Hey guys,

I have encountered some weird issues.

NodeBB Version: 1.4.5 (then upgraded to 1.4.6)
Theme: Persona
Issue: Can't purge posts.

Delete:

Purge:

Restore:

No errors or warnings in ./nodebb log

What I have tried but failed:

1. reboot NodeBB
2. disable all plugins
3. restart mondodb
4. reboot VPS
5. git pull && ./nodebb upgrade (from 1.4.5 to 1.4.6)
6. git fetch && git reset --hard origin/v1.x.x

What I have tried but just a workaround:
I found this reply

1. Use Vanilla theme. Now I can delete and purge themes.
2. Uninstall and then reinstall Persona theme.
3. Use Persona theme. The issue remains.

Another issue with Persona theme:

Another bug found when writing this post:

fine

Thanks for GPL license

1. Themes are plugins in NodeBB so I have to install themes as a plugin. I cannot install themes via ACP -> Customize -> Themes -> Install
2. The preview we have is just a picture uploaded by theme creator.We cannot see the real one until we activate the theme then reboot NodeBB.

My suggestion:

1. Separate theme and plugin pages.
   ACP -> Customize -> Themes -> Install
   ACP -> Customize -> Themes -> Uninstall
   ACP -> Customize -> Themes -> Preview
   ACP -> Customize -> Themes -> Apply Theme

2. Real preview without rebooting or waiting for over 5 seconds/theme.

3. Provide filters(style, color, etc)

Is it possible to have a separate theme menu in ACP like WP?

It would be nice if we can preview themes in advance.

How to reproduce:

1. register a normal user account. Let's say the email is abc@example.com
2. insert \b at the beginning of the email string: \babc@example.com

In homepage, there is a piece of javascript :
<script>
var RELATIVE_PATH = "";
var config = JSON.parse('{"relative_path":"","version":"1.4.5","siteTitle":"NodeBB","browserTitle":"NodeBB","titleLayout":"{pageTitle} JSON.parse('{"username":"xxxx","userslug":"xxxx","email":"\babc@example.com", ...
};
</script>

\b won't pass json validator and will cause unexpected behaviors.

Hello,

I know NodeBB itself doesn't handle any https stuff, so the url we set in nginx is http://www.example.com:4567 rather than https://www.example.com:xxxx

Here is the problem: Any image url starts with http will break https , but I want my green lock back.

Will NodeBB add https support in core?

Cheers
Andy
