Transactional emails with Mailchimp and ACP 5?
Correct. Once you configure it, every new member will be added to your MailChimp list specified.

The MailChimp integration is not for sending email but only for moving data of your subscribed users to your MailChimp list.

How can I do this? How can I set any custom page as the default page for when certain user groups lo
Default applications and pages would be for everyone. They cannot be split up by member group. To set a page as your homepage, you can set Pages as your default application in ACP -> System -> Applications, by clicking the star next to Pages. Then in ACP -> Pages -> Pages, make sure that the page is not in a folder then click the down arrow and click "Set page as default for folder". You will need to ensure that all member groups have access to the page.

How to create stock photos for use in 'insert a stock photo'
Sorry, I am a little confused what you mean. There is an integration with a provider for stock photos but not an area in the software you can add to those.

Best practice moving from 4.7 cloud account to V5 cloud account
You cannot. You will need to wait till after the version 5 upgrade to upgrade the third party items. You'll want to ask the author. Typically, you would just install the version 5 counterpart, and the application will handle anything needed.

Best practice moving from 4.7 cloud account to V5 cloud account
The upgrader will disable third party applications/plugins/themes/etc... at time of upgrade from version 4 to 5. With that said, it is a good time to manage your third party add-ons and remove those which the author may have vanished, you no longer need, or may not have any stored data so won't necessarily be of harm re-adding later.

2025: A year in review
- How to test an application or plugin on version 5
Your programmer would test any third party applications on their own local development install. As you're on Cloud, if you want to have a test/staging environment, you may wish to reach out to Sales for more info.- Create PDF Library Available To All
I've sent that on over in a message to you. Downloads is nice that you could theoretically upload multiple PDF documents to one downloads listing. Then in the listing, you can have screenshots of parts of the document so that users could read each before downloading. Could theoretically, also put a few excerpts in the description of the listing too so you don't lose out on any SEO. Yeah, as the saying goes "more than one way to skin a cat." Just need to find the one that works for you and your users.- Create PDF Library Available To All
As Marc mentioned, there is no native way to embed a PDF on a page. However, in Pages, you could theoretically, create your own Pages Database with a custom template via PHP/HTML (template code) which then does the HTML bit that you need and grabs any fields that you need from the Database record. You would have to create likely one record per whatever you're attempting to embed but that could be a way to get the display you want here. Of course, please note that you'd have to work with a developer to get the custom template you want if that is out of your wheelhouse as it is a customization and outside our scope of support. This is likely the limitation of the Adobe embed causing it to slow down rather than where you are embedding. On a related note, taking off my support cap and putting on my community admin cap, my personal community is an automotive one as well. I use Downloads to display owner's manuals, service manuals, etc... I organized categories by year and just dump the information in it for each model (community is only around 1 make). My members then can go in, look for their year (or search by model), see what is available for models of that year and download. This way the user is able to download the document and read it where they choose and not inconvenienced by an iframe/embed of a large PDF.- Gary's Observations re Website Building With Community
Are you actually using the contact form or just want it gone from the footer? If you're not using it, you can just disable from all groups in the ACP -> System -> Contact Us.- Database Comments
They would be searchable via the native search system. There wouldn't be anything outside of that, no.- Subscription expirations?
Either an administrator edited their package or they purchased that many renewals.- Gary's Observations re Website Building With Community
There isn't a widget for it but a contact form already exists in our software :) . It is located a {your-base-url}/contact/ (Managed in ACP -> System -> Contact). You could create a WYSIWYG block and then just write in what you want and then link to it if you are looking to drop it in as a block somewhere. All pages should appear in the Menu Manager, do you have an open support ticket on this or are you referring more towards Folder Navigation that you mentioned below? Some blocks can be side-by-side and others cannot. It depends on the width of where you're dropping it and other factors. There's probably some room for improvement here are better indicating when that is possible.- Picture Gallery Widget?
That is on any page as it is not page specific, that is the block you're seeing there.- Picture Gallery Widget?
