View File CMS Canonical App for IPS V5 Fixes a common SEO problem for sites using CMS articles with linked forum discussions. When a forum topic is associated with a Pages article for comment storage, search engines see two URLs with similar content, diluting your rankings. This app automatically sets the canonical URL on the forum topic to point back to the Pages article, consolidating SEO authority where it belongs. Configure which CMS databases should have canonical handling enabled from the ACP — everything else is automatic. Works with multiple databases and requires no template edits or manual intervention. This app could become redundant in future if IPS fixes this issue. Submitter Drew Dowdell Submitted 04/13/2026 Category Files -

View File News Sitemap for IPS5 Automatically generates a Google News compliant XML sitemap from your CMS articles. Recent articles (published within the last 48 hours) are pulled from your chosen CMS databases and output as a standards-compliant sitemap at yoursite.com/newssitemap.xml, ready to submit to Google Search Console. Choose which CMS databases to include and set your publication name from the ACP. The sitemap respects Google's 1,000-article limit, includes proper publication dates, and is sorted newest-first; no cron jobs or manual steps required. NOTE: Per Google News sitemap specifications, only articles published within the last 48 hours are included. If no articles are published within that window, Google Search Console may report sitemap errors — this is expected behavior and not an issue with the application.

Bounce Detector for IPS V5 View File For IPS V5: Automatically processes email bounce notifications and spam complaints from Amazon SES and Sendgrid, keeping your member list deliverable without manual effort. When a hard bounce or spam complaint is received via webhook, the member's email delivery is disabled and their account is flagged as validating — preventing future sends until an admin intervenes. Soft bounces are tracked and escalate to a hard block after repeated failures. Admins can review all blocked members, filter by status or domain, and manually re-enable delivery with a single click. Includes a one-time migration tool to import existing bounce data from the legacy Mail Bouncer plugin. Submitter Drew Dowdell Submitted 04/15/2026 Category Files
