Static Frontpage does not work after upgrade -- SOLVED

Post by kybernator »

After upgrading to 2.3.5, a static page I had used as frontpage is not shown (as frontpage) anymore, but the (empty) list of articles instead.

I updated all plugins, and toggled the "Make this page the frontpage of Serendipity" marker on the static page off and on, but no success.

Site: https://reformierte-freikirche.de/

intended Frontpage: https://reformierte-freikirche.de/index ... seite.html

When I encountered it, I guessed it must be a common problem, but I could not find a forum entry for that (searched "frontpage").

Any ideas, please?

Does it work now, or is the changing image the marker that it is still broken?

Sorry, onli, I do not quite understand -- "changing image" as marker?

I only see "No entries to print", which I take as an attempt to show entries in the blog (there are none) instead of the desired static page.

If by "changing image" you mean the one on top of the sidebar, that is a plugin that takes a random pic from a specified directory each time the page is loaded. Works as expected.

This is what I see when visiting https://reformierte-freikirche.de/:

I indeed meant the image in the sidebar, as it changes when visiting the page I thought it might be a marker.

Maybe you are logged in and that breaks it?

All is well.

After onli posted what he saw, I used another browser (wasn't logged in in the previous one, though).
What I see now is the same as he sees, so it must be some unpleasantness with browser caching, more likely than not.

Sorry for raising the alarm :oops:

I'm relieved it worked :) Working on the static page plugin is annoying, so it's better this way.
