All good here with three installs updated. One (CSF) was a jump from 4.7.0. Funny how fast you forget about those once-upon-a-timers.

Spoke to soon. When logged out, my custom error page used in conjuction with rvm_maintenance says it lost contact with two forms…

Tag error: <txp:output_form form="tmpl_meta" /> ->  Textpattern Notice: Form not found. .tmpl_meta while parsing form None on page default

textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php:3240 trigger_error()
textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php:3270 fetch_form()
textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php:538 parse_form()
output_form()
textpattern/vendors/Textpattern/Tag/Registry.php:139 call_user_func()
textpattern/lib/txplib_publish.php:543 Textpattern\Tag\Registry->process()
textpattern/lib/txplib_publish.php:403 processTags()
textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php:4311 parse()
textpattern/plugins/rvm_maintenance/rvm_maintenance.php:16 txp_die()
textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php:1535 rvm_maintenance()

Tag error: <txp:output_form form="tmpl_tete_default" /> ->  Textpattern Notice: Form not found. .tmpl_tete_default while parsing form None on page default

textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php:3240 trigger_error()
textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php:3270 fetch_form()
textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php:538 parse_form()

textpattern/plugins/rvm_maintenance/rvm_maintenance.php:16 txp_die()
textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php:1535 rvm_maintenance()

But the forms are there and nothing changed from before.

I’m not worried about this too much because I think I’m going to nix using the plugin anyway, but just to mention.

updated 5 sites in less than an hour without a hitch. Smooth sailings. Many Thanks to the Devs! Fine work.

( Should the instructions on updating have a word about the Themes folders. I was using a theme which was over-written when i installed the new version. i simply overwrote the RPC and THEMES folders. which borked my site. of course i had a backup and re-installed the themes)

Is it normal to have the form name prepended with . in the latter part of the message?

Me thinks a small note may be recommended. If you update from a previous TXP version there is absolutely no need to re-upload the themes folder (the RPC is ambiguous). Similarly, the textpattern/plugins folder does not need to be replaced, as it contains all install plugins. This one is less damaging, as the contents will be re-populated at first login, but at a minimum it is a waste of electricity…

Don’t know, but the forms are not named that way.

I’ve just noted this in the repo, for future upgrades. Thanks all.

Cool! Big thanks to all concerned and must try out PHP 8 soon. Is there a good overview anywhere of what’s new?

Congrats to the Dev Team for moving us into the future.

P.S. And for outpacing the competition.

Thanks for that. How about textpattern/plugins? The contents is regenerated on first login (all or only active plugins? not sure) but the user could have deleted a plugin, but left the Delete from disk too checkbox unchecked, to keep the plugin for later use.
