We're in the same boat, we're really struggling with the Invision Power structured data that is currently set up, after the Google updates last year. This is a priority for us and we are in talks with Marc about our issue as well. 

The biggest problems is:

There is no way to define which type of page content you are using. The pages application is diverse and intended for so many uses, yet the structured data only pulls through everything as an 'article' and the review schema isn't compatible with it. The best way to resolve this in my opinion would be to allow the adjustment of pages database templates to reflect the content they contain. In our case we have product reviews, local business directories (and user reviews on them), articles, news etc. But everything gets pulled through as type 'article'. If we were able to select a database type based on the schema type it would be extremely useful. We could set our gear templates to 'product' type and our skydiving centers to 'localbusiness'. 

Having all pages set to "article" essentially means that no one can make use of the highly valuable ratings structured data, as only the following page types support review data now:

We're really not liking the way that the theme installations are working in 4.5, given that it seems to neglect the ability to work on a theme in a development environment. 

It is essential for us to ensure that our themes (and CMS) are running properly after each update. Before doing anything on our live, we get everything sorted on our development install and then move it to our live. However, the changes in 4.5 and the way one adds a theme has made this a bit of a nightmare. One cannot use the admin panel's marketplace on a test install - so it becomes difficult to then do any kind of testing and customization when there is an update.

After chatting with the IPS support, we were told to reach out to the theme developers and ask for a theme installation file to be sent through. This isn't a great methodology when one then needs to contact the theme developers each update in the hopes that they check their DMs and send it through in a timely manner. 

We have custom code that regularly needs to be tweaked in accordance with updates, so we're not looking forward to go through this each time there is a new update.

There surely has to be a smoother way of ensuring that installing themes on a development environment isn't such a challenge. Surely most websites are working on a development environment when testing out new updates?!

** While this problem persists for those developing on a local environment. An online dev environment will work.

Definitely annoying - InvisionHQ indeed seems to have stopped supporting this plugin. Bug reports are not getting responded to (couple months now), all DMs are being ignored etc. 

Rather painful for those of us who have large classifieds systems running which brings in a large portion of site revenue.

I don't question that your plugin works, I'm just looking for insight as to why we may be having problems running it. It's definitely the Members Country plugin that we're referring to.


From your file documentation in the marketplace.
We can't find any area where a user can pick a country from the account settings as specified. We assumed that must be tied to a profile field, maybe it's not. Our newly registered test accounts seem to get the country correctly set, but existing users, only some get it when they log in.

EDIT: Overnight the issue seems to have resolved itself. We think this was probably due to our own server issues. Thanks for your assistance.

I got an extra field in Downloads, for example (this is a model, happens in any app), with option to search:

 
 
Then I got a file with this field filled:

 
 But when I search for something or here, I got nothing:

 
Also tried to search for:
here "something here" something here something+ here+  
How it should be?
Exactly like PROFILE FIELDS on Members search:

 
Those two (yelllow) fields are profile fields, so the user can search for them.
That doesn't happen on Extra Fields model. My Extra Field do not appear in the Advanced Search form:

No sign of the Extra Field there.
What's the point in allow the user to add a bunch of extra fields and do not retrieve records based on them?
I would like to request the addition of Extra Fields in the Advanced Search form, when the app uses it.
Thank you.
