Update:
Also topic notifications are being delayed, while long background processes are running.

Some notifications came 10 days after they were supposed to arrive. We had many complaints about no notifications.

So priority impacts functionality as it is now. 

Greetings from Bangkok!

Could you please move this to Feature Suggestion area?

I had to rebuild Achievements and other stuff that has taken a good 10 days now (huge forum).

The problems with the current functionality is that other background processes get completely stuck while big processes are running. I now have over 2,000 processes in wait state... (se attachment)

Any way to push/change so "small" background processes could run asynchronous?

I don't want it in Pages sidebar. I want it in the sidebar of the forum.

Step by step, please 🙏🏼

I created a content block in Pages called {block="trending-topics-2023".

How do I embed this block in the right hand sidebar in an easy way...    I am on IPS Cloud business plan.

Are you checking this on a default unaltered theme first of all?

That was the issue. Thanks, Marc!

It still doesn’t show up. Anything I need to do?

Ah, sorry I read that incorrectly. We do not have anything specific for ads.txt. However you could just create that in the pages application

Nathan beat me to it. He does that 😄 

Worked like a charm!

cheers!

Tried to join again, and got this 

Yes, tried to join previously but failed. Any chance you could reset that and I’ll join again?

That doesnt look to be our implementation there. You should be using the section in System>Search Engine Optimization>Crawl Management if you wish to use your own. Our advice would be to leave it as it is built into the software, of course

@Marc Stridgen I’m talking about ads.txt, not robots.txt

It should already be enabled, but to check, go to System>Smart Community>Features, and check the live community item is switched on

I can’t get in there. I have a Cloud Business plan. Upgrade to what?

Trying to connect to Community Hive for our IPS cloud hosted forum.

When trying to enable CH, it goes round in circles after clicking continue, I get these screens attached below. Result: Not able to enable

If it's REALLY SPAM or some offtopic stuff, I'm flagging it as no index.

If it's something helpful but outdated, I'm deleting it, but not without creating a redirect to the new helpful content!

It's IMO going to harm you a lot if you delete a topic that ranks very high for your relevant keywords, especially if you're also getting many visitors for it, either from the search engines, or other sites that link to it, so I'm always trying to create an useful redirect target for it.

How do you flag a topic as “no-index”?

This is IPS Cloud only feature.

 

I am Cloud customer (Business)

How do I enable the feature “ …. Is typing” on top of topics?

Can you have your own .htaccess in Invision Cloud?

I want to do some 301 redirects.

Or any better solution than .htaccess in Invision Cloud?

Coming from self hosted and just got converted to Invision Cloud, I wonder:

How have you guys solved your ads.txt file in the cloud service?

Tried to use the Community Enhancement Ads.txt  plugin but it can’t save the content…

Or is there a better solution?

I want it @Adriano Faria

Taking a look at your system there, I would advise in the first instance updating to the latest release. You are quite a few versions behind there

We are unable to update until end of year. Is there any dirty way to upgrade the rss-export routine only? Which .php file is it?

Happy to engage any of the freelance coders here to fix our RSS.

It will use the first suitable image. If you believe there is an issue, please provide a URL here, and we can certainly take a look for you to see why

Thanks, Marc!

Here is the RSS feed we are using: https://aseannow.com/rss/3-thailand-news.xml/

We are feeding forum topics via RSS that is imported into Wordpress.

So here is the problem. Every night, our WP portal looks like this: https://d.pr/free/i/XB7WNA

We don't get the article images in the RSS-feed, instead we get the logo of the source of the articles, which is at the bottom of the post. 

However, during the day, we get the correct images in the feed, like this: https://d.pr/free/i/xNGt3n

Also, see the attached image for the RSS feed to get an idea how it comes out wrong. 

Why would the OG:image change during the day? How can I resolve this? I go crazy!

Only the author of your theme can tell you what would be affected on upgrade of your theme, along with custom blocks. Ad blocks that are added using our standard ad system will work the same.

It would not generally go through every post, other than rebuilding the search index if needed (which does not need to be offline for and is done as a background task). As far as "How long" is concerned, it really depends on your service provider. 

Could you please elaborate on "not generally"? We have a very powerful AWS instance and database running the community, but can not risk a long downtime if it goes through asll posts and messages again.

Search index rebuilding is not an issue. 

Custom blocks is not an issue either.

Please advise.

@Marc Stridgen Do you believe Google Adsense JS codes and other added tags will be preserved in the upgrade?
