I have created a custom design for the homepage for my sites. But after the latest update, I see that the homepage looks like Discourse’s default design with the list view. The custom work is gone. The custom header is also gone. How do I rectify this?

Have you had a look in the theme admin to see which theme is set to be the default?

Thank you for your response. Yes, the custom theme is the default one. The custom colour, search banner etc, look ok. But the way I had designed the home page is gone. I had boxes within the page that lead users to the right categories. Also, I had custom header links. Now the Header looks plain.

Do you see any errors in the browser console?

we saw a redis issue. once we fixed that, we were able to run the updates. but no error related to this.

yes, we have followed the official install process only. The redis issue is fixed. I have 3 dev instances. only on one, I saw the redis issue when updating. we were able to figure out why and we fixed it. The second one on Azure didn’t throw the redis issue. The updates ran smoothly. But when I refr…

These are additional components to our theme. We custom-made some components. But the homepage works are gone with the 3.6.0.beta2-latest. We updated from 3.5.0.beta9-dev. I’m not sure what caused it to break. We can run the updates from the backend, but tf there is a way to roll back to another ver…

Perhaps a silly question, but can you take a look at your own user preferences, on the interface tab? There have been some changes recently with how themes and color palettes are managed in Discourse. You should see the same theme and use theme defaults for light and dark mode. [Screenshot 2025-10…
