My install seems to be missing something?!

I'd guess that you have a very rare problem: your server doesn't provide the info needed by the .htaccess file and you need to replace your current .htaccess: https://open.vanillaforums.com/discussion/comment/259810/#Comment_259810

Does it work with another theme?

Did you make any changes?

Did it work before?

body.hasRichEditor .richEditor-frame {
display: none;
}

would result in the text-body field not showing

1. Check if you have pretty urls enabled (search the forum for RewriteUrls)

2. See if there are any Javascript errors on the console

Do not know but suspect pretty URLs are enabled because I installed Vanilla's .htaccess
Many errors (screen shot). Looks like it has not been tested with Apple Safari?

Not tried any other themes - what we are looking at is a vanilla install of Vanilla.
One. I am using a web host without php_intl.dll and I blatted the library call with a crude $displayName = "English";
This is a first install. There are a few niggles.

Edit: The edit function on open.vanillaforums.com has a bug where it scrolls to the wrong post.

Hi Kasper,

To me the whole Pretty Url thing feels off-topic. Why would pretty urls impact CSS or JS rendering of the textbox?

In either case the subdomain that I created points directly to the folder that contains Vanilla, so I suspect the BaseUrl should be "/". What can I do to test that Pretty Url is working correctly?

My view is that the unexpected '<' in "api/v2/locales/translations.js" stems from the '<!DOCTYPE...' at the start of index.php following "Redirect any non existing file/directory to /index.php" as specified in the .htaccess .... Is it supposed to redirect somewhere else?

My PHP configuration:

Open a discussion on your forum.

Take a look at the URL

It has

/index.php?p=/

In it

So pretty urls are not active, which is a requirement

Note that you also need

$Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = TRUE;

in /conf/config.php

Arte · July 2020

I have that line, so you think my webhost might have mod_rewrite disabled? :(

Kaspar · July 2020

I think you did not clear /cache when you did the changes.

It look as pretty urls are active now, was not 5 minutes ago

Kaspar · July 2020

you are on PHP 7.2 - can't you go higher?

Arte · July 2020

That is right! Now I understand what pretty url does :)

However, as none of the pretty URLs point to actual files, all requests currently redirect to index.php

different content in trans.js

here on vanillaforums

The way your forum acts when opening a discussion or login/register menu - seems the same issue I had some time ago - ended up being a PHP issue - that is why I directed you at your currently used PHP version.
