Ah! I didn't know where to find the hooks.php!
It turned out to be the Limited E-mail Content plug-in by @Fosters, which he says is no longer needed in 4.6, however, it seems to have an additional feature to strip HTML from the e-mail (prevents being flagged by SendGrid for spam links if a spammer gets in).   So I made the changes you instructed @Adriano Faria and it works fine now. 
 
Thanks to everyone who chipped in to help!  Very much appreciated. 
 
Look @Matt! I'm a PHP dev now! 🤣

I'll make a prediction. IPS 5.0 will be for cloud users only, whilst maintaining 4.x for us cheapskates. (for a bit maybe)

Yikes, it's only available to those paying more than $549 a month.
I feel so out of place on this site now.  It seems like just a couple of weeks ago the lowest plan included most everything at around $50 a month.  Now it includes less and went up to $89 a month.
Sadly, I suspect they will do away with us in the next couple of years.  Hopefully Xenforo continues to improve and doesn't go this route also.

DM me the plug-in name. If I get time tomorrow I can check it out and see if I can find the issue if it's a small plug-in. I bet it's something simple to solve.

I shut off all of my plug-ins and slowly turned them back on until the error returned.  Found out it was a plug-in that I really like but has been abandoned by its author.  It's unfortunate.... it's a small thing, but it was a nice feature. 

If you'd like, I use the Pages app to operate like wordpress, I'd be happy to help.

Edit: And I use @opentype's plug-ins to do it.

I didn't find anything from here.  I got ImageMagic installed on my server and I dialed up the compression a bit, but that's only for new files, so it does nothing for the gigs of old files I have. 

There is a term in software development about “eating your own dog food”.   If you wouldn’t use it, why would a customer? 
I’m not suggesting that IPS stock inventory of this stuff, which quite frankly I’d question if anyone would ever buy, I’m saying they should have written the API to link to Printify or whatever dropship store they’re using and actually done something useful for the software as a whole. 
 
No admin wants $16 IPS logo socks. A bunch of admins would be interested in dropship APIs I’m sure.

If this were the single instance of something like this.... you'd be right.  But this has been a mutli-decade long issue with IPS over a multitude of feature requests. 

It's been approximately 48,228 hours since the original request was made. Multiply that by, what..? Probably 4 developers and you've got 191,912 hours.
So yeah.. take out holidays and weekends, and they've only had 150,000ish hours to work on a function that already exists in two other sections of their code. 
You'll probably we waiting just as long, or longer, for your 10 features as well. 
It's the unfortunate reality of Invision Power and has been for years.... unless one of their enterprise customers wants it, it doesn't get done.  Us peasants here on the ground don't matter. 

WEBP, SVG
Joined solution option, bulk reaction for administration,  "topic posting time/choosing date and time for topic to be active ( sometimes we want to write something at night but prefer post is next day etc)
Integration with resizing engine..eg TinyPng etc....
Fully translatable Announcements... Im talking about the text input...who's with me!!??

 
More control over ads, ability to show adverts after post numbers, currently we can only select after the first post.

I'm not advocating that you keep us apprised of features like:  "A friendly reminder before posting" that you announced yesterday ahead of time.  This feature is entirely opt-in.  Those sites that want to take advantage of the new feature are free to do so on their schedule.
If an upcoming feature will require a fair amount of social engineering and configuration to use it to its fullest, more of a heads up would be helpful.  A feature that would fit this scenario well would be “Member Achievements”.
The various languages and third-party integrations you utilize are constantly being updated to stay compliant with new standards or to markedly improve their utility.
At various points in time, you may have to rewrite portions of the suite to extend the product's lifespan. Some things might remain unchanged, and some things might require a complete reset such as subscription renewals.  (Just using this for illustrative purposes).
That could be “consequential” for sites with little to no cash reserves to tide them over until all the subscription renewals could be reenabled for all the effected members get around to restarting their subscription.
I am advocating that you keep your customer base apprised of such occurrences with as much head's up time as you can.
If for example you must fundamentally rearchitect themes, we will be forced to use your provided default theme until such time as the theme creators revamp their offerings.
If the changes are too radical and time consuming many if not all the existing providers might exit the marketplace. 
It could take time to recruit replacements and a variety of compliant themes get released due to a high learning curve.
Some sites could readily adapt to the default theme, and some might not as their members are extremely attached to the look and feel of the site and various community value adds that are integrated into the theme.
You may have a multitude of different projects on your radar. I’m in no way advocating you to keep us apprised of all of them just, the “consequential” ones we will have to address in the next rolling six to twelve months. 

Good point.  The Enterprise clients are the highest yielding margin, so it makes sense to prioritize their work for profitability.  The use cases driving features are certainly going to be different, and those conversations could be happening in private with Enterprise clients (who are unlikely to join the community here and start posting with hobby site owners).  I have seen a few pop up here and there but mostly when it's a pretty disastrous scenario for them and they want to voice it openly (having reached their tolerance threshold).

I think the truth of the situation is that the clients on these forums aren't really the clients that Invision are developing their products for.
I suspect it's mostly (perhaps almost solely) the priorities of and feedback from enterprise clients which is driving their development and future planning. 
I'm sure it's part of the reason why there's a reasonable sub section of those on these forums who clearly feel undervalued right now (along with price hikes, changes to support, long lived bugs, and parts of the software suffering from a lack of attention). It's also the reason why some of the communication from Invision can come across as a bit tone deaf and rile people up at times.
I'm not criticising particularly, as far as I'm concerned it's just the way it is. It's just a case of matching expectations to reality in my mind.

Also to add the Block Submissions is a great example of had it been shared ahead of time, you'd have received a bunch of feedback that could have influenced the design.  Post initial release, in the event you receive feedback that drives high value and look to implement it, you are now in a likely higher cost of refactoring of the existing code base versus designing it to accommodate those aspects up front.  Maybe easy to overcome if the code base is hyper abstracted and extensible, but at least historically I've seen a lot of references to "that's not easy to do in the current code", which again could be mitigated by a balanced transparency driven feedback loop with clients.

Having guest posting or not, depending on your approval setup this particular means of going through posts is daunting and detrimental. There is quite a few ways to accumulate approval queue posts:
Guest posting that requires approval. User posting that requires approvals (for new members or members currently under surveillance) Forums that require approval before users post in it (the Sales forum on IPS used to use this feature). Topics that require approval before people can post in it, this is a special moderator feature for volatile subjects. Posts in Databases, gallery, calendar, new clubs etc. Each of these items can end up in the approval queue and can add up over time. While I don't have 50+ on average it doesn't change the fact that the queue is a bad admin experience from a UI perspective, time consuming and overall meh.
Sure. Flag a person as a spammer and be done with it but that doesn't resolve the issue overall on extremely popular sites. Additionally, using other methods (going directly to forums, databases etc with pending items, doesn't make for a good experience either. This should be an all in one easy place for us to view what is pending and be able to approve, delete or hide any necessary pending approval content.
I'd dare say it would be nice to have filters like:
All pending items from X user All pending items from X IP But I digress. This has been a pending suggestion for almost 2 years so at this point I'm sure its being ignored but it is a much needed change.

This thread was started 6 years ago and two of their other apps already had the feature at that time.... I think saying that they're ignoring the request is pretty fair. 

And an option to hide it for those that do not want to upgrade to the cloud service.
I can no long use the global search field on my mobile, not even using my mobile's desktop mode. Why? Because the "Upgrade to cloud" link is using up the space where the SEARCH should be

Which is why for some, leaving will be the only option, sadly.
Unfortunate. I'd better apply some masking tape to my screen then. 😄
You could at least alter it to "change" rather than "upgrade" (it is not) and not use such a glaring green, but that's marketing for you. In the end we all make decisions.
It seems a portent to a sad day. 😑

Yeah, agreed. No way I will ever move to the cloud.

Problem is I think IPS knows that. That's why they're slowly making it more taxing to be self hosting to push you over.
