The IONOS VPS plans are quite favorable compared to those. Based on my encounter with one of them, they come real close to a low-to-mid-level dedicated in some respects. https://www.ionos.com/servers/vps

Well, I have 3 licenses and all are used on active sites. That would require setting up a fourth setup?

Next time I do it, I'll check.

I think you misunderstand. I tried the earlier attempts with add-ons disabled too and it still failed. I only succeeded by manually copying the files over via SFTP.

As I said, I disabled the add-ons before installation. Using Safari for macOS Sonoma.

Default style. I'll check log next time.

I have tested the betas on our least-used forum, so I can try it out but can quickly restore the contents if it fails. It fails every time. So, trying to use the online upgrade tool fails after the download process, and the forum reverts to a blank screen. I tried copying the files to the...

I have tried to run this beta on our least used forum. It's something I can quickly restore if need be. No beta version has run successfully. Yes, I disable all add-ons first. The upgrade fails always. So I have to copy the files over. So beta 4 during install process: XF\Db\Exception: MySQL...

As a prolific developer of add-ons, is this anything you'd like to tackle?

I did try to see who hosts the site, but it's protected by CloudFlare. The domain is registered with GoDaddy, so that might be a source of potential complaints if the developer is taking money and failing to deliver products/services as promised.

To be fair, there may be perfectly reasonable reasons why no support or response has been provided by the developer in 2 years. It may be a matter of business issues, personal problems (illnesses, etc.). But a response, if one is possible, would surely resolve some things.

But if money is being taken for products and/or services that aren't being delivered, that's another matter entirely with potential legal complications. Refunds can be requested via chargeback (if it isn't too late), or by request to the developer.

Someone is paying for the hosting of the site. Someone is receiving money when the paid versions of the add-ons are ordered. So the company is not technically out of business.

If someone has an investment in purchasing and using an add-on in a way that delivers income to a forum, this is not easily done. I'm sure most people who ordered the pro version of Paid Registrations didn't know it would be abandoned without notice. Not everyone has the wherewithal to...

Alas, I don't see any sign that anyone is interested. Then again, if fixing the current add-on to be 2.3 compatible is simple, maybe changing a few lines of code, maybe someone could unofficially advise how without distributing the fix? It's not as if they have any real fear of consequences. I'd...
