    Who is the original author of your custom theme?  That would be your best bet.  
    Otherwise, you should start messaging theme developers:

    I would recommend @Brian A. or @ehren. or @steve00. I'm not as personally familiar with the others.

    Find the logo is up to you, there is no right or wrong size (unless making image like 3000px wide then would be too large), just look at the space you have on left side and make logo slightly smaller, if want it taller then make it taller (if look at themes on my website using theme changer you will see logo's are all different sizes)
    Favicon size can be found using google and recommend 16px x 16px

    steve00 reacted to Matt in rebuild content in order to use lazy load? WHY?   
    Why does this need to happen?
    -  To replace data attributes in the HTML source stored within posts.
    What exactly will happen if I rebuild my content?

    -  A background task chugs through your posts to replace the data attributes.
    What happens if I choose no?

    - New posts will lazy load, old ones will not.
    can I change my mind later if I choose yes? Can I change my mind if I choose no?

    - Yes, switch it off and then back on again.
    I have over 1 million image attachments. Should I be worried?

    Nope. Images are not touched or rebuilt in any way. Just the HTML markup in the database.

    Hey guys. So devs have had a couple of days at most of hands-on with the 4.4 code and IN_DEV, what we use to work, is a bit wonky.  
    So naturally IPS posts that 4.4 is good to go.  🤷‍♂️
    Please consider KS not compatible with 4.4 until you hear from me. If you upgrade to 4.4, you are on your own.
    Yes, this is insane.

    4.0 Released!
    I literally just recreated the plugin, that's it. You'll need to delete the one you have and install this one. It's actually called Store Stuff now and I pushed the version up to 4.0 to just "sync" it with what's already come and gone.

    As in the setting that allowed you to skip pinned topics or do you want only display pinned?
    No but I've logged a bug report and will have instructions included next version if this is still possible in IPB4.

    steve00 reacted to Marcher Technologies in PAGES - Confused by IPB & the staff   
    Please, please, please, please re-add the ability to export templates without a database. Lack of premade MP templates for the articles database, including feed block templates, is directly related to Pages requiring we export the entire database, which makes absolutely no sense for the database that is preinstalled, and doesn't actually work for it, and that's not even considering the point that block templates cannot be exported via any means.
    Those of us that can code cannot help those that cannot premade in this area with the way it is now. I cannot even do a custom locally with the way it is now, as there is no way to transfer such, which ends up with me working on a live site. Not cool. I was actually waiting for a topic such as this to be made. If somebody with a basic clue and can code like myself is struggling due to this, I can't imagine how painful this is for the layman, and the surprised look from staff was not expected... I put in a feedback topic a while ago begging for this to be restored, and have left it since then, but it is a very real need.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Pre-made templates are something we'd like to do. We'd also like to release our own work we've done here for examples to use. 
    You may find the improvements being made to Pages in a soon-ish release to be of more help to you. Finally, we have a number of tutorials done and on the way that are being reviewed internally. Hopefully all of these combined will maximize the benefit of the product to you. 
    Thank you again.

    Reasonable enough. 
    However; can we have the ability to edit our reviews? I noticed that once they're posted, you can't edit them. Say, in a hypothetical situation I leave a scathing review because it didn't work, there's no support despite it being advertised and so on. It's professional - not childish or insulting and only stating facts. The developer comes back reads the review and makes the corrections, and releases an update that fixes everything. I have tested the new version and it works - I'm happy. The developer still has a rather negative review that can't be changed. 
    Also some kind of version counter. So it says what version the review was for, or something? That is so if my review can be read by some else and they see it was for version 1.0.0 (for example) and see that in 1.0.1 the issues were addressed and therefore my review is clearly out of date.
    I did some reviews already; however I'm regretting in doing so because either the content wasn't good enough, or it's outdated; or other information has come to light. But I can't edit them, which is putting me off from writing reviews all together.

    steve00 reacted to Woodsman in Upgrade from IP. 3.4.x to IPS4.0 (updated)   
    Upgrade from IP. 3.4.x to IPS4.0
    I am bringing this back again seeing there are still many that want to know how to upgrade.
    This is an updated version from my original post where the upgrade is explained from start to finish.
    So you think you are ready to take the plunge and try a test install / upgrade from your current IP Board to the current IPS4.0 beta and later to the final release. Well we will see.
    {Comment} The following steps are with the assumption you have already created a test install of your current board and made all the preparations leaving your current live board intact.
    If Not then see the following article. Creating a Duplicate Local Test board from you Live Board. at the bottom of this article.
    Step One.

    1st, Download and run Get Ready For IPS 4.0 1.0.3 to test your current install to see if it is in fact ready. you can get your copy here. http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/7046-get-ready-for-ips-40/
    OK! all is green and good to go then skip the next step and continue on.
    But you are showing errors that need to be fixed. OK it's not the end of the world so there is no need to find a cliff or skyscraper to jump from. Download and run IPS UTF8 Database Converter 1.1.13 you can get it here. http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/6823-ips-utf8-database-converter/
    Run the converter and let it do its thing, it will take a while. When this is finished re run Get Ready For IPS 4.0 1.0.3 to make sure all previous errors are fixed. If so we can go forward if not now you can find that cliff or skyscraper. NO Just Kidding!!! But you may want contact support with any errors.

    Step Two.

    1st, Make a backup of your Database call it whatever you like as long as you know where to go if the need comes up.

    2nd, Here is a trick I use on my local due to a few corrupt downloads that failed causing me to start a test installs from scratch.

    1, Create a _347 folder in your root directory and move all your files into it. Another backup you say? Yep! To go along with the above database backup should something go south on you.

    2, Providing you have IP.Downloads copy these files back to your Forum Root Directory from the _347folder.
    Copy the following folders, downloads, public, screenshots and uploads along with your conf_global.php file. Otherwise only public, uploads and conf_ global.php will due.

    3, Copy all the files from the IPS4.0 zip file you downloaded from your clients center to your new test install directory. From your browser go to your test install site http://example.com/admin/upgrade/ and begin the upgrade process.......... Go to Site!
    If the upgrader asks for your license key, add it but remember to use -TESTINSTALL immediately after the license key. 1234567890-12345-123-12345-1234567890-TESTINSTALL
     
     Creating a Duplicate Local Test board from you Live Board.
    Setting up a test board for upgrade is fairly easy but time consuming.
    In this section of this Tutorial is a guide for those that have never attempted to create a backup test site of the original live site for upgrade compatibility or other testing purposes.
    For those of you creating a local test server on your own computer using server software like Wamp, Xampp or Mamp. Follow these easy steps.
    Make a duplicate copy of your forum site by downloading it via FTP Forum Root to a location on your PC. Now log into your cpanel, PhpMyAdmin and Export the compete associated database.
    In this example we will be using the Wamp environment.
    Copy your forum site files into your Wamp - www directory example (C:\wamp\www\test-forum) Go into Wamp via your browser PhpMyAdmin, create a new database and Import the newly saved database into it.
    In your forum directory C:\wamp\www\test-forum find  your conf_global.php.
    In your conf_global.php settings you need to change these settings.
    $INFO['sql_database'] = 'original';   to
    $INFO['sql_database'] = 'new_db_name';   and
    $INFO['board_url'] = 'http://example.com/forum';   to
    $INFO['board_url'] = 'http://example.com/test-forum';
    And the same with the sql user if needed.
    $INFO['sql_user']       = 'tester';
    Now go to the ACP System Settings - General Configuration make all pertinent changes to Path to 'upload' directory and Upload URL. You can find the hint to these new URL's below the text boxes for example:  "IP.Board has detected your uploads path as: D:/wamp/www/test-forum/uploads"  and  IP.Board has detected your uploads url as:
    These changes will also need to be made in IP.Blog Settings and IP.Gallery if you have them.
    Go to System - Server Environment - Settings: Server Environment click on Update Settings. This will Sync your new server location settings in your new database.
    Next go to Look & Feel - Disable or remove all 3rd party skins.
    Go to Template Tools in the left side panel  check all boxes under - Rebuild Master Skin Data click the Rebuild button. When this is finished click Recache Skin Sets after. 
    Go back to System and Cache Management. Click on Rebuild Global Chaches Cache, Rebuild FURL Cache and then Recache ALL. Though some will say this is not necessary but trust me on this. Your IPS 4 upgrade will love you for doing these.
    Next back under System - Manage Applications & Modules - Disable all 3rd party Apps then click Recache Apps & Modules.
     Next step Manage Hooks - Disable all 3rd party hooks then click Reimport Application Hooks...
    Now lastly before doing the actual upgrade go back to your testboard front end via your browser and test to see if all is working correctly. Making sure it is an exact mirror to your live board. 
    ***NOTE***
    As you make these changes in the ACP and save each they are also saved in the new Database.
     
    (After creating a 3.4.7 test install and all is working....)
    ​Create a _347 backup folder move all the existing files into it. Thus creating a complete backup of the board you are working with. Do the same with your database by backing it up to another name like "new347-backup". You can do this in PhpMyAdmin.
     If you have IP.Downloads, you will want to copy (duplicate) the following folders from your _347 backup directory you just made back to your forum root. downloads, public, screenshots, uploads and conf_global.php.
     If you do not have IP.Downloads than all you need to copy back to the root is your public and uploads folders with the conf_global.php.
     So if your new forum root directory for the test upgrade is named "my-testboard" or "my-testboard.com" the above files need to be copied there.
    After this has been completed copy your latest IPS4 beta files you downloaded from the client center to the forum root "my-testboard" or "my-testboard.com" with the other files you just put  there. Start the upgrade if it asks for your license key, add it but remember to use -TESTINSTALL immediately after the license key. 1234567890-12345-123-12345-1234567890-TESTINSTALL.
