Good evening, Am I missing something here? It doesn’t seem to have an option anymore for updates on the forum to see the latest versions of upgrades, and I’ve looked everywhere. <a class="lightbox" href="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/b/2/8/b28a2428fc17ffe7a044a8042a2752cbe709f7c4.jpeg" data-download-href="/uploads/short-url/ptqXgSuBbgHKSQgHggOCCUzXBCA.jpeg?dl=1" title="A dark-themed GUI interface displaying a navigation sidebar with options like Dashboard, Users, Search, Groups, All site settings, and What's new?

If you go to https://yoursite/admin/update what do you see? Are you logged in as admin or mderator? Only admins can update discourse. There was an issue last summer when the button disappeared in some locales, but that was fixed and I think is unrelated to what you are experiencing.

Are you in safe mode ? If so, docker (which provides the update interface) is also disabled. And just to confirm your problem is not related to last year’s locale issue.. is Default locale set to “English (US)”?

No, it wasn’t in safe mode , but I have tried that too. As you explained, it wouldn’t have worked. I do have some catching up to do on updates, as it’s been like this for a few weeks, so I will update and get back to this topic if it is resolved.

Are you missing Docker Manager from your plugins? You need this for the update UI to be included. [image] GitHub - discourse/docker_manager: Plugin for use with discourse docker image Plugin for use with discourse docker image [image] …

It’s been some time since I’ve been in the DigitalOcean console! Ha But I do have this plugin installed. [The image displays a script instructing to clone a series of repositories using Git from GitHub, each related to a Discord course. (Captioned by AI)]

And the default locale? What about the locale in your own user prefs?

Something strange is happening here; I don’t have a logout button, either. I think I may have an issue with a plugin or component.

[image] tobiaseigen: And the default locale Because no one tells you what the locale is, I can give you one example. Default is fi. Mine is same, and I have Update Discourse in the menu. Then I tried change my own to English (UK) and English (US) and I still had that Update Discourse there. …

Hi @tobiaseigen ,

I can access it this way, but I don’t see the update button in the sidebar. I will check if something is missing after an update.
