Im testing a Discourse as a community solution.
After setting up simple theme - just colors + fonts
and installed plugin [GitHub - discourse/discourse-rss-polling · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-rss-polling)
created some categories and topics - this error blew up.

Tried different browsers. Also tried ./launcher rebuild app, also removed plugins app.yml and dictionary.

Which browser/version have you tried?
Would you mind posting a link to your site?

Can you check the Brave and Safari versions? If you’re not sure, take a look at [https://www.whatsmybrowser.org/](https://www.whatsmybrowser.org/)

I suspect that Cloudflare’s “optimization” tools are breaking Discourse’s Javascript code. Please can you check that “Rocket Loader” is turned off in your cloudflare config.
More info on Cloudflare best practices [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-discourse-with-cloudflare-best-practices/293405#best-practices-3).

Also please make sure you have “Auto Minify” disabled. It looks like Cloudflare have deprecated this feature because of incompatibility with recent javascript features:
Looks like you will need to purge your cache after doing that.
