just on a database enquiry. I know I'm a bit of a numpty but I cant seem to find my database on my tmdh CPadmin.I know I go into my files but then I get lost as to the exact path to take that will lead me to database. I know its there somewhere just rolling on floor laughing at me.
starting at: public_html > ???

Thanks for posting that.
Are you using Paypal?
Is it in "test mode" which is only set via database?
Do you have support with us? If not, I can try testing on my own local site.

Basically, just use ftp and download everything from public_html to a directory on your computer. In addition to exporting the entire .sql file of your database periodically.

1. Navigate to Engine4Invites in your database. Best way is to use php My Admin. There you can cancel invitations by removing the email address.
2. The same database table lists all the invitation codes.
3. This requires some online tools and core file edits. First, you need to navigate to /application/modules/invite/model/db/invites.php. Open the file and scroll until you see the max number of invitations you can send at one time. Change this from 10 to any number you like. Once you do, save the changes. Note you'll need to go to the language editor and edit the line stating invite up to 10 recipients found on the main invite page. Now, go to php my admin and change the database setting for only accepting 10 emails at a time on the invitation form via engine4Settings. Scroll down until you see max invitations, then change this from 10 to the same number you set in the invites.php file. Save your changes in the database and...    less

1. Upgraded my development clone (copy) of my live site. It's on my local mamp install. No issues there.
2. Did a full backup of files and database.
3. Set the site to maintenance mode. 
4. Applied the patch in the new upgrade steps.
5. Upgraded the main core files and looked for any issues.
6. Upgraded the SE plugins, one at a time - checking for issues after each one.
7. Cleared cache as that's what I always do after upgrading.
8. Set the site online.
I had no errors shown after upgrade. 
I'm using cazaratech hosting with 4GB Ram, PHP 7 on Ubuntu 16. 
Using cloned Insignia theme that I changed fonts and simple things on. Only expert plugins are the ones I make and give free as ScriptTechs. 
Hope this helps!  less

All of 1-3 would be via database as I don't see those features. Item 4 would be a customization or check for a third party plugin in case one is already there. Perhaps there is a plugin that covers items 1-4.

Great tips. Thanks
We strongly recommend doing a complete backup of your database before making any changes to it. One wrong move and you could wipe out all of your hard work. 

I don't know of any way to reuse it as it maps to the specific question.  I guess you could experiment on a development site and see if it breaks anything to reuse it via database changes.

There is most likely a plugin in the marketplace by a third party developer that deals with this sort of thing though.

I have no idea how he's coding it. I just know we couldn't get it into 4.9.4 as it requires more extensive coding for it to work properly with our safety filters.
