Live website not updating/reflecting the changes

@Zyklome,

To complement the comments from @hughbris

I was able to create a clone of a website and get it to work but I’m now facing issues with accessing Grav admin.

According one of the images you’ve shared, the site is using plugins which might cause problems in Admin:

  • Admin Power Tools - last update Dec 2020
  • Core Service Manager - last update Dec 2020
  • Editor - last update Dec 2020 (requires Admin Power Tools + Core Service Manager)
  • Admin Addon User Manager - last update May 2021 (requires Admin Power Tools)
    According the creator of the plugin the plugin is no longer needed when using Grav 1.7.x

A comment from the lead developer of Grav on plugin Admin Power Tools:

BTW, it’s quite likely that all these errors stem from the “admin-power-tools” plugin which is a 3rd party plugin that has not been updated since 2019 and we dont’ recommend using as it messes with the core admin plugin.

Probably removing that plugin plus any of it’s associated plugins would solve your messages issue.

In response to that comment, a user responds:

it has worked, after disabling ‘Admin Power Tools’ and ‘Editor’

I have no idea if above plugins are causing issues on your site, but disabling these plugins and testing your site might be worth a try.

I’ve read here that I should rename the domain folder inside of /user/ but there’s no user/env/ or user/domain.com/ folder inside of my Grav installation.

The default location for configs is /user/config. Folders /user/domain.com/config/ and /user/dev/domain.com/config do not need to exists. For further info, read the docs on Environment Configuration.

Some further notes:

  • Upgrading Grav to its latest version and not upgrading plugins might also cause issues.
  • Just to take into consideration: Updating/fixing/upgrading an existing production website is not quite the best playground to learn Grav and might not be in the best interest of the client…
