Hi. I've been lurking for teh anwser and I still don't know it.
Look, I used to have some plugins which I deleted a long time ago. Now I want to upgrade to 1.4, and I have to deactivate everyone of them. It seems deleting files as I did is not enough, as the settings and that stuff is still in the database.
So, is there any way to deactivate these plugins I still don't have? The problem is I don't know which plugins I had.
Thanks. Bye.
I do not think it is possible to deactivate deleted plug ins unless you upload all the plug ins you had, and then deactivate them. I'm not positive though, pretty sure though.
Well I upgraded one forum flawlessly and the second one is a disaster. I deactivated all plugins and now it's all glitchy. It doesn't really matter as I'm going to close the site but I don't want to do any of the others until I can figure out what went wrong with this one.
I am having problems with the side boxes plugin. When I upgraded to 1.4 and then went and reactivated the plugins one at a time, they all worked except for the side boxes. They basically work, but what is happening is that they show on the side and in the forum footer as well.
I did the template compare thing and that was useless. Nothing is changed.
Any hints on where to troubleshoot this? I dont' want to upgrade to the new version just yet and I need to get the forums I am going to close in order so I can save the databases. For some reason restoring them isn't working quite right either. I'm sure I screwed up something somewhere.
Never mind! I found the problem.
Here is what happened and the fix if anyone else has this happen to them:
Open your templates > Index Templates > Index
ALL the stuff in red is a duplicate and needs to be deleted. Do this in all themes you have that show this on the upgrade.
