    Hello,

    I just updated one of my older 9.5 MODx installations to 9.6.1.p2. Now there’s something weird:

    • Wayfinder isn’t parsed any more (no menu shows up)
    • standard document TV’s like *content*, *longtitle*, *introtext* aren’t parsed anymore in the frontend
    When I preview a document in the backend, then *content* is parsed and shown, but not in the frontend. Wayfinder isn’t shown in the backend preview.
    When I make a new snippet, it’s beeing parsed.

    The database is the same, and in the modx_site_content tabele all contents still is available. The Wayfinder files in /snippets/ are unchanged.

    Where to look for an mistake? Thanks for any ideas!
    • Make sure the assets/snippets/wayfinder files are the same version as your snippet in the Manager, likewise with Ditto and any other snippets you’re using that have external files in the assets/snippets folder.

      The document variables [*content*], [*longtitle*], etc have not changed, there’s no reason why they should not still be working as expected.

        Thanks Susan,

        you were right, by some reason the files in the asstes/snippets/wayfinder folder had not been updated.

        Still one thing confusing: Calling a file with folder/index.php?id=1 or with folder/index.html (friendly urls turned on) is working and showing , but via folder/ doesn’t work. Maybe I have to check the .htaccess once more ...
        • Sounds like your server configuration isn’t set to recognize index.php as a directory index file.
