[object Object] appearing at bottom of front page?

[po]

Hi there!

I'm trying to upgrade our NodeBB server to v0.5.5, and I've managed to install the update (even linking to Solr - nice)!

One strange issue I encountered: the very bottom of our front page has the words:

[object Object]

I assume this is an issue with the theme (I'm using lavender). I vaguely remember seeing something like this appear in the past, but it doesn't appear on our production v0.4.3 deployment.

Have you encountered this before? Is there a known solution?

Thanks!

Sounds like its a widget, is there anything in acp>extend widgets thats placed on footer?

[po]

Thanks for your reply! We don't have any widgets installed. Everything in ACP > Extend > Widgets is blank.

Can you post the output of the following redis commands.

hgetall widgets:global
hgetall widgets:home.tpl
hgetall widgets:category.tpl

Thanks for asking! Here's what I get:

127.0.0.1:6379> hgetall widgets:global
1) "footer"
2) "[{\"widget\":\"html\",\"data\":{\"html\":\"<footer id=\\\"footer\\\" class=\\\"container footer\\\">\\r\\n\\t<div class=\\\"copyright\\\">\\r\\n\\t\\tCopyright \xc2\xa9 2014 <a target=\\\"_blank\\\" href=\\\"https://www.nodebb.com\\\">NodeBB Forums</a> | <a target=\\\"_blank\\\" href=\\\"//github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/graphs/contributors\\\">Contributors</a>\\r\\n\\t</div>\\r\\n</footer>\",\"title\":\"\",\"container\":\"\"}}]"
3) "sidebar"
4) "[]"
5) "drafts"
6) "[]"
127.0.0.1:6379> hgetall widgets:home.tpl

Looks like there is a global footer in the database but you say it doesn't show up in the ACP. So maybe there is a bug there.

You can remove the global footer manually with

hset widgets:global footer ""

Awesome - it worked!

Is the widget essentials plugin installed and activated? That may be what is going on as well.

This is from the default footer HTML widget (with the NodeBB copyright text). I had the same problem, along with a handful of other weird behaviors after upgrading and I believe it was due to cached versions of the client side script files.

@julian Widget-essentials was uninstalled. I was trying to make the basic upgrade work.
