I am mostly puzzled why it is not using the same account, and it switches from USER1 to USER2 when I go from the site to Invision and from USER2 to USER1 when I go back. Mystery!

Thanks @Marc Stridgen I'll look further into this. Other than the Easy Editor, I can do everything else in the CP so far so it is not a HUGE issue.

It sounds very much like you dont have permission in the admin CP to do everything you need to do. 

I see that. Isn't there a way to grant myself all those permissions? I do have two admin accounts. In WP, they are keymasters so they can do everything.

I am really not sure what is going on.

I tried installing the patch and at step 3, it says I don't need it and I don't have permission. That seems ok I guess, if I don't need it.

Waiting to see if there is anything wrong in my setting up the Wordpress SSO plugin.

I'll try that. I am confused as to why it was working fine earlier today but once I installed Wordpress SSO, it is now giving me those issues.

I'll check and come back to report.

then clicking "Review/Update Access Information" under the "Stored Access Information" section. 

I think I did it correctly now.

Can you help?

I have only two "members" showing in the Admin CP, and they are both me, both Administrator, created when I was initially installing it.

I logged out completely and logged back in. Went to my profile drop-down, Admin CP, Customize, Theme, and I am still unable to access the Easy Editor.

I am in the Admin CP, with an admin account yet, doing all kinds of tweaking in the backend, but it won't let me launch the Easy Mode editor.

Is there another way than under Customization > Theme to access it?

If you are looking for only /forum and /gallery you would need to move to root. Is this what you are looking to do?

Yes, that is what I want. I want the /gallery to be the link for now (/forum will be when I add the forum, later this year). Currently, this is what I have:

What/where do I move to the root? Isn't that already on the root?

EDIT: Oh, I see that file now, and see where the URL has to match. I replaced the /forum by /gallery in the folder and in that conf_global.php file and it is now showing mysite/gallery correctly. Yay!! Thanks!

OK, I must have changed something, because I seem to have confused things further for myself.

I currently have a folder "forum", on the root where Invision is installed. I likely made a naming mistake because I am not YET installing the forum. Can/Should I just change "forum" to "gallery" on the root? 

OK, thanks. Is there a support thread in this forum for each individual plugin?

I installed the Wordpress SSO plugin, and on both, my test installation and the live installation, the "Member", the IPS4 Group is missing.

I see it in this list:

but when i go to assign them in the Wordpress SSO, I only have "Administrators" and "Moderators"

What am I missing??

It’s a member group settings.

Somehow, I can't find that (sorry, I am still quite new to this).

I know I saw it before (I even changed it in my test installation) but I cannot find it again. Where do I limit the file size for images? I don't mean the dimension but the number of MB.

I am starting with installing the Gallery. I will install the Forum later only. Now, I am a little confused how to set the URL correctly for the Gallery now with the option for the Forum later.

I uploaded everything on my server under the folder name Gallery, but now, found a similar site that has both, and the gallery url is site/forum/gallery/ and the forum is site/forum/

As I am not live yet, I can still make changes. Is there a way to have the gallery as site/gallery, and later have site/forum when I add it? What confuses me is the fact that the whole Invision suite is likely installed only in ONE location, right?

You can embed photos and albums from the gallery in your posts.

By hotlinking?

My members are not always tech savvy so I am looking for the simplest way for them to showcase their image IF they choose to also put them in a gallery.

Alternatively, can a user simply "copy an image in the gallery" and "paste it in the forum"? Would that mean that the image will be uploaded twice on my server? That could make a big difference if it does or doesn't.

I know that the forum and the gallery are clearly using the same base platform so that is not where my question is.

My plan is to have a gallery AND a forum, but in my forum, I have all kinds of activities, workshops, etc. where participants will want to post their project. I know they will also want to post them in the gallery. Is there a way to have the image they post in the forum automatically added to their gallery? That would make things faster for them and prevent doubling on the uploaded files.

Or maybe an add-on?

Hum... I am not that sure, but I wanted to emulate my existing website navigation so it would not be so different for my current visitors/members. I guess I know just enough to be dangerous 😞

In the Guides section. Scroll down to “CSS Framework”

Thanks. That will surely be useful. I still can't figure out how to right-align the menu without the whole header. Any hint?

I am allergic to CSS, but I would also like to be able to tweak a few details (like align the navigation menu to the right instead of the left, and such).

Is there any general guide to CSS that I could use? I can usually understand code that is given and tweak as needed, but I am not sure where to start with this.

CSS would be the best way to control alignment.

Any hint what the code would look like ? 😉

You would need to customize your theme to do this. 

I am currently working on customization but I only see colors, fonts and size. Is that where I would change the alignment? Or do I need CSS? (I am allergic to CSS!)

Since I can now remove the Search that was taking space on the right side, can I now either center or align the navigation to the right?

Thanks. That worked.

I am still very new to this so I am easily lost! 🙂
