When attempting to list the /users pages - the list doesn’t populate:

@sam - as you’ll see in the console output, there is a reference to `stickFooter()` - I have already removed that plugin, but is this related do you think ?

How did you remove it? From your app.yml and with a `./launcher rebuild app` or some other way? As that plugin is most definitely the reason. Be sure to do a CTRL+F5 to remove any browser cache after you’ve removed the plugin too.

Yes, I removed the plugin repo from app.yml and then ran a `./launcher rebuild app` . Cache is cleared however issue persists:

Are you sure your app.yml saved? As that rebuild should have cleaned that up…

Yes, app.yml did save:

```
## Plugins go here
## see https://meta.discourse.org/t/19157 for details
hooks:
  after_code:
    - exec:
        cd: $home/plugins
        cmd:
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-slack-official.git

Any chance CloudFlare is caching the javascript heavily and making it seem like it is still active?

Sorry, I should have saved time by stating that I’ve paused cloudflare and cleared its entire cache.

To recap steps taken so far:

- removed plugin: [GitHub - scossar/discourse-sticky-footer: make a custom footer sticky in a Discourse forum · GitHub](https://github.com/scossar/discourse-sticky-footer) from app.yml
- rebuilt with `./launcher rebuild app`
- cleared browser cache
- disabled cloudflare, cleared cloudflare cache

→ no change

**EDIT** there was some leftover JS from that plugin in the body section in site settings \> customize which I’ve removed.  
Now the issue persists but now there is No errors in the console for /users page

Seems to be working for me now.

Are you still seeing issues?

Just did the following:

```
./launcher stop
./launcher start
./launcher rebuild app

```

All seems to be normal again at this point.
