    One of the first important things to do after setting up NodeBB is to set up an emailer plugin. While NodeBB does include a local emailer, if your forum is particularly active we recommend using an third-party emailer such as SendGrid which provides better deliverability for sites that send a high volume of email. Setting up SendGrid in NodeBB is very easy. Open the administrative dashboard using the 'gear' icon on your forum. Open the Extend > Plugins menu, and select the Find Plugins tab. Use the search on the right. Type 'SendGrid' and the plugin should appear -- select Install when you see it. From Installed tab on the Plugins menu, search again for 'SendGrid' and select Activate. Activating the plugin will require a restart of your forum. To restart, select the Dashboard menu and press the Restart button to the right. After NodeBB restarts, the SendGrid plugin will be active. After you restart, there should be a item called Emailer (SendGrid) under the Plugins menu -- if you don't see this right away, try refreshing your browser. Sign up to SendGrid Go to the SendGrid website, open the pricing page and scroll to the bottom. Click on the link and create your free account. Once you've confirmed your SendGrid account via email, you should be able to login to the SendGrid website. On the left side of your SendGrid dashboard, open Settings and click on API Keys. Click the button in the top right to create a new key. Make sure that the key has Full Access for Send Mail and Alerts.  When you are done, the new key to your clipboard. Now, return to the SendGrid menu on your NodeBB admin panel. Paste the API key into the field, and save your changes. Now go back to the Dashboard to restart your forum one more time. SendGrid should now be working for your forum. [image: youtubelogo.png] Setting up SendGrid mailer for NodeBB

    I think you answered my point, by agreeing there are issues. I didn't even attempt to deploy nodebb, I had problems with much smaller projects! Nextjs routing was going through a change of design at the time, so perhaps that is less confusing now, but there were multiple other headaches. I would get build errors and issues with package management.

    Hi,I'm new to nodeBB and I was trying to develop on Intellij. I simply add Configuration for Grunt using the default Grunt.js in the nodeBB folder. But I noticed something was different between running Grunt and running "nodebb --dev start". I wrote an empty plugin using "nodebb-plugin-quickstart". It works normal on "nodebb-dev-start". But,when I use Grunt to run it,it says "warn: [upgrade/appendPluginScripts] Unable to read plugin.json for plugin nodebb-plugin-fr-exam. Skipping." And all the sudden,the empty plugin I modified doesn't work anymore.No settings on ACP , no consoles on pages(I modified from nodebb-plugin-quickstart). What exactly did I do wrong? I'm pretty sure the dev group is using Grunt since the building process is annoying.There's no reason I can't use Grunt ,right?Please help.

    @julian If i hide the posts and set to view only for logged in users then it effects for SEO? I need to index all contents in google. If i hide post for only logged in users, Google crawl also can't detect posts right?

    @julian Hello Issue is already fixed thanks to @Per0x It was Nginx yes, But now i have a problem. For some reason the forum don't load new profile pictures. Let me explain you; I upload my first profile picture, everyone can see it. But if i update my profile picture no one can see the new one until they delete Cache/cookies.

    @scottalanmiller is correct, those numbers are produced on the fly based on active websocket sessions, and not stored anywhere. However, you might be interested in https://github.com/barisusakli/nodebb-plugin-browsing-users, which brings a live-list of current users in-topic back to topic.tpl

    @crazycells Yea for now we do the same too. I'll look into specific query to backup widgets only as a safe measure.
