Format editor and smileys are gone!

1- do not use the full install. That will overwrite things that you don't want overwritten.

2- you could... although you'd have to go change all of the settings, paths and urls to point to your new location and you'd lose all of your avatars and attachments.

I did a full upgrade and the format editor is still gone.

I now can no longer search my site for info without getting a database error (picture above).

I don't know what else to do.

I didn't know if I change the name of the old folder on the my webhost server and then create a new folder with the same name and install to there, if I could set it up to attach to the database with all things there?

When you "inspect element" browser-side, do you see remnants of the code? What's your URL, I'll check for you

Hey Study Force,

I just sent you a PM.

Let me know if you are willing to look.

Thanks!

Could any of this be because I updated my PHP to 7.2?

[Biology Forums]

Ok, so it has nothing to do with PHP.

I'm assuming it's a bug. I logged in, made such WYSIWYG editor was enabled. All settings related to WYSIWYG editor are checked, yet for some reason it's not appearing. It has to be a bug related to 2.1.

any errors in the browser console?

[Biology Forums]

A second suggestion would be to find a random theme, install it, and see if the WYSIWYG editor appears.

any errors in the browser console?

I'm assuming it might be the SCEditor

[djoos5]

Any thoughts on why the database cannot be accessed by the search function?

Thanks!

[Biology Forums]

I don't think it has anything to do with the database either

Database is accessed via cpanel

[djoos5]

So I am thinking about just starting a new forum board. Do you think I should go through the trouble of moving all the active pieces over to a new forum, or are these challenges fixable?

Again, thanks for your help!

[djoos5]

Okay - following your advice, I added a 2.1 RC1 compatible theme to the board and nothing has happened. The Post Editor is still not present, so I am defaulting to your idea it might be a bug.

Is there a way I can RESIGN in to the database, as it appears to be asking?

Thanks!

[djoos5]

I just did a brand new build and here is the result (picture attached).

Is this a database issue now? Do I need to create an all new database? Is it possible the new installer package is broken?

I can't explain this at all. I have two boards - this one which I run for my office and another that I use for gaming. The gaming board is running great - all of my mods (none of which I do for my business board) working great!

Thanks for the help!

[Kindred]

no... that issue is not a database issue.

it means that your theme paths and urls are incorrect.

[djoos5]

Thank you! I corrected this challenge on the new board, but still no Post Editor on a brand new install.

Also, if I do a search on the new forum it gives me the same database error - so I either have a corrupted database, or there is some setting I need to update to give the forum software permission to access the data...which it seems it does seeing as you can see the posts!

Anyway, I will wait a little longer for any advice before I just create a new database on my web server and build the site one more time.

Thanks everyone!
