@oplik0 oof those template docs are really outdated. I need to do some work to bring them up to date.

In the meantime, please refer to the Benchpress docs instead: https://github.com/benchpressjs/benchpressjs/blob/master/docs/readme.md

You should have the theme in it's own git repository, then pull and link that repository into node_modules when you deploy.

@crazycells this plugin is called "db search" because all it does it use the database's internal search functionality. That's why your first two requests are not possible to implement in this plugin.

Unfortunately other search plugins are difficult to set up since they require entirely new programs on your server.

Your third request is just entirely off topic, nothing really to do with the plugin. Personally I think the tagging system deserves a lot of help. I think removing the actual tag fields and instead just parsing post content could be a better system.

There's no way to expose HTTPS without a reverse proxy. This was a conscious decision to keep a separation of concerns, reduce development overhead, because reverse proxies have better support, and because anyone running multiple instances will need one for load balancing anyways.

Nginx is quite easy to set up, and LetsEncrypt has very good support for it.

@VaasKahnGrim you can use a different reverse proxy but I don't believe NodeBB supports https.

I recommend you set up nginx as a reverse proxy with Let'sEncrypt for your TLS certificate, which is safer than using CF SSL protection.

Once you get that working you can experiment with different cloudflare options, since that seems to be your problem.

What is your cloudflare setup? Is it set up to add SSL/TLS to your site?
