While I appreciate there are things that may have been there before the update, there may be something on the update that its now triggering. Please disable these and test again in the first instance

disable what?

Are you utilizing mod_security or any other security system which may be blocking the external image request from your server to the external source?

No to mod_security + nothing that wasn't enabled or configured before running the update.

Have you actually tested on a default theme? Asking due to the last item there

yes, as mentioned in the above post and in the OP.

As mentioned above, you need to check your server error logs to see exactly what the error is when you are testing this. Its very likely there is something like modsecurity or securi that are blocking these in some manner

Here's everything relating to the issue I can find from the logs:

TypeError: Unsupported operand types: string * int (0)
#0 /home/applications/core/modules/front/system/editor.php(130): IPS\Text\_Parser::imageEmbed()
#1 /home/system/Dispatcher/Controller.php(107): IPS\core\modules\front\system\_editor->validateLink()
#2 /home/system/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php(153): IPS\Dispatcher\_Controller->execute()

#4 {main}

Backtrace:

#0 /home/init.php(1029): IPS\_Log::log()
#1 [internal function]: IPS\IPS::exceptionHandler()
#2 {main}

and if I hit the link that is returning the 500 error ()...

The CSRF protection key did not match. This may indicate a plugin or theme is out of date. Please contact technical support for more information.

also to reiterate, this worked perfectly fine before updating the forum and PHP. I haven't got any plugins installed and this is using an uncustomized default theme. other than upgrading the php version, nothing has changed on my server.

Would you like me to move your topic to the Help & Support forum?

Yes please.

Might want to update the link and copy on this button in the client area to avoid confusion.

any help or insights would be appreciated please.

(I'd ask Invision directly but email/live chat support seems to have been removed for paying customers)

Upgraded to the latest version (v4.7.4 + PHP 8.1) and can no longer embed external images from their url. everything else seems to embed okay.

no 3rd party plugins and using the default theme.

pasting the image in directly works, but it errors when pasting the image url.

Please disable cloudflare and then test again. I suspect this is what is causing you issues

disabled CloudFlare and still wouldn't work.

Have you check mod_security first of all there? Its very likely this is what is causing you issues

nope not enabled. just to reiterate, it had been working absolutely fine before the upgrade. and nothing has changed in terms of the server setup. all other embeds are coming through fine too.

The account on file does not currently have access to the admin CP. Please could you provide this? I am not seeing any issues with embedding on our side, so please also check mod_security and other such items to see if they are being blocked

added the account to admin group now.

Please could you provide me with an example link?

PM'd you, thanks.

The link could not be embedded because there is no tweet at that URL.

Since upgrading to the latest version, we've been getting this error whilst trying to embed any tweet.

I'm having user complaints about the same issue.

Sessions via Redis and it's happening on various devices/browsers without any cookie blocking scripts etc. I'll report back in here if I find anything.

+1 for nested quotes. They're a big miss after moving from SMF.

It's been a few years, but it totally kept track of what had been converted and could be restarted if something happened to the connection.

You made it seem like you wanted to convert another instance or source. What exactly are you trying to do?

Have you opened a ticket?

So I took an initial dump of our existing forum a few weeks ago. I've been working with that locally, to get everything set up and ready, before I plan to turn the existing forum offline, dump and run a final conversion. I'm simply looking to minimise downtime and if there was a way to add any new users, threads, posts etc since that initial dump, that would speed up the process massively and reduce the time spent offline.

I wasn't sure it was something that warranted opening a ticket, but I will do that now.

Got it @Sonya* thanks.

That's a bit frustrating it doesn't remember what has already been imported. It's taking about 3 days for a full conversion.

I suppose I'll need to manually delete all user, topic, and post data?

Is there a way to run a conversion multiple times? It's finished but won't let me run it again to add new data.
