[SOLVED] Admin area errors

Never noticed this before but today on the admin area I cannot edit Pages/ Forms etc. when I try to edit a section or form or pages I get something along this: Pages ( text on a plain white background and no editable area

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang=”<txp:lang />” dir=”<txp:text item=“lang_dir” />”> <head> <!— Google tag (gtag.js) —> <script async src=“https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-KL7RQ3KDY8”></script> <script> window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} gtag(‘js’, new Date()); gtag(‘config’, ‘G-KL7RQ3KDY8’); </script> <meta charset=“utf-8”> <meta name=“viewport” content=“width=device-width, initial-scale=1, viewport-fit=cover”> <title><txp:page_title /></title> <!— CSS —> <!— <txp:css format=“link” media=”“ /> —> <!— …or you can use (faster) external CSS files e.g. <link rel=“stylesheet” href=”<txp:page_url type=“theme_path” />/styles/default.css”> —> <link href=”/assets/css/default.css” rel=“stylesheet” type=“text/css” /> <link href=”/assets/css/default-override.css” rel=“stylesheet” type=“text/css” /> <meta name=“generator” content=“Textpattern CMS”> <txp:if_search> <meta name=“robots”

EDITED: I am using PHP Version 8.1.29

And even that area : Diagnostic info
PHP configuration (opens an external link in a new window)

opens a white plain page

PHP Version 8.1.29

Textpattern version: 4.8.8 ... PHP version: 8.2.20

How long have you been running this version of PHP, or has your host just bumped it up?

From the Txp HISTORY file (emphasis mine):

Changes in 4.8.8 (24 Jan 2022)

  • Maintenance release with support for PHP 8.1, security enhancements, general improvements and bug fixes.

Re: [SOLVED] Admin area errors

After a couple of hours of trying to suss out the problem I was about to re-install Textpattern, but before doing that I thought i would logon to the site using Firefox. And surprise!.. all was functioning as it should.

So the issue is that Safari is not rending something correctly. Although my two other sites are working fine using Safari when logging on as admin.

UPDATE: even the public site renders badly in Safari vs Firefox

Re: [SOLVED] Admin area errors

My iPhone’s Safari loads the public site okay. Do you have this issue with any site or only this one?

You might want to have a look at your Safari configuration – TXP 4.8 & 4.9 admin work perfectly fine here with Safari. And the front-end of your site renders fine here (Safari 15.7/iOS, Safari 18.2 iOS and macOS). My content blocker of course blocks all of goggle tag manager/ goggle ads.

But from the description, it sounds like Reader Mode is turned on. Visit your site, right-click or control-click in the location and check site specific settings, or Safari Menu, Settings for your.domain. Is the checkbox for reader mode ON (checked)?

Other steps: Safari Settings > Privacy tab -> Website Data. Search for your domain, clear, and then try again. Next, check extensions: shortcut: on the reload button, right-click -> Reload without content blockers, or also under Settings > websites, scroll through the list…

If all that fails, we’ll think something else.

Thanks for the suggestion. The front of the site and the admin is working fine on my iPhone iOS 15.8.3
on my desktop using Sequoia OS is where both front and back end are not rendering correctly.

Bingo! this was the issue: Safari Menu, Settings > reader mode ON.
how that happened I don’t know. It’s the only website that setting is turned ON , along with Ad block.

Many thanks for your help.
