Install WordPress next to DNN Started By hamid Hi A client asked me to install WordPress next to my DNN site And this customer does not want to install WordPress in a subdomain and wants to install it in a folder on the root of the site. Example: https:// dnnsite.com/newWordPressSite Now I install WordPress in a folder through Plesk, but DNN prevents the WordPress site folder from running. And displays the 404 page error. Please advise what should I do so that the second site is displayed correctly in the subfolder and DNN does not get ...	3	1757	2	9/23/2021 6:45 PM by hamid

Application Error on Startup Started By Cam5326 I downloaded DNN 9.10.1 and installed it with a SQL database, and yesterday it was working great! However, this morning when I logged on I only saw 'Application Error.' Clicking 'Return to Site' doesn't do anything. I went into the logs and found this was the error.

DNN Corp still open for business? Started By Justin C I realize this is the community forum for DNN Platform, but figure I'd ask here as there really isn't anywhere else to do so. Over the past few months I have seen a huge decline in DNN Support for my Evoq clients, most notably I have two open support tickets, one for 22 days and one for 30 days, both with zero responses besides the automated acknowledgment. I have repeatedly asked for updates and escalated both, with still no answer. Previously we would get an answer within a day or two at mo...	3	1702	2	7/30/2021 7:47 PM by Justin C
Better support for users changing their password Started By ScottH I'm running DNN Platform 9.9.1, maintain 30 different portals, and have ~4,000 users. I often see users struggle with changing their password. I've updated the error message (in the language resources) so that it identifies the custom password rules we have. Regardless, some users still have problems and there's little useful information that DNN provides to the user to help them figure out the issue. It could be a case of them trying a password that fails the rules, or they're using an inva...	2	1339	2	7/16/2021 9:11 AM by ScottH

DNNGO, digNuke and "Ventrian": When things go right, Started By Joe Craig We often hear about difficulties upgrading from out of data DNN installations, particularly when old modules need replacing and vendors have gone by the wayside. I have a client site that has been at DNN 7.3.3 since late 2014 and it needs upgrading. Badly! I was able to easily upgrade a DNNGo menu, digNuke's digForm module, and the open source version of Ventrian's old News Articles module. All are working fine with an upgrade to DNN 9.9.1.

Mixed-content errors when using reverse proxy with SSL Started By Gmaes Telecom One of our customers has a DNN site that is behind a reverse proxy server. The communication is like this: User -> Reverse Proxy (HTTPS Apache) -> DNN (HTTP IIS) Since we activated the reverse proxy the popups on the site stopped working because of the mixed-content error on the browser. At first, we perceived that this was happening to some custom modules popups. We couldn't find the code where it would call the DNN popup and pass the URL to change it from HTTP to HTTPS, so we did a li...		2482	0	5/27/2021 4:42 PM by Gmaes Telecom
