Hi, tonight I updated two of my sites, and I am unable to create a topic when not in safe mode and on desktop (works on mobile though), looks like the composer opens up hidden, sometimes it is visible when moving the page down but then deseapears. Happens of two of my sites, the third works normally. My console : Thanks for your ideas. [image]

Perhaps disable plugins one by one and test it? Then the exact plugin can be ascertained.

Yeah, can be a tough task but I will have to resolve doing that…

I disabled plugins that gave an error in console but to no avail.

Could it be themes or components?

Yeah it’s possible. I have so many of them, will be a chore to disable them one by one…

No longer able to create a topic since updating my sites
