The Old Man

Thanks Marc. Using this site is currently frustrating because so many pages won’t display and it’s fiddly trying to backtrack to a working page and get out of the loops. Just FYI, I just spent half an hour or so on another IC5 site @opentype and didn’t experience a single issue, every forum and topic and pages article loaded perfectly but I realise it’s like comparing oranges and lemons.

Clearing the cache and browser history in Safari settings didn’t fix it. I just tried again. After signing in with the standard option not social media log-in etc, I got an email saying I was signed in from a new browser, that’s normal, but the page that loaded was an Invalid Client ID error and my name showed instead of the usual The Old Man. However after moving to another page, I was signed in okay and my name changed to The Old Man, but found the same pages as before resulted in endless loop errors again.

Okay all thanks anyway and for checking. My Safari is blocking lots more pages here due to a problem repeatedly occurring, here’s another example. Will try clearing my cache again. 🙂

Nope, still no joy for me with 2 different browsers. Sorry.

Just tried using Safari, I see a message saying the page is stuck in an endless loop. Other forum indexes load fine but I found it also happens with certain topics such as this one: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/482520-theme-editor-bug/?&do=getNewComment

Okay, thanks Marc.

Please could you improve the Calendar Event rich embeds, by showing the current year instead of the year it was created, or adding an option setting to hide/display the date format? I use the WYSIWYG Pages Blocks on a page created with Pages app and the rich embedded links that are auto generated show the original dates when the events were actually created. It’s kind of ugly and confusing to readers. Here’s an example, I have 12 recurring calendar events with monthly gardening tips. When embedded into a Pages block, by pasting a link to the actual calendar event, the original dates show twice in each single event embed and the dates are from 2021, some say 2019. It would be better to just show the name of the month or the current/future year since they are recurring. Many thanks!

I know Matt has hinted at a possible small app to move profile comments, fingers crossed, here’s why I’m hoping something comes along… On my main largest community, running for about 25 years and very quiet these days, I have status updates/comments on member profiles posted to and from beloved members of my community who have sadly since passed away. Although most of the site’s profile comments are probably lower value that would be missed far less, my members will be very upset about the loss of sentimental content from old friends no longer with us. I don’t want to upgrade to v5 unless there is some way to preserve them, besides manually copying and pasting somewhere like a special forum or into perhaps into Pages. I have less than 10 members marked as In Memorial group members, I’d really like to preserve this valued content in some way.

Thank you very much indeed Jim, much appreciated. Sorry for the delayed response, I didn’t get an email reply notification for some reason.

Hi, On one of my sites which is using the lastest version of IPS4 4.7.18, guests are seeing "Error Subscriptions are not available" instead of the usual options to Register/Sign-Up. In Commerce Settings -> Subscription Plans it says Enable on the button, so they are off. In Store Settings -> Purchase Settings the setting for Force users to make a purchase when registering? is off. On the Member Settings -> Log In and Registration -> Registration page the settings are on Recommended. I'm using Standard and Google options only. Any thoughts on what could be causing this? I checked with Support Tool which reports everything is okay. Many thanks!

Hi @Marc Stridgen Thanks, yes they are Custom Theme Settings (the software platform provides them) and I’m the author of the themes. I’m going to have remove them all which should fix the problem, but ideally I’m looking for some reassurance; why did it happen and how do I prevent it from happening again? No update has caused this previously before, so I’m assuming there’s something awry with the updater that is duplicating certain custom theme settings on child themes? Many thanks.

This seems limited to my child themes only for some reason. All parent themes were unaffected.

I just updated my site to 4.17.7 from the previous version and I noticed my themes were looking different. Upon closer inspection I found that the upgrader duplicated some but not all of my custom theme settings, but excluded the values they were actually set to, meaning that whatever the original setting was set to, the duplicate was overriding it with a default value, hence overriding the original version of the setting. Example: Super annoying.
