Querying mongodb,
I had a stray category 15 that looked like the following:
{
"_id" : ObjectId("56bd923fc113b09c466f9055"),
"_key" : "category:15",
"parentCid" : 0
}
I removed that entry from mongo and now the API returns a 'NULL' at the end of my categories API.
Is there something else I should delete?
I think things got really funky because I originally installed v0.8 but went to v0.7. We then upgraded to 0.8 and 0.9.
This is what it looks like when I disabled all my existing categories and added two test ones on v1.0. You can see I somehow have a negative post count on an empty category and the phantom one is there. It has no entry in the admin page and I've reordered these test categories up and down and inside/out. I cannot do the same for the phantom one.
Here is another screenshot in our dev environment.
The API json looks like the following:
{
"title": "[[pages:categories]]",
"categories": [
{
"cid": 79,
"name": "test2",
"description": "",
"icon": "fa-comments",
"bgColor": "#DC9656",
"color": "#fff",
"slug": "79/test2",
"parentCid": 0,
"topic_count": 0,
"post_count": 0,
"disabled": false,
"order": 10,
"link": "",
"numRecentReplies": 1,
"class": "col-md-3 col-xs-6",
"imageClass": "cover",
"undefined": "on",
"descriptionParsed": "",
"totalPostCount": 0,
"totalTopicCount": 0,
"unread-class": "",
"children": [],
"posts": []
},
{
"cid": 78,
"name": "test",
"description": "",
"icon": "fa-comments",
"bgColor": "#BA8BAF",
"color": "#fff",
"slug": "78/test",
"parentCid": 0,
"topic_count": -20,
"post_count": -126,
"disabled": false,
"order": 11,
"link": "",
"numRecentReplies": 1,
"class": "col-md-3 col-xs-6",
"imageClass": "cover",
"undefined": "on",
"descriptionParsed": "",
"totalPostCount": -126,
"totalTopicCount": -20,
"unread-class": "unread",
"children": [],
"posts": []
},
{
"parentCid": 0,
"name": "",
"icon": "hidden",
"unread-class": "unread",
"children": [],
"totalPostCount": 0,
"totalTopicCount": 0,
"posts": []
}
],
"breadcrumbs": [
{
"text": "[[global:home]]",
"url": "/"
},
{
"text": "[[pages:categories]]"
}
],
"loggedIn": false,
"relative_path": "",
"template": {
"name": "categories",
"categories": true
},
"bodyClass": "page-categories"
}
Our nodebb has a phantom category that seems to appear at the bottom of all our categories. When inspecting, it has no CID but shows up in each theme. This is from our API view of categories for the category:
{"parentCid":0,"name":"","icon":"hidden","unread-class":"unread","children":[],"totalPostCount":0,"totalTopicCount":0,"posts":[]}],"title":"[[pages:categories]]","breadcrumbs":[{"text":"[[global:home]]","url":"/"},{"text":"[[pages:categories]]"}],"loggedIn":false,"relative_path":"","template":{"name":"categories","categories":true},"bodyClass":"page-categories"}
Any help will be much appreciated!

I've already tried to go straight from 0.7.3 -> 0.9.0 with success. Plugin support hasn't caught up yet though.
@pichalite , I'm using a 2nd instance of nodebb, with a 2nd mongodb instance. I first upgraded my plugins to the latest, ran ./nodebb upgrade while on 0.7.3
I then:
git checkout v0.8.x
git pull (just in case)
./nodebb upgrade
running in dev mode just crashes and relaunches when hitting the categories page. When I first installed the forum, I was using v0.8.0 and switched to v.7.x since the plugin support wasn't updated yet.
I am using the Vanilla theme and it upgraded to 4.0.8 after switching to v0.8.2
Hello,
I am attempting a test to upgrade from 0.7.3 to 0.8.2, however, whenever I visit my categories page, the app throws an error like below:

I'm able to actually upgrade from 0.7.3 to 0.9.0 with none of these errors. What should I do, without losing my categories and all their posts?
Thank you, but I tried to install locally and it does not appear under 'Plugins'. Is it safe to rollback from v0.8.0 to v0.7.3?
Another thing that caught me by surprise was that I no longer see the custom pages plugin by @psychobunny probably because it hasn't been updated yet for v0.8.x
Is there a best way to test out new releases and installed plugins besides cloning the directory and starting a 2nd instance on a different port?
Thanks!
I haven't seen any release notes and when v0.8.0 released, I could no longer log in. Since I was starting from scratch I just created a brand new installation from v0.8.0 but it left me weary about jumping the gun to upgrade to the newest.
I looked in the announcements and the latest I see is for v0.7.3 but I'm currently on v0.8.0 and it's asking me to upgrade to v0.8.1.
I actually curious though if v0.8.x has been deemed stable or not? I used to see a lot of plugins to install on v0.7.x and I'm thinking of rolling back in order to have those functionality again. I just began looking into nodebb right before v0.8.x was available.
