Hi guys,
I just upgraded to 1.7.0.beta8 via automatic install and although the upgrade seemed to have gone well, the site now comes up with a blank front page. That is: _The header is visible and so is the settings panel, but there are no posts and categories displayed._
All content is there (reachable via het search menu and the “hamburger” menu).
Under “Basic Settings” I had the “top menu” set up so that it displayed the **categories** first.
Any thoughts as to what could have gone wrong and how to get the front page content back?
Thanks!

This is how it looks (notifications menu expanded)

Hi Joshua,
I tried your suggestion and got into [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) with all three options enabled. Alas the site still comes up blank.
Anything else I could try?
This is the site’s URL: [https://community.niederlaendisch-fuer-deutsche.de](https://community.niederlaendisch-fuer-deutsche.de)

I’ve also tried to reset the default language to English (It’s normally set to German) but that doesn’t make a difference.

I have this same problem after upgrading [https://forum.pololu.com](https://forum.pololu.com) I’ll try to provide more debugging info as I look into the issue. The content is also missing in [Safe Mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) with everything turned off.

Disabling my “customize” styles and html did not help to show the content on the front page.

Same here. It was blind luck I found the Basic Setup:top menu reset button. It seems to be working now. It appeared to just change the order of the items slightly.

Yep, same workaround found here. I had the Categories page as the first one. If I change it back to having Categories first, it is blank again. Going to the Categories page works okay if it isn’t the first one.

I also now see nothing under bulk actions from the main page. If I “select all” the bulk actions popup says how many are selected but no other actions are offered?

Same here @ryantm.
Thanks @mntbighker for the workaround.

Probably this should be a separate topic. I see the same problem.

Too bad you can’t add the “bugs” tag.

I could put it in the _bug_ category though.

Sorry about that. It was broken for default categories page in master. I have a fix building now that should be in tests-passed shortly:

Thanks @eviltrout. It’s good to know that a fix is on its way.
