| It indicates that a new update of the wiki engine is available. I had been waiting for the stable release to be available instead of the release candidate (rc) and it looks like it is now. I'm currently in the process of testing this upgrade on a local copy of our website to make sure that it doesn't break anything. The current version we're using is from 2020-07-29 (2 years ago!) so there could be incompatibilities with extensions we're using. | It indicated that a new update of the wiki engine is available. I had been waiting for the stable release to be available instead of the release candidate (rc) and it looks like it is now. I finished testing this update on a local copy of our website to make sure that it didn't break anything (it did). The old version we were using was from 2020-07-29 (2 years ago!) so there was some incompatibilities with extensions we were using. Luckily I found alternatives and completed the update. Let me know if you notice anything unusual. |

| Once I'm satisfied that the new version is running well, I'll upgrade the site here has well. | |

| * **Actual**:{{blog02.png}} | |
| | |
| ==== Updates: ==== | |
| * Looking at plugin [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:blogtng |dokuwiki]] and [[https://github.com/dokufreaks/plugin-blogtng/issues|github]] pages, it looks like the plugin is no longer being maintained. | |
| * Looking at the [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/tips:blogging |blogging]] and [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:include|include]] plugins as alternatives. | |

| The header is missing. | |
| | |
| * **Expected**:{{header01.png}} | |
| * **Actual**:{{header02.png}} | |
| | |
| Fix is to follow the instructions [[/memberscorner/weblog#top_bar_for_dokuwiki_template_only |here] for the template mods. | |
| | |
| | |
| ===== Table of Contents Not Hiding ===== | |
| I had configured the table of content to hide by default. It looks like this configuration was overwritten by the upgrade. | |
| | |
| * Fix is to edit ''/lib/tpl/dokuwiki/script.js'' and replace:<code java> | |
| if($toc.length) { | |
| $toc[0].setState(1); </code> with <code java> | |
| if($toc.length) { | |
| $toc[0].setState(-1); | |
| </code> | |
