  1. I have placed a twitter feed on my site. It does not work. I do not know why. I have looked at the different things in the CP about how to get it to work but I do not understand any of it. Is there a tutorial or documentation (step by step) walk thru?? I have been making posts on twitter but they never come up in the block. It just keeps saying Nothing to see here -yet. Thank you for your help. Jeff
  2. I have a new question but I will start a new topic.. See you in the next topic.. Jeff
  3. Thank you Marc, I am getting there. I will say that I am not a fan of some of the coming changes. The removal of products and the sign in only with an email. But my site is up and I am going along and fixing all the images and re-loading all the files for my members. So I am busy staying out of your hair. Thank you Jeff
  4. I am going to have to wait on that one. It will take me way too long to figure out. I have so many other things to fix that are more important. Can you tell me where the registration question is. Currently if you register as a member for the site it asks you to answer a question. I found it earlier but I can not find it now. There is just so many pages of stuff I spend an hour just finding my way back to where I was before. Sorry for asking such silly questions but If I could find it I would not ask. Thank you. Jeff
  5. I have found my way to the registration question and it is working. At the moment when someone registers with the site it makes them a Member. I have no issue with this but I did have a group set up called the Registered Guest. I would prefer that a new member who has not purchased a membership in store be put into the "Registered Guest" group. I do not at this point know how to make that happen. But if I am unable to designate what group a new member hoes into here is my question. How do I take the people who are in the Registered Guest group and move them all over to the "Members" Group or, If I can designate the group that a new member registers on the site to go into the Registered Guest group then, How do I move the people in the Members Group over to the Registered Guest group? Golly I hope I explained that well enough. I await your advice or instructions. Thank you. Jeff
  6. Thank you Marc, My host reloaded the GMP thing and it seems to be working now! My next effort is to try to set up the site mail to go thru my mail server and I want to straighten out the member sign up situation. I have turned off the subscription thing since I have memberships as products in my store. Before I had a great question that the signup thing asked that would help separate the spammers from becoming a member. I want to try to get that back but I do not know where to go to set that up. I also have a group called the Registered Guest. When someone signs up to be a member on the site I would like to have them put into that group. That is another thing I need to try to figure out today. Thank you for your guidance and Tolerance of my ignorance. Jeff
  7. Well, A big Thunderstorm ruined my fishing. So I am back at the computer only to find that my site now looks like this. So it is getting worse. Should I tell my host to undo the GMP thing? I was getting errors all over the CP and now I can not even get into it. I tried to get to the support link but that failed too. WHY? Why does this stuff happen to me? I am trying to do everything I am told but it just makes things worse.
  8. Ok, I went into my FTP and deleted that htaccess thing that the admin CP instructed me to download and place in the API folder. I still can not log in with my primary browser but I was able to log in on another browser. So I have no idea whats up with that. I still can not get my new member registration to work the way I want. But I have had enough for today. Time to go out back and fish for a couple of hours and unwind. Good night
  9. This always seems to be a trend with me. I start the day happy that my HotAirBalloonist.com site is back up and working great. Then as the day goes on I find things that are not working and as the day goes on it gets worse and worse and I end the day just frustrated, confused and disappointed. Just tried to log in and I am getting the Sorry somethings not right error.
  10. Now I can not get back in. [[Template core/admin/global/globalTemplate is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]] I sure hope that is not true, I spent several hours getting the site to look the way it was and then I made three video tutorials from screen videos.
  11. Ok, I just got this message from my host. Hi Jeff, I have enabled the GMP module for PHP 8.1 on the HAB site. Let me know if that takes care of the error message you were getting. I also just did this. But when I hit continue nothing happens. But I did as asked, Downloaded, Uploaded to the api folder and named it htacess Just tried again to see if I could register as a new member. When I chose "No Thanks" I was earlier taken to a page were I could fill out my information including a great challange queston. But now when I hit "no thanks" I get. My host just said, Hi Jeff, I have enabled the GMP module for PHP 8.1 on the HAB site. Let me know if that takes care of the error message you were getting. So I am unsure what else to ask or tell him. Jeff
  12. I have not. I do not know what a GD is other than a nasty remark. I have sent an email to my host and am waiting for an answer. I created a new member earlier today and it worked well but it made them a Member. I had not seen that before and that was what prompted me to look into this stuff. When I signed up earlier today it took me to the membership screen. Just under the window with my memberships there is a link that says continue without purchasing. When you clicked on that it took you to a screen where you could fill in your name and email and it asked you a question What does LTA stand for. I vaguely remember setting that up but I liked it. Now the system fails and I get an error message.. The PHP has not been changed today so if it was working this morning then it must be something I have done today while trying to "FIX" things (and I use the term very lightly_ Jeff
  13. OK,, I have that turned off. Earlier today I made a new member and it took me to a form where it asked me to answer a question. Then I had to verify an email. Now I just tried to do that again and I am getting an error. How do I fix that?
  14. Where is that require purchase to register switch? I am unable to find my way back and when you type in Requite Purchase in the search box if finds nothing.
  15. Well poo, Now things are really messed up. I did what you said about turning off the subscriptions and requiring a purchase. Went to the store and realized that two of the membership products have the same image and it is hard to tell the difference and decided to edit one of them and got this. Then I tried to log in with one of my testing memberships and when i chose a membership package and tried to check out I got another error. So nothing is working now. ARGGGG Wonder why I have a tenancy to leave my site UN-upgraded for YEARS.. When I do it takes me weeks and weeks get things to work again. I do not even know what to ask Jeff OK, So I am now getting the error message on ALL my memberships in the store.
  16. LOL. Never said that. I am still trying to figure out how to make things work the way I want them to. Currently if someone joins the community they become a "Member" I do not know how to control what they become. I have also turned off the only subscription I had but I have no idea what happened to the 66 people that were in that group. I also have over 400 Registered guests on the site and would love to figure out how to send them a invoice for a paid membership on the site. So I have figured out very little, other than the fact I do not want the subscription thing. I do not understand it and I just do not want to spend the time to learn it. I did figure out why I could not set the permissions on the Members Group permissions page. There are primary categorizes that you can not post in, They hold sub categories that have topics. So you can not give permission to Write or read in a primary forum. Thank you for the help. Jeff
  17. Never mind, It has been so long I do not remember how this stuff works so I am just stumbling around. Disregard my rants. Understanding all this stuff was read difficult before my stroke, now trying to comprehend what the instructions are trying to explain is even harder. Even simple things for other are difficult for me to understand.
  18. OK, I turned off the subscriptions thing. Then I went to the front end and signed up. I clicked on the signup without purchasing and it took me to a registration form with a signup question. Apparently I set that up before. when I registered and validated the email it made me a member. So I went into the settings for the Member group but I am unable to change the settings. Not sure what is going on. Jeff
  19. ?? How? When they try to log in? Where do they click "Register"? I have membership groups. Each group has different privileges. The groups have different pricing and there are memberships in my store. That was how I did it before this subscription thing. I have memberships in the store so I don't need subscriptions at all but.. I had a free membership for a year called the Registered Guest. This allowed someone to see a little more of the site than just a visitor or guest. But I do not know how to set that back up. I believe that when the subscription thing came out it eliminated the ability to register for a membership in my store. That is what I want to get back to. The subscription thing messes up too many things.
  20. O M G this makes my head hurt. Users will still be charged but will not be moved back into their original group if they let their subscription expire. WHAT... Why would you charge them if they let their subscription expire? and then there is only one subscription plan so there is noting to move them too? Since there is only one subscription plan then THIS IS the original group. This is the kind of help stuff that just spins me around in my chair. WTH does this mean? Now I have no idea what to do. No options to move anyone. What happens to the 66 people who have signed up for the free subscription? And how do I get people to register as a guest on the site. I ahve memberships available in the store so I never needed the subscription thing. I think I set it up because I had no other way to get people to register.
  21. How do I stop this? I just created a new member. I gave him a group. Set up the email and when I try to log in as this new member it takes me to a page asking "Choose Subscription" I have one subscription and that is called the Registered Guest. Free for 1 year. That is the only subscription I have. Why is it forcing a new member that I have created to choose a subscription when I have already assigned them to a group? And what do I do with all those who have already signed up for the registered guest subscription? Cause cant just delete that..
  22. Never mind. I figured it out. There was an invoice created when I created the account. Dont know why it does that but... I marked it as paid and the account works now. Do I have to do that for everyone?
  23. For some reason (That I obviously do not understand) when I create a new member on my site it takes them straight to the "choose a subscription" page? WHY.. I have created a new member with a new name and an email address and assigned them to a group. Then when I try to log in as them or they log in the site takes them straight to the Choose a Subscription page. I know there is a setting somewhere among the 10,000 settings. Could someone tell me how to turn that off? Thank you! Jeff
  24. I am so sorry, I thought it was from the time I set them up to follow. NOW I UNDERSTAND. You are completely correct! I am sure that is it. I will turn that off. Thank you. I was not thinking of it that way. Jeff
