    Versions etc:
    NodeJS - 6.11.1
    NodeBB - 1.5.2
    NPM - 5.3.0
    Redis - 4.0.0
    CentOS - 6.9

    I seem to have a problem with the composer-default plugin. I cannot create or reply to posts.

    NodeBB logs show the following warning:

    "[plugins/load] The following plugins may not be compatible with your version of NodeBB. This may cause unintended behaviour or crash$

    • nodebb-plugin-composer-default"

    When I click "New Topic", I see the following error in the console:

    "nodebb.min.js:1 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of null
    at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> (nodebb.min.js:1)
    at l (nodebb.min.js:1)
    at u (nodebb.min.js:1)"

    Any idea what the problem is? I've tried reloading / restarting / building NodeBB without success.

    That's not your NodeBB version, that's your Node.js version. What is your NodeBB version?

    @pitaj Sorry yes, was on autopilot.

    NodeBB version is 1.5.2, have edited the original OP for clarity.

    What version is nodebb-plugin-composer-default?

    Try these things:

    • npm install
    • ./nodebb build
    • Try resetting extra plugins

    Composer version is 5.0.2.

    No change unfortunately after those steps. Once I'd reset plugins I just re-enabled composer to test but the same issue persists.

    Still battling with this issue. Seems likely it's to do with the version mismatch for composer vs NodeBB, as advised in the logs.

    Not really sure why there would be a version mismatch on a plugin which (as far as I know) is bundled with the NodeBB install. If it is the wrong version I'm not sure which is the right one either.

    @btc What branch of the git repository are you on? git status should say "On branch [branch name]". Try running git pull, then ./nodebb upgrade and restart.

    @pitaj Sorry for the delay, I wasn't getting reply notifications.

    I'm on the master branch of the git repository.

    Git pull gives an error: "error: Your local changes to 'package.json' would be overwritten by merge. Aborting."

    I haven't made any changes to that file.

    The issue still exists following ./nodebb upgrade.

    @btc npm install --save modifies package.json, so that's probably what changed it. Run git reset --hard origin/master to both reset package.json and to pull the latest changes on the master branch.

    Thanks so much, that has worked and I can now post new topics and replies.

    However I now have another issue but I think it's unrelated so will start a new thread.
