====== Dokuwiki Upgrade problem ======

--- //John Pumford-Green 30/06/22 11:30//

I recently upgraded to the latest version of Dokuwiki after seeing a banner informing me that a new Release Candidate (Igor  v52.1) was available.

Initially it all seemed to go well, with no problems noticed. I also upgraded my "sandbox" version.

I've recently switched to using the Vector template, to mimic the look/feel of Wikipedia and ''mediawiki'', after using the default template and also ''Bootstrap3''. Only then did I find a problem with the upgraded Dokuwiki. 

I couldn't **logout**!

When I tried to logout there was a warning banner <note warning>Security Token did not match. Possible CSRF attack</note>. The same happened on the //sandbox// server too!

Changing active template to any other - Dokuwiki, <del>Monobook</del>, Bootstrap3 - and there was no problem with logging in and out. Only while using ''Vector'' (and ''Monobook'') was there an issue.

I downgraded back to ''Release 2020-07-29 "Hogfather" '' and the problem went away!

So.... there seems to be an incompatibility with the current version of the ''Vector'' & ''Monobook'' templates and the new version of ''Dokuwiki'' itself.


Until it's resolved I'll stay on ''Release 2020-07-29 "Hogfather"'' and keep using ''Vector'' or ''Monobook''

To suppress the ''upgrade available'' banner <del>I've edited ''./doku.php'' to bump the version to ''52.1''</del> I've set the configuration option "updatecheck" to ''0'' on the main site, and left it as normal on the sandbox site.


===== UPDATE =====

<note>
It's been fixed..... see [[public:computers:dokuwiki_tweaks#Logout errors with later versions of Dokuwiki|]]
