Danny Glover Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) 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. Edited November 30, 2016 by Danny Glover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restore from backup. Cant stress it enough, when installing or updating anything with IPS or 3rd party Addons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess worst case scenario I could backup the database then re-import the forum topics and settings tables. Probably prone to error though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 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.

Danny Glover Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 Decided to nuke my forum and start over. Lessons learned: Always backup site before installing stuff Always backup site before installing stuff Always backup site before installing stuff Always backup site before installing stuff MADMAN32395 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy Rex Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Seems a bit extreme to nuke it and start over - from what it sounds like, it might have just been a caching issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it wasn't. Ruled out all the obvious stuff. My community wasn't live yet, so it wasn't the end of the world, thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy Perry Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) 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. Edited December 1, 2016 by T. D.

Joel R Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Try to clear your cache in the ACP And clear your cache in the browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
