An experience upgrading to TXP 4.6
I upgraded one of my personal sites from TXP 4.5.7 to 4.6.
- Prior to upgrading, I logged in on the admin panel, did some minimal housekeeping (among other things checked some Preferences, terrified that plugins were up-to-date, and installed, activated rvm_maintenance. Logged out of Texpattern and closed the browser tab.
- Fired up the trusted Transmit, SFTP’ed all Textpattern files, my templates folder (rah_flat), my admin theme, etc.
- Loaded the admin login panel again.
Here is how the experience is less than ideal:
- The
/textpatternURL loads, I’m greeted with a blank page with one line of text (I paraphrase: “you appear to have been running an incompatible admin theme, the default theme will be used instead”).
The text could add: “Please reload this page to continue” or something similar. That is what I actually did, the (Hive themed) login panel then loaded, I logged in. - The upgrade script finishes doing its job, and redirects me to the Language panel (as expected) to upgrade the language file. Ok this part worked fine.
- I then went to the Preference panel. Here things got slightly weird again: none of the sub panels were collapsed, the updated textpattern.js wasn’t doing its job… (guesses: the old version of the file was still in use somehow, or the Texpattern cookie was remembering something?). I clicked the “admin” link but the page did not scroll to that part. OK, I reloaded the page again, then it worked fine (sub panels collapsed, toggling worked), enabled my own theme.
After that things were working smoothly. Enabled rah_flat to update forms and pages (aside: rah_flat needs/expects lowercase folders in the template folder, fwiw), verified that all was working as expected on the front end and disabled rvm_maintenance. All included, it took me about 20 minutes, with an interruption by his majesty my cat.

Both: outdated textpattern.js and (previously) server-stored panes states. A hard reload should have fixed it, but please report if something weird happens.

That is what I actually did. And nope since then no issues with the Prefs panel (or the write panel) to report. I haven’t really tested/checked your latest changes though.
