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
. The same happened on the sandbox server too!
Changing active template to any other - Dokuwiki, Monobook, 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 I've edited I've set the configuration option “updatecheck” to ./doku.php
to bump the version to 52.1
0
on the main site, and left it as normal on the sandbox site.

It's been fixed….. see Logout errors with later versions of Dokuwiki
