Hi,

The search icon on the home page has disappeared after upgrading to 3.4.1

It pops up in topics but only when the page gets scrolled. As soon as the scroll reaches the top it disappears again. Only the “magnifying glass” icon

Wandering if anyone experienced this issue before and if there is a fix without having to rebuild the image.

Thanks

That’s not the latest. Did you mean 3.5.0 beta 1?

Do you have any custom themes / theme components / plugins etc that could be interfering with your site? If so, try safe mode.

Thanks ondrej,
We have had unfortunate experiences going to the beta releases, so are currently on 3.4.1 until the next stable release. Are we better off upgrading from 3.4.1 to a later beta release?
No custom themes or plugins, everything seems to be default apart from some CSS settings.
Thanks for reminding about safe-mode, unfortunately the same issue in the safe mode.

Also forgot to mention, that the issue cannot be replicated on mobile devices, only happens in desktop mode.

Some icons not showing up after upgrade - #11 by Aaron_B
This happened to someone a couple of months ago. [1] Maybe try the solution?

  1. on 3.4.0.beta2-dev, and yes I’m aware it is a different version ↩︎

I took a look at his forum and it isn’t very clear.

His current Discourse version is supposed to be:

Discourse v3.4.1 — https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/25a8e64a53

Using Ember Inspector, I can see

However, showSearchButton has been introduced recently alongside a new search_experience site settings. It’s not part of the stable version yet, unless I’m wrong (?).

The setting returns nothing:

But once we do set manually a value, the icon appears:

Did you downgrade at some point from the latest to the stable version? It’s confusing, not sure what’s happening.

Hi Arkshine,
That’s actually quite possible. I just spoke to the system admin who has performed an upgrade which went to the latest beta version 3.5.0-beta2-dev, and since we didn’t want any more beta versions moving forward, we changed to look at stable repository for future stable releases.
We however do not recall deploying 3.4.1 manually which must have happened on its own and resulted in downgrade to this version.
Is there any way to either fix the current issue with the search icon as this seems to be the only reported problem or are we better off to handle it differently to be on the safe side and do a setup/rebuild to a specific version?
