Missing texts after upgrade

[glennl]

Hello,

I just converted my forums from 1.1.11 to 2.0 RC3, but after the upgrade I'm missing a lot of texts, especially in the admin panel and the dropdown boxes in the header of the default theme. Also, the title of my forums only says "- Index" and doesn't show my forum name.

I checked the language files and they have been updated to the latest version. I'm using UTF-8.

Anyone can tell me what I can do about it?

Thanks!

Were you using a custom theme before the upgrade?  If so, switch to default (Curve) and see if this changes things.  Custom themes for 1.1.11 won't function correctly with RC3.  If this is not the case, try changing your forum default language to English, rather than UTF-8 (just temporarily, to see if this has any effect).

I was using a custom theme indeed with 1.1.11, but now I'm using the SMF default theme (core) and missing a lot of texts.
Can you give me the path I should follow to set my forum default language to English instead? I can't navigate without the texts

Actually, the default theme for RC3 is "Curve".  Core is the old default theme for 1.1.11.   

Try adding this after "index.php" in your forum's url, to see if you can access languages:

?action=admin;area=languages

Thanks for the suggestions. Tried a few languages, but nothing is changing...

Could it be that I'm missing the core theme (curve)?
Can I delete my core theme and re-add it?

Thanks!

Did your upgrade go smoothly, glenni? 

I think, the first thing I would do is repeat the process, just to make sure that no steps were omitted.  I would make sure that the zip I'd downloaded for the upgrade was actually RC3's "Large Upgrade".  Then I would unzip it and, using an ftp application (such as "Filezilla" or "Fetch") I would open the folder inside the zip and move all the files inside to my forum's folder on my server (making sure that the files are uploaded as ASCII, not binary).  That's files as ASCII, not images. Then I would make all files and directories writable (755 for folders and 644 for files) and move the upgrade.php and all the included sql files found in the zip's root folder to my forum's folder, point to upgrade.php and try the upgrade again.

I was pretty sure everything went ok during the upgrade.
I will re-upload my backup and try again later!

Thanks!

If repeating the file upload and upgrade doesn't sort it, let us know, glenni.

after changing language files, always clear your FORUMcache
