Problems in Manager after upgrading from 0.9.6.3 to 1.0.4

I upgraded a "live" site using the alternate upgrade method from 0.9.6.3 to 1.0.4. The upgrade went smoothly and the site’s downtime was less than 5 minutes. But I am now experiencing the following problems in Manager:

• When I create a new page or edit a page and mark it as unpublished, it is always saved as published. Changing "Published default" in configuration to "No" unchecks the "Published" checkbox when creating a new resource but when I save it, the resource will always be saved as published.
• Alias of resources are converted to lowercase after save.

I also upgraded another installation of Modx from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4 using regular upgrade method and don’t have any of the above problems.

Please note that I don’t have the option of taking the "live" site offline again to do a regular upgrade. I appreciate any help to get around this problem.

it’s probably the default ManagerManager rules chunk that sets the pub_date automatically when the ressource is created. you’d need to uncomment that rule and delete the pub_date field.

Update:

The lowercase conversion problem is solved by disabling the TransAlias plugin.

check the TransAlias plugin settings

I disabled the "ManagerManager" plugin, but I still cannot make a resource "unpublished".

did you clear the published field?

sorry, i meant the Publish date field

Clearing the published date field did the trick. You were also right about the TransAlias settings; Trans table was set to utf8lowercase.

Since I want to keep the plugins to bare minimum, I am still going to keep both plugins disabled. Thanks for your help.

you’re welcome. glad you got it sorted
