How did you try to do the upgrade? I do not think that you have anything to worry about. Ips staff will sort you out. They are professionals and very helpful.
P.s. Did you make a backup of the database btw before attempting to upgrade the forum?

Yes, it is.

Use the most recent Xenforo to IPS converter and see if it works.

That's an error from the native Commerce 'donations' widget...

Thank you.

Personally I think it is better to upgrade directly to 4.5.2, 

Many thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Looking forward to engaging further with the community in the near future! 😄

Welcome and congratulations to both for joining the amazing Ips team. :)

Invision Community is growing at a rapid rate! To help us keep up with all of the epicness, we've brought on two new developers (4.7 we see you 😏).  
Drum roll please...

Happy Hump Day, fam! Before we dive into the goodness, I just want to say thank you for being a part of Invision Community. It's been really fun to see community members and the IC team become even more unified as we've rolled out 4.6. 🥲 
Speaking of...(!!!) 4.6 Beta 2 is now live! 🎉 
It's worth reminding you this is the third Beta version (it follows Beta 1 and Beta 1.1).
We collected a roundup of changes needed and spent the last week implementing updates. 
Not only did @Matt write an epic blog post about what you can expect to see in 4.6, he also relayed this list of fixes 🤯 
Added a no search results message when searching Pixabay and Giphy. Added truncated views for status updates. Added a new check to make sure a datastore method is working before using it. Clarified that a template must be saved when editing template variables/attributes. Fixed an issue with an alert message not showing when selecting ‘Administrators’ as Secondary Group for Members. Fixed an issue when an anonymous online status doesn’t persist across logins when using button log in methods. Fixed an issue where it wasn’t possible to grant access to the email stats page to a limited Administrator. Fixed an issue where the Standard login handler title isn’t saved on edit. Fixed some admin control panel live search results linking to the wrong page. Fixed an issue where text when using the visual language editor could be white on a white background. The last post date in fluid view will no longer extend beyond the browser width on mobiles. Fixed an issue where JSON-LD data was badly formatted for Question/Answer forums or when “Enable Solved” was enabled. Fixed an issue where phrase searches containing stop words could return no results. Added an option for members to cancel expired subscriptions to be able to purchase another subscription. Fixed an issue where PayPal Billing Agreements / Subscriptions may not include sales tax. Fixed an issue when approving a held Stripe transaction if the payment has already been captured. Fixed an issue where an empty donations page was visible creating a soft 404.  
 
4.6's official release date for all is set for the first half of June. 
Beta versions are available for Cloud clients (by request), or can be downloaded if you are self-hosted (proceed with caution and please make a backup!).
Have YOU been testing out 4.6? What are your overall thoughts now that you've had a minute to soak it all in? Sound off in the replies! 

Beta versions, as a rule of thumb, should not be used on a live installation. That is what test forums are for. 
Anyways, looking forward to take the new version for a test drive. Many thanks to the great and amazing Ips team for all their hard work. 

Hey team, it's been 84 years (if you know you know), but...
We're excited to announce that Invision Community 4.6.0 Beta 1 is officially live! 🎉 
@Matt has a blog post on the way detailing all of the amazing additions, including how many commits and lines of code that were changed. A lot. The answer is a lot. 
Just to refresh your memories, some of the biggest changes/additions include:
Achievements (Points!) Web app and Push notifications Anonymous Posting when posting as a member Highlight Topics with replies from specific Groups Spam Improvements (And more!) It's available per request for Cloud customers or, if you're self-hosted, by manually downloading it.
Self-hosted: please make the necessary backups before upgrading. Because this is a Beta, please understand there is an inherent risk when upgrading.
The more information/feedback we get, the better we can optimize and improve things 🙂
If you find something and would like to submit a bug, please do so here.
Looking forward to hearing what you think! Sound off in the replies below. 

Few months have passed since our last post here, so let's get ready to rumble🙂
Supported PHP & MySQL Versions:
The PHP min version was increased to PHP 7.2 in IPS 4.6, this means that your marketplace submissions are required to work with this version, but keep in mind that few clients are going to use php8, so I would really suggest to try to get your code working with both versions, which means that you'll need to implement some changes to avoid some BC breaks in PHP8.
Here's a great list https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration80.incompatible.php
Security Improvements:
I have mentioned this change in another topic today, so let's recap it here too:)
We have a new IN_DEV code check similar to the slash check, which will inform you about any outputs containing the CSRF key in the URL.
This is a bad practice allowing attackers and 3rd parties to obtain the users CSRF key, so please try avoid this at any cost!
We're not going to reject MP submissions because of this, but please try to avoid this as much as much as possible.
Withdrawal Requests:
Please keep in mind that you're permitted to have only one payout request per week;) Since this didn't work out that great and to avoid any drama about canceled requests, this is going to be handled now automatically. As long as there's an open request, you won't be able to submit any new requests! But don't worry, you'll still be able to cancel it and create a new request!

Welcome to part 3 ( Part 1 & Part 2 ) of our series for 3rd party developers.
 
Let's recap the interesting stuff:
A new extension was added to the core app to allow 3rd party apps to extend the achievements.
Content Items can be marked as anonymous
We have cleaned up our code and have removed almost all the deprecated methods and variables!
 
One if the most concerning changes for IN_DEV users will probably be our new ACP warning once the CSRF Key is being exposed in the ACP

 
That's nothing to worry about, it's only returned with enabled IN_DEV mode, but please take it serious and try to avoid any redirect to any URL containing the CSRF key and containing user generated content.

Update // September 14, 2021: WE MADE IT! 
After months of hard work behind-the-scenes, we launched our newly-refreshed website and community theme. We have a formal blog post about it on the way, but we wanted to share this soft launch with you first 🤫. Feel free to share your feedback in the comments; we're here for you and are chatting!

Hey all, Happy Hump Day!
@Charles and I joined forces here in Las Vegas this week because we're planning something super exciting. 🤐😎 
After 4.6 rolls out, we're focusing on freshening up our homepage/subsequent pages and match that branding with this community. That may or may not be an understatement, but if there's anything to take away from this teaser it's that there some slick visual changes on the way!  
If you guys have any websites/homepages which are clean & minimal that inspire you, we'd love for you to drop some links in the comments. We already do have a firm idea/concept planned out, but your opinions matter to us! We'd like to hear from you. 

The 4.6 release now moves all existing custom titles to a new custom field.

We're very much aware of CKEditor 5.

As mentioned above, the migration to v5 isn't a simple case of dropping in the new files. We'd need to re-code all of our custom plugins that handle many things including embedding, drag and drop uploading and much more.

CKEditor 4 is supported until 2023. While CKEditor 5 brings many useful new things, it's not urgent enough for us to "down tools" and focus a 6-12 week block on it.

It's on our roadmap along with other javascript improvements that we want to develop and deploy.

I like this.  When I renew my license I will buy this.

Thank you. I see what you mean now. There is no such option in the current version.

You can change the number of views per blog by changing the revelant views field for said blog in the database. Or you can request a custom plugin that will do that.

Welcome @Matt Finger and congratulations on being part of the amazing Ips team! :)

This is 4.4 but should work in 4.5. 
It is unsupported. 

The app works fine, For the first screenshot you must enter the name of the member. For the second screenshot, make sure to enter the correct name.

Happy Hump Day, fam! 
Been receiving a lot of messages about 4.6 and Achievements. We're near the finish line (I know that's annoying to hear but we're close!).
Why the wait? We absorbed a ton of useful feedback from you and are implementing it 👏 Achievements is turning out even more epic than what we launched here a few weeks ago 😭. It'll be worth the wait (again, annoying I know, but sit tight).
Our talented team of Code Yodas™ (aka our developers) implemented some cool additions that'll make their red carpet debut in 4.6. 📸 
The ones we're highlighting today are the improved appearance of Notifications Settings and Top Files reporting in the ACP. Shout-out to YouTube Short URLs being fixed as well.

Improved appearance of Notifications Settings
You'll notice we're adding more flexibility to control what kinds of notifications show, and incorporating them with the Push notifications feature. 😍 . Thanks to @Rikki for hooking up the screen shot preview!
 

 
 
Most Downloaded files statistics in the ACP
And for the data junkies, we've also added statistics for the most downloaded files in the ACP. Shout-out to @Matt Finger for this implementation!




 
Our full list of changes made in the last week:
- Fixed an issue where changing table filters could cause the table to be stuck in loading state due to an underlying error.
- Fixed an issue where Stripe webhook events may fail in some circumstances.
- Account settings will no longer prompt for re-authentication if the account does not have a way of re-authenticating. Applies mostly to custom SSO integrations.
- Fixed an issue where Youtube Shorts URLs would not embed.
- Fixed an issue where API requests may cause an error if referencing transactions from deleted members.
- Improved the appearance of the Notification Settings screen.
- Added support for converting Markdown formatted posts in Vanilla.
- Fixed some issues when converting from Vanilla and your files used to be in S3.
- Added statistics pertaining to the most downloaded files

Lots of exciting things going on here. What's your favorite from the list? Sound off in the comments - we'd love to hear from you! 

Perfect
