Edited to add details: I have just logged in to our community at ifutures.discourse.group and am seeing the page display in a really strange way that I have never seen before. I am guessing that this is a problem with the sublime theme we use to display the search box at the top of the page, but there don’t appear to be any errors flagged in the admin settings. The “welcome” banner, search box and menu are getting displayed twice, as the screenshot below shows. This is done through the Sublime theme, which has the search banner component installed. The theme is installed as a remote theme, not local. Appears to have updated overnight, and I presume this may have caused the problem(?) Can anyone advise, please? Thanks!

looks like you forgot to re-enable the Sublime theme itself (which is probably why your font wasn’t correct either). I re-enabled it for you and your site appears to work fine with the original search banner. [Screenshot 2025-04-25 at 6.23.16 AM]

I think it’s this local component that you have installed. Can you disable that component and try?

Otherwise, you may use the Enable welcome banner setting to create a basic search banner on your site.

Thanks, Lilly. It seems to be the search banner in the component, which I have disabled for now. I’ll check this out in more detail later today.

I tested your site and the clickable topic is throwing errors in the console. [Screenshot 2025-04-24 at 9.02.31 AM] If you want to use the banner component instead of the new enable_welcome_banner setting, to get the title you used to have, it still works. I tested it too (with clickable-topic disabled): [Screenshot 2025-04-24 at 9.17.21 AM] As I said before, disabling the non-official clickable-topic component fixes your site.

Thank you, Lilly. I have disabled the clickable-topic component, and enabled the Search banner component again. This previews almost correctly (the blippo font doesn’t display in the theme preview for some reason) but the search bar does not appear at the top of the page (I have cleared the browser cache). I don’t see any errors in the console (second screenshot).

Lilly, I am so grateful to you. Thank you so much!
