The offline pages seem to have problems with non-English characters. I’m using Safari if it matters. Here are two examples, one is for 4.x and one for 5.x. Same issue.

Putting Tags in the menu is a useful addition. 👍 However, it doesn’t work well for multilingual sites as tags might end up the only untranslated entries, as there is no choice of providing a translation. It just uses the tag as is. In addition, it can look awkward because we might want to use lowercase letters for the tag, but that looks out of place among the usually capitalized menu entries. Please consider either making the entry translatable in the menu editor, or simply have the menu use the “tag headline“ we can already set up and translate. That way, I can have a #news tag, but an English “News“ menu entry and a German “Neuigkeiten“ menu entry for example, not “news“ for every language.

You just drag it onto the page. It will try to create a TOC listing automatically and then you can edit the entries once you see them. Most of the times I tried it, the initial scan just doesn’t work. The loading icon just keeps spinning forever.

It really depends on how you used the previous system. It’s hard to recommend something if we don’t know your requirements. For support for logged in members, you can just set up a support forum with the option “can see other people’s post“ turned off. That pretty much works like a ticket system and mods and admin can deal with “tickets“ (i.e. topics). For guests wanting to send messages, again, it would depend on what your pain points would be. What does a basic email not offer that you need?

If I set repeat to 0, the ads don’t show at all (which is already a bit weird as don’t want to repeat anything). But I have to set at least “repeat 1“ to get anything. But if I have 3 ads with this setting (1/1) I get: -item -----Advert 1----- -item -----Advert 2----- -item -----Advert 3-----What I am looking or is: -item -----Advert 1----- -item -item -item -itemfor one page load and then for the another maybe: -item -----Advert 2----- -item -item -item -itemA rotation of multiple ads at one fixed slot.
-
The topic listing views shows ads with a background color and a nice padding: Look great. But within a topic, there is no padding and no background and worst of all: the ad is attached to the following post (which even has rounded corners and doesn’t connect well with the square image). Would be good to have some consistency here – or at least equal padding above and below the ad image.
-
But how do I get a an ad rotation at those two spots for multiple banners which are set up? When I tried that, the whole page got flooded with ads.
-
I used to have an ad rotation after the first post/topic. The new system now has these new options: But I don’t get the logic to have a rotation of multiple banners for one slot (as before). If I give my banners the same settings I get many banners at once on one page. If I turn the repetition off, nothing is showing at all. There must be some easy logic, but I don’t see it yet.

A few tweaks for Ehren et al: Top right: Padding missing, when the checkout has a renewal headline. Also: Stripe seems to force black credit card numbers through their CSS, which are hard to read with the dark mode. Maybe they also have a dark mode setting available or the IPS background should not be dark as well as a compromise.
-
It should already work like that. A bulk upload of hundreds of images should create one event in the activity feeds. Is there something special about the way you upload this or the activity feed you are talking about?
-
No. But yeah, seems to be off for some reason in the group settings.
-
The guest signup widget has a footer bar, which doesn’t work well with the combination “light mode“ + “footer use of the widget“. It probably should use a darker color. Different placements and the use with the dark mode work fine.

I found a pretty obscure bug. Not sure if it is worth investigating, but I describe it anyway. After the 5.x upgrade one Pages page with a database was showing blank. The linked database just wasn’t there when opening the page on the front end or the Page Editor. There was no way to rectify this, as there is no database widget anymore and the database and the page were already linked in the ACP. Eventually checking the MySQL table, I found that the linked page was actually set with the wrong ID, which explained the behaviour. And I am pretty confident that I know why it happened with just this specific database. In the past, I had created a new version of that database and then moved the old one to a new page URL and the new one to the old page URL that users and search engines were already using. (All using standard ACP functions of course) It seems that your new way of linking the page and the database picked up older page url entries without making sure the latest entry is being used. Maybe it’s worth checking those queries again, so this cannot happen. (I don’t need help with it for my community. I managed to fix it all on the database level.)

It looks like you use the compact view. The normal view has large profile images, at least for the forums.

That shouldn’t matter. The search engine will just follow the link and find all the data it needs about canonical URLs at the target. Theme templates can’t be edited. Pages templates can still be edited.
