teraßyte's post in How admin can see Anonymous user was marked as the answer
It's a moderator permission in ACP:
Here's a link to the guide in case you need it:

teraßyte's post in Community forum and admin pages are locked out was marked as the answer
Since you don't remember the password, I assume the upgrade hasn't started yet. If so, you should be able to reset the password from the front end of the site. The error in your second screenshot is a known issue that will be fixed once you upgrade to 4.7.19:
Just to clarify, version 4.7.19 is not out yet. IPS is working on it and it should be out soon.

teraßyte's post in Tech issue was marked as the answer
You can ignore it.
It's a bug with a task that runs once a month and is fixed for the upcoming 4.7.19 version:

teraßyte's post in Moving to new domain was marked as the answer
No, there is no way to avoid logging in again. Since the domain name changes, the old cookies won't work. There is no way around it.
The only way they may still work is if you move to a subdomain rather than a completely new domain.

teraßyte's post in Giphy Images Not Displayed. was marked as the answer
Is the setting to allow remote images enabled in your ACP? 🤔

teraßyte's post in Online users not always showing the current action was marked as the answer
They either don't trigger a location/action, or the user is in an area you can't view.
Not all locations show a text on the online list.

teraßyte's post in Modified files detected , can you check whats wrong? was marked as the answer
IPS updated the files but didn't release a minor/optional patch like they usually do, so you get that modified files error instead.
It has caused some confusion in the last few days. More about it in this other topic:

teraßyte's post in Report Form - No Report Types was marked as the answer
This happens because IPS shows the report types only if the automatic moderation setting is enabled.
Honestly, the choice doesn't make sense to me. Users should be able to select a report type even without automatic moderation.
However, the code is indeed working as intended so it's not a bug but feedback. I've seen plenty of people confused by this behavior. 🤷♂️

teraßyte's post in Automatically Follow Content Setting? was marked as the answer
You can setup the option as enabled by default in ACP. Any member who has not edited their notification setting for that specific option will have it automatically enabled after your change.

teraßyte's post in Site Require Member Sign in to Access was marked as the answer
You most likely disabled the group setting Can access site? for guests.
Edit the guest group in ACP > Members > MEMBERS > Groups > Guests to re-enable it.

teraßyte's post in How do I turn off ability to add files for Download ? was marked as the answer
A bit confused. Do you want to block those groups from adding new files or do you want to disable the downloads app for those groups?
If you want to block them from adding new files, deselect the UPLOAD FILES checkbox when editing a category permissions If you want to disable the app completely go to ACP > System > SITE FEATURES > Applications > Downloads and follow these steps: Click on the lock icon Put the app offline In the new settings that appear select which groups can still use the application Eventually add a custom message for those who can't access it (like purchasing a subscription, etc) Click the save button -
teraßyte's post in ON/OFF switch in forms savable after clicking? was marked as the answer
This. You need to add some Javascript that catches the state change of the button and save the change with an ajax request to the backend.

teraßyte's post in [BUG 4.7.17] Checking moderator permissions throws an "Undefined array key" error was marked as the answer
This is fixed in 4.7.18 Beta 2.

teraßyte's post in The Ignore function was marked as the answer
A will still see a message similar to "You are ignoring posts from this user. Click here to read it" while B will not know he's on the ignore list at all.
That said, even if the member is on the ignore list, A should still be able to see B's profile, search for them in the search page, etc.
The only option would be to login as them from ACP and go to their ignored users page.

teraßyte's post in Polyfill security risk was marked as the answer
I just ran a grep on the 4.7.17 files, but there are no references to that domain in any file.
If CloudFlare detected it on your site, it must be coming from another script. Or maybe a 3rd party modification you're using.

teraßyte's post in Admin Dashboard has broken icons was marked as the answer
Have you already tried clearing the system cache in ACP > Support?
If clearing the cache didn't work, have you translated language strings in ACP? Those FontAwesome icons are actually loaded from language strings. If you edited them, the translation broke the correct name.

teraßyte's post in Group Promotions Not Working was marked as the answer
Promotion rules are only checked when a member logs in. If a member is inactive and doesn't visit the forum anymore, the rule to move them will never be triggered.
I assume the mod to member 2 group is a similar rule. Inactive moderators are downgraded to normal members. Again, if the member doesn't visit the site the rule isn't triggered.

teraßyte's post in Is this a Cloud feature? was marked as the answer
It's called Topic Summary. You can enable it in ACP > Community > FORUMS > Settings > Forum Settings TAB. 👍

teraßyte's post in New Member Group & conf_global was marked as the answer
Yes, that's all normal. You have a couple of old values that aren't used anymore in 4.7 (banned_group & auth_group), but they won't cause any issues if you leave them there.

teraßyte's post in Problem with license authentication system using IPB web API was marked as the answer
The function that checks if the IP is banned or has made too many bad requests is the function _checkIpAddressIsAllowed() in system/Dispatcher/Api.php on lines 198-230.

teraßyte's post in Enable Debug in Production was marked as the answer
No. Don't enable IN_DEV on a production site. Everything will slow to a crawl since the cache data is rebuilt on each page load, etc.
If you really need it, make a test site using a copy of the live site's data (database + files), update conf_global with the test site details, clear the cache in ACP, upload the IN_DEV files, and finally enable the IN_DEV constant in the constants.php file.

teraßyte's post in Retrieving plugin? was marked as the answer
No. While you can download an application's folder from the server, plugins aren't the same. When plugins are installed, the setup folder is NOT saved on the server. And the original XML file is not available, either.
You'll need to rebuild the XML file from scratch based on the files on the server, plus rewrite from scratch the setup folder (if the plugin creates tables or adds columns).
It may take some time, but it can be done. I've done it several times for clients, especially recently after the marketplace closed.
