Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted November 30, 20168 yr I think this was after installing an application, see below: Now all my text fields in the admin cp and some areas of the site are now invisible, and only the file upload box remains. At least that's what it looks like. On both the default theme and my own themes. As you can see in the screenshot below, the "About this file" text field has turned into a file upload area. This happens on both the default theme and my custom theme. Aside from reinstalling IP.Board, does anyone have any suggestions on where I can revert/fix this bug? Thanks so much PS: I have all my plugins disabled.

Don't have one, unfortunately. Hoping this has happened to someone else who recalls how they fixed it. I guess worst case scenario I could backup the database then re-import the forum topics and settings tables. Probably prone to error though
November 30, 20168 yr Since the moment you disabled all plugins, have you run the Support tool in the ACP to clear the cache? ACP -> System -> (Support) Support -> Something isn't working correctly If yes - have you raised a ticket yet? If no - run it. If it resolves it, do a happy dance. If it doesn't, raise a ticket.

November 30, 20168 yr Seems a bit extreme to nuke it and start over - from what it sounds like, it might have just been a caching issue.

Ruled out all the obvious stuff. My community wasn't live yet, so it wasn't the end of the world, thankfully.
December 1, 20168 yr ANY time before you perform an IPS upgrade, back up. ANY time you upgrade add-ons, back up. ANY time before installing a new add-on, back up. ANY time more than 24 hours has passed, back up. AND these back ups need to be both of the DB AND the forum structure. I think you got the point earlier, but just wanted to emphasize it again. If you are on shared hosting, it's a pain, but if you are on a VPS or a dedicated server, a simple script will perform it for you.
