Problem accessing plugin admin after restore

Product Support

AI-generated summary

A user, efeefe, is experiencing issues accessing the admin panel of the RSS Poster plugin after restoring a backup from another instance. The plugin seems to be working fine, importing feeds, but the configuration page returns a blank page.

efeefe found error messages in the logs and attempted to resolve the issue by changing the domain name, but was unsuccessful. pfaffman suggested the plugin might be incompatible with the current Discourse version and pfaffman later pointed out that the plugin hasn’t been updated in a year.

efeefe decided to give up on resolving the issue and will instead use the chat-integration plugin to achieve similar results.

Hi everyone. I have recently set up a discourse instance using Digital Ocean’s setup script. Apparently all went fine. I then restored a backup from another instance I had de-activated about 4 months ago. It was originally hosted on another domain name. Again, the restore seemed to work - contents and user accounts look about right.

In the original website, I had the RSS Poster plugin installed. I added it to the app.yml and apparently it started working straight away - importing items from the feeds I had previously set up. But I can not access the plugin config anymore (at /admin/plugins/rss-poster/feeds), in order to edit the feeds it’s currently importing. I’m only shown a blank page when I try to access it.

Any clues?

The plugin might not be compatible with the current discourse?

Did you follow this Change the domain name or rename my Discourse?

Thanks for the pointer. Just tried it here, to no avail. Found some error messages in logs, though:

That plugin hasn’t been updated in a year. If you remove it, does the admin panel show up again?

Admin panel is working fine. But I’m giving up for the time being and will try to use the chat-integration plugin to achieve somewhat similar results. Thanks anyway.
