Hi, anyone clicking my Terms of Service, FAQ or Privacy pages just gets a blank page with a permanently spinning ‘busy’ pointer. How do I correct this? How do I make this information available and bring it to the attention to any potential user who visits the site url, but has yet to sign up for p…

[image] Paul_King: Can anyone please advise how to reinstate the built in legal topics and IDs (or even just put blank editable posts at the correct /original urls for each built-in legal topic), via postgres, or otherwise? OK, looks like nobody can help with this. Would recreating the forum…

[image] Paul_King: Or would restoring the backup just propagate the deletions again? I think that it would sorry. Somewhere in that database is the little bit of data that you must change to make those posts appear once more. Here in fact: In the ‘topics’ table, deleted_at will have a times…

[image] nathank: In the ‘topics’ table, deleted_at will have a timestamp for ID 4, 5, and 6. If you can delete these (replace with nothing / blank) then you will be back in business. Thanks Nathan. Sadly, I set myself up following the official tutorial, with little comprehension. I did have…
