So the upgrade did not go entirely smoothly. I set the site to read-only, powered down, did a full machine snapshot, powered back up and then tried to upgrade. But the Click here to upgrade link did not do anything. So then I manually went to admin/upgrade and upgraded Docker which went ok, and then upgraded Discourse which failed, with among other messages:

> $ bundle install --deployment --jobs 4 --without test development  
> [DEPRECATED] The `--deployment` flag is deprecated because it relies on being remembered across bundler invocations, which bundler will no longer do in future versions. Instead please use `bundle config set --local deployment 'true'`, and stop using this flag

> Docker Manager: FAILED TO UPGRADE  
> #\<RuntimeError: RuntimeError\>

So then I logged in and did the manual upgrade, git pull / launcher rebuild app and that seems to have worked and got me back up and running.

I turned off read-only mode, but now no editor preview shows to the right of the Reply/New Message editor - the area just remains blank white.

Any suggestions as to how to figure out why the preview is not displaying?

The only plugins I have are discourse-mark and discourse-solved.

Not sure why discourse-mark doesn’t have a tick. Perhaps I should try removing and/or reinstalling that (if that’s a good idea, a pointer to how to do that would be helpful).

Thanks.

[Discourse Mark Plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-mark-plugin/93059) is not an official plugin so won’t have the green tick. It has also been deprecated as mark is now supported in core. 👍

I’m not sure if removing that will sort out your issue, but it may be a good place to start.

You could also try [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) and see if disabling themes and/or plugins helps narrow it down. 🤞

Disabling the Mark plugin and rebuilding again seems to have resolved the issue, and seems like disabling it is a good idea anyway.

Hopefully everything else works out now!

Thanks.

That’s fantastic 🙂 🎉

I missed this before, but just in case you need it, if you want to remove it completely you would edit your `app.yml` in pretty much the reverse of [Install plugins on a self-hosted site](https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-plugins-in-discourse/19157) 👍
