Hi Chris - Yes still up and running, although it does seem to be loading a little slower than usual. But no concern about that right now. Thank you! Steve

Hi Paul - Thanks for the reply. Crazy, I was about done for the night playing with it, figured I'd just move it back to the 7.3, and shockingly it worked. The website is back up. I wonder if it's actually in one of the other PHP modes now, but I didn't give it enough time to propagate? Now...

I found the spot on my SiteGround account to manually upgrade the PHP. Currently it is at 7.3 - I think the rep on the phone probably changed it to the 7.3, but it still doesn't work. I manually changed it to 7.4 didn't work, and some of the 8 PHP's and it still didn't work. The error...

Additional note: Also around the same time or a bit before the website stopped working, I received a message that SiteGround was upgrading to MySQL version 8. I don't think this has anything to do with my website not working. But just wanted to make sure that any newly purchased XenForo upgrade...

Question on PHP 7.3 Hi XenForo - I purchased your great software back in 2016. I've been using SiteGround as the server since then which was recommended by one of your members on this forum, and I've been fine with it. My website has been down for a few weeks with these basic error messages...

Hi XenForo - two questions if I may: 1. I want to add a donate button to my forum. I also wish to keep my contact information private. I know that PayPal offers this but not an option to retain privacy. I noticed some donate buttons offered on the internet that offer total privacy. Has anyone...

Following up on this - I sent the server the below message: Recently my website went down. I fixed it by changing the PHP from 7.4.18 to 5.6. The forum software company recommended i do that, and it worked. The website came back up. But your website said that the 5.6 will soon not be usable...

That's good news - I really like emojis. :) I will heed the good advice about backing it up just in case. Thanks again everyone! Steve

Admittedly, I get the very nice upgrade emails from you guys, but i've never done it mainly because i was completely satisfied with what I have. It never crossed my mind about obsolescence, but it should have - my mistake. I've never done any add-ons or anything else that i can recall. The only...

Hi Brogan - Your analysis and solution was perfect. We are back up. Thank you VERY much! Moving forward, I switched the PHP from 7.4.18 to 5.6. However the host stated that the PHP 5.6 is being deprecated, and basically eliminated soon. I'm presuming your XF2 will work fine with the PHP...

Thank you for the reply. I will contact the host. In a nutshell, what is involved in upgrading to XF2 as far as the cost and time performing the upgrade? Will the upgrade "automatically" fix this current problem, or does the host need to be contacted first, get it up and running from their...

Also another question - Am I now possibly going to lose all the posts on my website, even if the error gets fixed? Thank you!

50right.com Hi Xenforo - I have been most happy with the Xenforo forum software. Basically easy to use and very good looking. Never had any problems with anything until now. My domain fee and server fee are all paid in full. Been getting this error message since this morning, which from...

I hope that I used the right terminology for the title. The thing whereby you place Amazon or eBay or Google, etc, banner links on your Xenforo website, the visitors click it, and you get paid by the sponsors in various ways for clicks or purchases. I know there is lots of info out there on the...

My apologies for the last post - it DID WORK, and worked PERFECTLY. Greatly appreciate the help. Many thanks! Steve
