    Add-Ons to Track Guests

    Limiting guests typically has the opposite affect. If you limit guests you just get fewer guests and fewer registered users. You also need to be careful to make sure any add-on you use does not also limit search engines from seeing all your content or you are going to be hurting yourself there...

    XF 2.3 Blocking guests from seeing style-variation?

    Should work just fine. Double check any other template mod on same code block with higher execution order.

    As part of upgrades, flush redis

    As @Xon said, I'm pretty sure this isn't necessary. I've never flushed Redis after any XenForo upgrades (for years on multiple sites) and never noticed any issues. As it is, there isn't a single XenForo Redis TTL longer than 3600 so within 1 hour all keys will automatically be replaced anyway.

    Built-in Redis cache does not gracefully degrade on connection failure, leading to fatal errors

    When the built-in Redis cache provider is configured and Redis becomes temporarily unavailable (e.g., during a service restart or brief outage), XenForo throws an uncaught RedisException, resulting in a fatal error that makes the entire site inaccessible. This occurs early in the bootstrap...

    XF 2.3 Want to change rounded corners to square corners

    If you want to use it, just copy and paste into the extra.less template in XF Cloud. Go to: Admin > Appearance > Templates > extra.less As for there being a single specific setting to adjust border-radius for your entire theme, that would be theme specific and I figured you would have checked...

    XF 2.3 Want to change rounded corners to square corners

    Add this to extra.less template: .block-container, .button, a.button, .blockMessage, .block-rowMessage, .block--messages .message, .block--messages .block-row, .carousel-item { border-radius: 0; } .p-nav-list .p-navEl.is-selected, .p-navgroup { border-top-left-radius: 0...

    Redis Cache By Xon

    @Xon, thanks for the detailed explanation — I really appreciate you taking the time. Everything you said aligns with how Credis, phpredis/Predis, Symfony RedisAdapter, and Laravel behave in practice. I appreciate the correction on PSR-16 (no prohibition on throwing for connection failures) and...

    Redis Cache By Xon

    Yes, I agree. I just wanted to reconfirm with @Xon that my expectations that XenForo should fallback gracefully if Redis (or any caching instance) wasn't out of line before moving on to report this "bug" with caching. Edit: From what I can tell the fatal CredisException is thrown directly from...

    Redis Cache By Xon

    Agreed but my host was (actually still is) having system wide issues on numerous servers involving some enhanced security add-ons causing some instability at times, resulting in Redis reporting OOM and not auto-restarting when it normally should. Just something out of my control, but it did...

    Redis Cache By Xon

    Been using this add-on for quite awhile now, but I just came across what I would consider a major bug or oversight. All Redis code should be written to gracefully fallback to database, in-memory, or file-based data. This add-on failed hard for me when Redis was down, it appeared to make 3...

    New post shows future time

    When posting here on XenForo.com I got this after submitting a post: after a page refresh it corrected itself to "A moment ago". Tried a test thread and post after could not duplicate.

    cPanel install to 2 domain extensions

    FYI - just because something can be done does not mean it should be done. There are some major downsides, as far as SEO is concerned, running a setup like this. You will need to select a canonical 'domain', which means the secondary domain will not have any unique data and will not rank well in...

    XF 2.3 Custom field management/coding

    This can be done with template edits/modifications where you want to display the full name data. You would just use a simple conditional check to make sure the data exists. No need for a full "add-on" for something simple like this. Example: <xf:if...

    Try out the XenForo 2.3.8 Preview!

    Technically speaking wouldn't this be a Release Candidate (RC) and not a Preview? Especially since it is just for final bug crushing and is feature complete and your intention is for a final release short term (within a week or so if all goes well). To me this screams RC and not Preview. I...
