Any help would be SO fantastic, thank in advance

A cache clear will help in fairness but its a short term fix and the same issues keep coming back...

Could anyone tell me what to action (or more to the point as someone to action...!)

Thanks a million!

As an example, right now, on mobile it wont let me open the hamburger (to view profile etc) all it does when I click it is refresh the page. Which as you can imagine is driving my forum member nuts

Does the error go away if you switch to a default, unedited theme?

Hey @teraßyte thanks fotr your message; it could be that the theme is too old in fairness...

I havent tried to switch to the default theme...that could fix it..how do I switch to that to test?

aha. The plot thickens Baldrick. So do I just set that as the theme and run that test?

Just make sure to give it a name like "New Default" or something so you know which one you're actually selecting!  Also make sure once it's good that you remove the old bad "IPS Defaults" and set the new one as the theme for all members.  🙂

Thanks! Will try this now...if its goes wrong, I can always just switch it back right..how likely am I to break something beyond repair lol?!

 

You can change it only for you by making the theme available to your member group and then switching to using it from the front end of the site.  If it does not work, just switch back to your prior theme!

If it does work, you can make that theme the default for everyone by choosing that option in the theme settings!  🙂

I think it is the theme as every single 'box' on the forum (even in ACP) does look or scale properly, will report back though

Are you using Template Cache in ACP -> System -> Advanced Configuration? If so, try disabling that to see if there is a writing issue with your cache.

This is what it is set at, this has not been updated in months, or maybe years.

Hey Jim, thanks so much for your reply. Was this aimed at me too...? I am caching using this in support:

Right or wrong...or theres a better way? Thanks

Could you please see if you can pinpoint the time it nexts happens, then leg us know that time so we can investigate accordingly? I suspect they indeed may be, but I would need that to know for sure.

Please also leave the issue in place while I take a look

Sure thing! Thanks Marc

..although just to clarify as it drives everyone mad, I can clear the cache but just need to tell you the time at which the problems were occurring? Or you want to see the errors 'live' yourself ie no cache?

22 hours ago, Jim M said:

We would need both. The error that you're seeing and the error in place.

If your online, its doing it right now. 

 

On mobile if you click the hamburger icon it just refreshes the page and on desktop if your click the profile pic to drop the menu this too just refreshes the page too

 

Ill hold off doing the cache for 5 or so mins in the hope that you can get in and take a look...

 

@Jim M ill just @ you so you know for sure, hope you dont think im being rude

Thanks! Taking a look...

@Fubra, please check the FTP access details on file. They are inaccurate. 

Hey Jim thanks for taking a look. Sorry I dont know the FTP access or how to update it im non technical apologies. Are we bust then, without this you are unable to diagnose the issue?

@Jim M Sure thing will do Jim, ill drop them an email right now. Where can I see the FTP access details on file so I can query them with hosting and update when I have the new details? Many thanks!!

If you take a look at the guide here, it shows where you update details

Note, if you are looking for the details as you mention, you will not get the password as its not shown

Thanks @Marc Stridgen amending these now. Do you connect via FTP or SFTP...or have I asked a noob question and they are one and the same thing?

23 minutes ago, Marc Stridgen said:

We can use either. Its for you to tell us on those settings which you wish for us to use

Thanks Marc. When I update the password its 12 digits long, but after saving and re checking it shows 8 'dots' ie inferring the password is 8 digits long. Is this standard or for security or..?

If thats just the way it shows up and we are all good then fine, you should be all good to get in now...🙏

Before we continue, please apply the patch showing in your admin CP, and also disable cloudflare. Once done, please let us know if this is still happening

Patch done 👌

Can I consider turning on “Development Mode” to bypass caching while preserving protection in cloudflare Marc or shall I just pause it in its entirety?

24 minutes ago, Jim M said:

Would recommend pausing entirely as CloudFlare will still enable many other features while in development mode.

Roger that - so thats done.

Patch done and CF paused. Ill report back when I know more...👍

Furthering that its already doing the same issue by reloading the page instead of opening the profile when clicking on the hamburger. If you online and can take a look (before I cache again I guess?) that would be ace...

 

Hi Jim, as per above could this be when I update the password with 12 characters it only shows 8 dots ie inferring the password is wrong or is this just how it shows in invision?

Unfortunately, FTP access is still not valid. Credentials are incorrect.

Before giving you the green light I did ask hosting to check they could get in, and they could...

Just now, Marc Stridgen said:

That is intentional

I see thanks, ill go back to hosting and see where the problem lays with the FTP and come back to you when I have this resolved. Thanks Marc

All the details are correct they have suggested I will need to whitelist your IP?

Or infact to skip that, using FTP enforcer ive disabled it temporarily. Could I ask you one more time to try again...so so sorry about this 😞

..and great timing too - same error occurring! And I cache the system about 10 mins ago too which is worrying

The issue you are have here is coming from your custom theme unfortunately. You can see errors being thrown constantly in your system logs

OK, went to non customised theme. Issues seem to have gone, can I re instate Cloudflare?

Although I am still getting system log errors..
