Hello, Hoping someone might be able to help here. For context, I’ve picked up the current forum from a previous agency and I’ve not worked in Discourse prior to this week. I need to make a modification to the theme (to fix the id:discourse.component-template-resolving notice). I’ve followed the …

[이미지] hdng: I thought possibly it could be the API permissions, but if I’m connected and the scopes in admin/api/keys/settings are correct and present, then surely it can’t be? I remember something similar that was still an API problem: can you check the setting of your API key, it has to be …

Location may vary, but have you taken a look at your ~/.discourse_theme file? I’ve run into an issue before where my terminal emulator was using “bracketed paste mode” You can see the difference below (these aren’t real keys, I’ve truncated them for sharing)… if you see something like the first en…

Hi Kris, Thanks for the reply, I hadn’t thought of that! I checked my discourse_theme file, and while the API key was formed properly, the file itself does look a bit malformed, compared to other examples I’ve seen (including yours). Should be worth noting that I’m on macOS here and this was the …
