@rcgillis

Can’t showing image

This looks like a UI/layout issue rather than a permissions problem.

Did you install or modify any custom theme or child theme (e.g. defaultmanuscriptchildthemeplugin)?

As a quick test, could you:

  1. Switch back to the default OJS theme

  2. Disable any custom/child themes

  3. Clear cache and reload

In several cases like this, the sidebar/dashboard elements were hidden due to theme incompatibility with OJS 3.4.

Hi @IJBSRR_Journal,

I suspect there is a relevant error message in your PHP error log, but it’s buried with a lot of other messages because your “debug” setting is turned on in config.inc.php. Disable that setting, load the page again, and check the error log one more time for a relevant message.

Hi @IJBSRR_Journal,

Turn off the debug setting in your configuration file as I recommended above in order to reduce the noise in your log file. Those messages come from the debug setting being turned on.

It seems to be related to the Navigation Block Plugin.
The error says:
Plugin navigation expected to inherit from NavigationBlockPlugin, actual type NULL

Check whether the plugin folder exists and contains the correct files:
plugins/blocks/navigation/

Hi,

you should update all your plugins to the actual versions of the plugins, even the Material theme plugin. It looks like you update the system, but not the plugins.
Best,
Radek

Thanks for All

All plugins to the actual versions of the plugins
