The more common case is a few minutes.
  24. Randy Calvert
    In this scenario, you're better off honestly without caching. 🙂 Think of it this way... even a site that shows 300 visitors online is 300 users over the last 30 minutes. That's an average of 10 users a minute on AVERAGE across your entire site. They're all not going to be sitting on that one page to be cached... they're viewing different topics, or sub forums, or looking at your other various pages. You're spending more server efforts putting a page into cache for that subsequent page view when 95% of the time, no one is ever going to get that same page within the next 29 seconds before it expires.
  25. Randy Calvert
    Cloudflare will only allow you to respect the cachability headers from origin or 1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hour, etc. But again if you’re setting 30 seconds, you’re not getting any value anyway honestly. Just forget about caching period because I can almost guarantee it’s not giving you value.
