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.
 

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.

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

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.

This is fixed in 4.7.18 Beta 2.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's called Topic Summary. You can enable it in ACP > Community > FORUMS > Settings > Forum Settings TAB. 👍

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.

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.

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.

This is fixed in 4.7.17 Beta 1. Marking as resolved.

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.

It's indeed the same issue.
I posted a fix here if you can't wait for IPS to fix it in the next (?) version:

No, there is no function like that in the suite. There might be a modification for it if you look around, or you might need a 3rd party Provider to make it for you.

The original image is used to rebuild all other images if you change the max or thumbnail sizes, and also if you add or remove a watermark.

The API currently allows only 3 options:
Create a new personal conversation Add a reply to an existing personal conversation Delete an existing personal conversation  
There is no way to list/retrieve a member's personal conversations right now. 🤷‍♂️

This is fixed in 4.7.16.

You also need to upload the files to the server before clicking Continue. Have you done that step?

They moved support from tickets to this forum, if a specific issue requires a more private discussion they'll create a ticket for you.
 
In this case, it's a known issue:
 
You can either ask your hosting to disable STRICT MODE for your MySQL server or wait for 4.7.16 (currently in beta) which contains a fix for this issue.

Are you using this SMF forum? Based on your reply, you didn't even know it was there, I guess not. You can ignore/remove it. Or, if there are some posts or other content, and you want to preserve/import it, you can use the converter application after upgrading to 4.7.
 
As for the steps to upgrade to 4.7, what you're doing won't work because you also need to change the PHP version as I mentioned before. You need to proceed with a manual upgrade. If you follow the instructions in the IPS guide I linked, you'll be okay and the data will be retained.
 
If you're still uncomfortable doing the manual upgrade yourself, there's also the option of hiring a 3rd party Provider to do the upgrade for you: https://invisioncommunity.com/third-party/providers-directory/
I'm also on that list if you want to send me a PM.

If you use the "optimized" option it's automatically generated. That's as long as you don't have a robots.txt file on the server itself. In that case, the request isn't rerouted and the static file is provided.
