After all mods, plugins, and third party add-ons are disabled, and once the upgrade is completed, can we delete all the v3 old site files? ...or will that cause problems with the new site? I don't want to waste space housing a bunch of old directories and folders that don't pertain to my v4 site after upgrading.
If you look at the cleaning up tutorial, just follow that guide. It is in the Documentation, menu link is to the left if you have the menus open. If not, click the button next to the logo to open them. There is a special v3 cleanup after upgrading tutorial. It is also linked in the forum post in the kb tutorial requests section.If your site is large, you might want to wait for 4.4. as there are a lot of improvements coming for optimizations and it's also a full security check. This way, you don't upgrade too many times and disrupt the site since it's best practice to take a site offline before upgrading.
Thanks for your meaningful message. Yes I am into coding again, after 20 years :) . I am developing my next site myself. So I fully understand the pain of a developer :).
My point is that phpfox can write a script which checkes the versions of installed 3rd party apps and simply notify us. We can disable that app till the version is upgraded. The phpfox is a robust script , but they get bad name because of 3rd party apps. I am still not monetizing so its OK , but if your site is monetizing then its a big issue.
In order for us could check for your issue, please submit a ticket in our client area: https://clients.phpfox.com/ with your site access information, than my coworker will look into your problem soonest.
are you having the same issue? Phpfox needs to look at it, I just have to get back to them. been super busy but will update my ticket this week and report back here
Sorry I even didn't know I have repeated my answer 4 times :)))) I will be more careful in the next times :))))
You are correct, if you put the images on S3 and turn off the setting "keep files in server", then the images will be viewed on S3 link but could not displayed on the server link.
Please be advised that Google Play and Apple Store won't send the update information to users for any specifc app so that was the reason why your users could not received notification of the upgradation.
Moreover, Google Play and Apple Store is the big system which spreads across all over the world, thus, it will take time to propagate the new version and the delay for new update is unavoidable.
Seems odd that in the blocks you can add the block for --register and --register-top on the visitor page, and register still works but register-top does not.
Currently, we only support to share video from Facebook to phpFox site, however, we will considere carefully to connect phpFox platform with other social media in our future upgrades. We really regret for this inconvenience.
This is odd, because I have been experiencing the EXACT OPPOSITE on my site, which is running phpFox 4.8.6 on a 2017 Retina 5K iMac running the latest version of macOS Big Sur.
Although it has been happening for a while now -- I believe since I updated to 4.8.6 -- I haven't reported it to the phpFox support team yet.
In my case, if I type out a post or comment in a BBEdit text document -- BBEdit is a popular macOS text editor -- and then copy and paste it into a new post on my site, BEFORE actually saving the post, the text appears to have lost its formatting, just as you have described. In other words, all paragraphs are run together without any blank lines between them.
HOWEVER, once I actually save the post, the formatting looks normal. It is really confusing, and really weird behavior.
I noticed that you said "copy and paste". That suggests to me that maybe you are also a macOS user. It makes me wonder if Admins on other platforms experience this apparent bug.
This is now the second bug which has surfaced since I upgraded to 4.8.6. The first one -- which will hopefully be resolved soon -- concerns the apostrophe which is displaying in recent posts as its hexadecimal value, instead of as an actual apostrophe.
John, while I do have a macOS "Numbers" file -- Numbers is the macOS equivalent of an Excel spreadsheet -- where I store phrases changes, when it comes to solutions like this one which often involve more than one step, I have a folder called "phpFox How To's" where I store BBEdit text files. Each text file contains step-by-step instructions for how to perform a particular task, or achieve a particular objective. The name of each of these text files begins with "How to" and is followed by a brief description of what the instructions contained therein will do. It is a simple, straightforward, easy system which helps me to remember how to do certain things.
