A feature in the admin cp somewhere that lists all active widget blocks giving each a drop-down forums selector to check off which sub-forums the block would be visible on, would be very convenient.  It would allow for completely custom block and page layouts per sub-forum, increasing the software's layout versatility substantially with a relatively small addition.

It’s an account setting now, not a session thing anymore.

if you were using cloudflare before, try clearing cloudflare cache,
i believe there is a constant file setting to set your default site url, i remember looking at db there are secure and non secure url variables,
you should also provide a link to where problem occur to better assist

have you done the usual cache clear,
and updated site url to load assets in https? browser would block script if site is loaded in https but asset is not

Scheduling for a single event ahead of time is useful – but not very.

It would be great to be able to schedule an event regularly – every day or every week, twice a week, once a fortnight – et cetera.

That would be hugely useful

Can you get that member to register again at your forum? If you can, you can reassign all his or her previous posts by running a few sql queries. If you can not solve this till tomorrow, I will post the sql queries here after I run a few tests at my developement forum to make sure that it works fine.

@Paul E.  Yea either would accomplish what I was hoping for.

@AlexWebsites I pass the RSS to IFTTT which then outs it to Facebook and Twitter.  I used to use it for Google+ before it shut down.  For Discord I use Discordrss bot.   Hope this helps.

One major pain tho is that Cloudflare messes up your RSS feed.  So ever since I started using Cloudflare I've been unable to automate my social media presence, which sucks.  If anyone knows how to work around that, a solution would be greatly appreciated, albeit a little off topic.

  

Might be a nice (configuration option?) to have <author>communityemail@example.com (Display Name)</author>
Or, even better, extend it with a namespace declaration that allows for something like a Contributor field that doesn't include an e-mail address, only display name.

The 'author' element in RSS2 is an email address. For obvious privacy reasons we cannot include an email address of who created a post.
https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html#ltauthorgtSubelementOfLtitemgt

Currently only the following values are outputted through the RSS feed:
"title"
"description"
"link"
"date"

I think "author" should be added to that information.
That way, for example if you're using RSS to output to Facebook or Discord or Twitter, and you're customizing the outgoing feed, you can include the author of the post.  It looks a little weird when you just see some random post and have no idea who it's from, just appears to be from the site itself. 

In my local development environment, I keep getting that good ol "background tasks are not running" warning. 

The go-to fix seems to be the cron job, which I'm capable of setting up, but the reason I haven't is that doing so requires giving terminal lots of permissions that I don't want to give it, out of general simplistic security concerns.  Not that it's pivotal or anything but part of me thinks it would be nice to have the local dev build run as closely to the production environment as possible.

So I've been tinkering with workarounds.  First I wrote an Applescript that just pops open the local site in a minimized browser window and keeps refreshing it every 3 seconds over and over for some amount of time that you can choose when the script starts.  I thought that would simulate traffic effectively enough, but it didn't seem to get rid of the warning message.

So next I tried going to the AdminCP > Advanced Settings > Tasks field and clicked on "Use cron" which presents you with 2 cron tasks that you're supposed to set to run once a minute.  So I tried making another Applescript that just ran those once a minute through the terminal in the background.  No dice.

Next I went back to the AdminCP > Advanced Settings > Tasks field and clicked on "Use web service".  It gives you a URL that you're supposed to have Easycron or some comparable site send out every minute.  Instead I just used another Applescript and had it pass that URL to a browser window once a minute. Still no go...

Does anyone know how to properly simulate traffic, or a cron job, or an Easycron url?
Are any of the things I'm doing supposed to work, and maybe just aren't because of an overlooked bug or misstep or something?
 
 

Note that it can take some time for the message to go away once you switch to cron (or your traffic increases). It tells you this in the message, and suggests ignoring the message for a day once you've addressed the issue.
In other words, when you set up the cron (or a traffic simulator) the message doesn't just immediately go away on its own.

Are you referring to the auto-schedule feature?
It is worth mentioning that you can currently custom schedule these on each promoted content piece (seen below). 

Does not happen here, the errors has anything related to this plugin. 
if you have created custom blocks then please delete it or check your codes in the custom block. 
 
Hello,
Yes you can paste javascript in the custom blocks. 🙂
 
This plugin uses the default ips widget features you cant have widgets in specific topics or topics list i believe

It's currently not possible auto-embed a YouTube live channel into a post.  The editor returns the error: Could not embed because there is no video at this location. 
Embedding the current live stream is possible, but the url changes after each stream.  Making all possible embedding of a live stream impermanent.  This can amount to quite the pain depending on how often the live stream is used.

The current method for permanently embedding a YouTube live channel, rather than a specific video (the url of which will change after each live stream) is described neatly here:
http://www.codeprocedures.com/question/how-to-embed-youtube-live-chat-with-url-permanent/
As is some suggested php to get the current live chat (the url of which also changes with each live stream, also making it an impermanent embed only).

The ability to embed a YouTube live channel would be useful for anything from gaming to conference calling.  
And not having to change the link after each stream in order to do so would be wonderful, but having a permanently embeddable live chat would be the piece de resistance 

but if you let them do this it will or might have this
When enabled, users in this group will be able to post raw HTML (in areas of your site where it is also enabled). Allowing users to post HTML is extremely dangerous and malicious users can use the feature to damage your site. It is strongly recommended that this feature is not enabled at all, or only for trusted staff groups.
i made this for my forums
MediaTag its from the old version of ipb 3.49

If the iFrames need to be only used by admins, then the mentioned method of turning on HTML in posts and allowing the iFrame base is the way to go. 
If the regular members also should be able to add iFrames, then in addition to allowing the iFrame base, you can create a new editor button for the specific external service. You can then safely let users paste a URL or a media ID and the button creates the embedding HTML snippet. 

ACP -> Customization -> (Editor) Settings -> Advanced. Look at the 'Allowed iframe bases' setting.
You don't need codemirror to enable source mode in the editor - you need to allow your group "Can post html?" in the group settings, and then the 'Source' icon appears for you if you are in a forum that allows html to be posted.
Once you see how it works, you can then play around with creating a custom button in the editor to allow people to post links that you can convert to an iframe, all without the need to enable the 'Can post html?' setting.
