We have been getting a warning [subject], and I’m unclear where it’s coming from. There’s a similar error on console: DEPRECATION NOTICE: `htmlSafe` from ‘discourse/helpers/html-safe’ is deprecated. Use `trustHTML` from ‘@ember/template’ instead. [deprecated since Discourse 2026.3.0] [deprecation …

Update: Going to the forum admin web panel, looking for “versatile” pulled up the component, and I was able to update it from there and that cleared the message. Thanks to all for their help.

There should be a link to the theme component that’s causing the error. Discourse_docker is not the problem. [image] rbos: I searched for “htmlSafe” in the plugins and themes folders; Not sure what you’re talking about; the themes live in the database, not the filesystem, so you can’t search…

While it seems likely that an outdated component also causes the other messages, why do we know there is no other componen…

Strange. A find in the Discourse folder in the Docker container doesn’t catch a “theme-14” directory. I don’t know where that’s getting pulled in, then. I did of course see those deprecation notices, but the only one that mentioned “html-safe” was the one mentioned above.

Very interesting that it lives in the database, thanks. I am not deeply familiar with Discourse and I had assumed the theme would be in the filesystem. This is software that I touch once a year, if that. :slight_smile: (and to be clear, I am appreciative of how (mostly) bulletproof Discourse has b…
