Technical Support
  • Upon start-up I get the following error trace:

  • @countach try disabling this plugin... nodebb-plugin-save-plugins

  • @pichalite thanks, that worked.

  • @countach report the issue on the plugins repository so the plugin dev can fix it. https://github.com/Telokis/nodebb-plugin-save-plugins

  • @pichalite sure. It seems something else might be off. I'm now getting this trace when logged in as admin:

    warn: [deprecated] Accessing stylesheet.css from "/" is deprecated. Use "/assets/stylesheet.css" to access this file.
    warn: [deprecated] Accessing nodebb.min.js from "/" is deprecated. Use "/assets/nodebb.min.js" to access this file.

  • @countach that's nothing to be worried about for now. It's something that needs to be taken care of on the theme's end. Post an issue on the theme's repository.
