Hello, I currently manage a XF site that is on 1.4.5 on a VPS. I'm interested in upgrading it to 1.5.13 but am slightly weary of doing it in production. I've done it before but I wouldn't necessarily call it a best practice either. Ultimately, I'm interested in moving our site to AWS so that I...

Hello, I'm interested in upgrading from 1.4.5 but wanted to ask if it's generally safe to upgrade live. What do most admins do in terms of upgrading? Do you guys test it on a staging environment first or just do it in production during non-peak hours? I personally prefer to follow best...

Cool, I'll check those resources out, have at it, then report back if I have issues (hope not) or if I'm successful. Thanks so much for your help!

Yeah, personally I'd like to get into that habit too but I just don't have things (hardware/software/files) set up for it yet where I can just run it like a well oiled machine. If you don't mind me asking, what's your typical release cycle? Do you dupe the live site, upgrade, and then if it...

Alright, thanks for confirming that. Do you feel this is necessary for minor releases as well or just major ones?

I have to admit, it's been a while since our forum has been upgraded. However, I'm generally used to habit of testing things locally before deploying them to production... it's just best practice. Of course, I'm curious how safe it is to just follow the upgrade procedure outlined in the XF...

You guys are awesome and just saved me lots of time from having to scrounge the FAQs for it. Much appreciated!

Hello, I'm interested in letting the other admins of my site post questions here but it looks like they don't have sufficient privileges. Do I need to somehow tie them to our Xenforo license? I don't recall exactly what the requirements are to post in these forums that are non-public. Thanks in...

Is there a setting or template mod that I can do so that the RSVP list shows the users in the order of RSVP (first come, first serve)? There are certain events that I can think of that have limited attendance and it would be great to automatically sort that out based on the timestamps of...

Thanks for the response, I'll try it out. :)

Hello, Since copy-pasting PayPal button code doesn't really work in threads due to already being within an HTML form. So in the interest of using this method, I need to be able to grab the logged-in user's forum handle and pass it as a parameter through the PayPal button. I tried going through...

Just got it updated and working. Thanks!

So, I'm very interested in purchasing this but I wanted to clarify if using this will allow me to use a WordPress site as a splash page for our XF forum where the splash page could have links to other parts of the WordPress site while having widgets that aggregate like the recent posts, social...

Is there a plugin that will allow me to use a WordPress page as my home page with links to our Xenforo forum? It appears that xF-Wordpress Bridge may be the answer but wanted to ask if there are any better implementations. Thanks in advance!

I just copy-pasted my post in the add-on thread. Is the issue only isolated to the add-on?
