I have edited my help documents in the ACP, but since the upgrade to 1.8 my edits do not show. Is this a bug in 1.8? How to fix it?
I'm running 1.8.3 and a compatible 1.8 theme (Square).
Default help documents or your own?
Have you them at admin cp but they don't show on forum or they are deleted?
I have edited the default help documents in the acp panel but they show up unedited with the original default wording.
Are you checked them at language files?
Admin cp -> configuration -> languages -> button options -> edit language variables
check helpdocs.lang.php
Should that be necessary? This is what I've done:

ACP->Config->Help Documents. You can then Add, Delete, or Edit entries already listed.
It seems my edits were overwritten in the language files when I upgraded to 1.8, but I have since cached the edits which still remain in Configuration/Help Documents/Manage Help Documents, but nothing happens. The default version remains.
Has anyone successfully edited the default help documents in the Configuration section since the upgrade to 1.8?
I had this on an upgrade in the 1.6 series and I was furious
I ended up disabling all the default help docs and replacing them with custom ones as those don't get overridden. That would be my advice - disable the defaults and add your own.
1.8 upgrades changes all documents to use translations, no idea why. You can do one of these:
- remove the translated doc strings
- change the
usetranslation column in mybb_helpdocs table in your database to
0
- wait for a more userfriendly checkbox that is planned to be added to MyBB core for each doc:
