Error After Upgrade

[TIPF]

Hi.

I've just upgraded to v4.7 and now getting the following error:
Fatal error: Cannot use "parent" when current class scope has no parent in /home/www/tipf.co.uk/forums/system/Theme/Theme.php(2703) : eval()'d code on line 37

The only theme I have installed is the default, although I do have the app 'Dark mode' installed, this was upgraded 2 days ago and is apparently now compatible with v4.7.

Sorry, looks like the error was not included. Could you please reply with it?

This is an issue with a third party application or plugin. Disabling those should fix the issue.

Because of the error I can't access the ACP.

Sorry, I've no idea what that is.

Read the guide. Add a constant.php file, etc.

Recovery mode will make your board load without any 3rd-party resource enabled... then just disable them and your board is back.

Wouldn't know where to start.

Constant - RECOVERY_MODE
Use - Used for recovery of the system when failure occurs in 3rd party items, preventing ACP access
Example value - TRUE

 

Add:

<?php
\define('RECOVERY_MODE','TRUE');

I need point out that I don't know the first thing about coding, I install software, I expect it to work as described.

[Adriano Faria]

Upload the file to the same folder of conf_global.php via FTP:

constants.php

then once you're in, disable apps and plugins. This will give you access to your ACP again.

After disable apps and plugins, delete the file you uploaded (constants.php).

To find out the resource with issue, you will have to enable one, test, enable other, test, etc... or maybe you'll find out which one with problem in the logs.

File uploaded, made no difference at all, the site is still not accessible.

You better wait for someone from IPS to help you.

I've just checked and it seems I have several uploads of the conf_global.php file in various locations, tried again and I'm in 👍

Glad to hear you got this resolved. 🙂

For future reference to others, there must be only one instance of conf_global.php, which has to be located in the software's main directory (where e.g. init.php, index.php, and error.php are also located). 

If constants.php is added, it also must be placed in the same directory.
