  1. Have you considered going to your account settings page and disable the Facebook connection and then enable again. Facebook is constantly changing things on their end and it's possible the stored connection details are problematic and you are getting the error message in response to that. It's also possible IPS might have to make changes on their side to reset their connection with Facebook.

    @beats23 There are a multitude of professional level Learning Management Systems created to run on the WordPress platform. Some professionally hosted and managed (with their own subscription plans) and some you can install on your own site. You might be able integrate one of these solutions with your IPS suite with WordPress to create an all-in-one solution. You should read the following thread about such an integration: Or you could simply provide a link to the LMS platform via the menu and members could create an account on that site and navigate back and forth from that site to your site. Not a seamless experience by any means but it might "just" work for your members.
  3. Check this thread out:
  4. Many of the marketplace apps have been updated to integrate into the Achievements app and utilize Webhooks. The Members Shop automates many tasks within its own ecosystem as well as integrating with some other third-party marketplace apps. There are a fair number of different things you can automate within this suite now, but it requires a great deal of research and time to understand what can and cannot be automated natively and the steps to accomplish it. Utilizing apps like Zapier and integromat simplify things "to a point" but you have to pay dearly for it. These third-party companies do expand the number of different services you can tap into to expand upon what the IPS Suite is capable of "out of the box". Automation as a whole requires a fairly high technical level to implement and not every site admin has the requisite skills to reach that level, at least in a timely fashion. If you can pair up with some technical folks to help you out, you might be able to implement some great things around automation.
  5. I can see everything on this page "as expected" on four different browsers.
  6. Check your ACP Integrations tab to find the setup for Zapier. They offer one free Zap to play with before charging. The other service I have no first hand knowledge on how it is setup.
  7. Zapier and Intregromat are two automation services that work closely with the IPS suite. I created my first Zapier Zap a few days ago. When a new member gets created Zapier sends my Slack Channel a notice that a new member has been created moments later.
  8. Also note that once IPS announces support for 8.1 anyone using third-party apps will have to be assured each and every app is fully 8.1 compliant. There will likely be a lag between official IPS support and every app getting updated (if needed). There are lots of great new features in 8.1 that some developers may want to take advantage of to take their apps to the next level. This upcoming PHP version will likely be a bumpy ride, but hopefully worth it in the long term.
  9. If you look at the permissions for "Store/My Details" menu item, you will see, I have only assigned "Administrators" access. I assigned each of these menu items access to the "Administrators" and "Moderators" group and clicked on the "Save Menu item" button and then clicked on the "Publish this menu" button to save the configuration for each of the following: Sometimes the setting sticks and sometimes it doesn't: When it doesn't it inherits the permissions assigned to "Store" which is only Administrators" not "Moderators". The "Payment Methods", "Paypal Subscriptions", "Account Credit" menu items also exabit the above behavior whereas the others don't. I've assigned these menu items a variety of different permissions and they don't consistently stick. Other sections of the menu have also reverted back to the permissions shown directly above. I did a random audit of my other three 4.6.12.1 sites and it appears that they are keeping their settings, it is only on the primary site that has all of the suite apps installed that have issues. I have a duplicate test environment that I updated to 4.7 Beta 3 and it appears the issue still exists in that build.
  10. If for some reason you want to delete an OAuth authorization it seems it can't actually be done. See below for illustration: If I click on "View Details": The following screen appears: If I click on the "X" button as shown the following screen appears: I click on "OK" and the following screen appears: The authorization "appears" to have been successfully deleted. View the member's Oauth Apps and it shows there: The "View Details" screen shows it back again: So, it appears deleting an OAuth authorization actually doesn't delete it. This behavior shows up in ver 4.6.12.1 and 4.7 Beta 3
  11. If you navigate to the "Dashboard" section of the marketplace you see a listing of all of the apps currently marked compatible with 4.7. But if you navigate to the "All Applications and Plugins" section it only shows one. Doesn't (NE) USE_DEVELOPMENT_BUILDS reminder, and (NE) Hide Content fall within the "All Applications and Plugins" designation? If so, why aren't they showing up?
  12. Marking a post here as a "solution" is great but without an informative subject title the value to the community is minimized. This topic: Is this right? has a solution. Which is great, but what exactly was "solved". If a staff member decides that an answer warrants the "Solution" designation, they should tweak the subject title (if needed) to reflect what exactly was solved. This will help provide more relevant "Similar Content" and make it easier for others to see problems and any marked solutions more readily when scrolling through the forums.
  13. @Elliot MarxEach self-hosted customer will utilize this software in completely different ways. Very few of us use the platform "as is", we tweak this, we tweak that, we install a multitude of marketplace or custom apps and then our customers (and bad actors) abuse our sites in every conceivable way. We also tend try to run our sites on hosting platforms that aren't "really" setup to accommodate this platform, or if so, not always well. The IPS programmers and testers do think outside of the box but its next to impossible to guess how every site will be configured and if there might any underlying problems with a site. So, they create upgrade scripts that will work well on "healthy" default installs. When an upgrade fails it is more likely than not to be attributable to something from the above paragraph. The more details you can provide IPS (and any customer who might lend a hand) about how you setup the IPS suite and your customers use it the more likely they might hit upon some workarounds to get your site up and running again and prepare you for upcoming upgrades. One wonders about the number of tables created and prefixes. What led to their creation in the first place? What has been your upgrade path over the last year or so? The more clues you can provide, the better chance one can deduce what the underlying problem(s) might be.
  14. Follow the flow above to report any issues you may encounter with your suite. An IPS Support person will drop by in the near future to provide you personalized support.
  15. Login as an Admin and click on the "Create" option, then select "Announcement":
  16. Check out the support forum for this app: You can ask the developer any questions you like about the app prior to purchase.
  17. @Lucas ThompsonThis marketplace app adds a lot of additional value to clubs making them all the more worthy of someone paying for them.
  18. Use the guide above to setup a promotion for new members. Use the "Profile Field Per User Group" app to grant access to the promoted group to edit the "About Me" field.
  19. You might consider utilizing this app:
  20. Submitting to this forum replaces email support. Stay tuned, an IPS staff member will assist you via this topic.
  21. Plugins and Apps can be found here: Downloads - Invision Community Help Guides can be found here: In addition to reading through the forums you can learn more about the platform by reading the company blogs: Invision Community Blog - Invision Community I would also recommend using the search function to see if any questions you may have in the future have already been answered by the IPS staff or other members. Sometimes you might find a thread that answers your question, and sometimes you won't, but it tends to be worth the effort overall. This suite is highly configurable, but alas not every single option has a tutorial on how to set it up. Many settings in one section of the ACP may impact other functionality so it's best not to make changes to the default settings without some thought as to the possible consequences. I would recommend setting up a test server to try out things and when you are confident that a new feature works for your environment you implement it on your live server. Also note that some features like "Achievements" and reactions are setup for you on install. These features may or may not work for your community using the default settings so you may have to tweak them to work for you. Often times admins think they know their community better than they actually do, as such, I would recommend working closely with your community to ensure the platform you develop works well for them.
