very strange behavior after upgrading to ee6
Development and Programming
After upgrading my staging environment to ee6 from 5.3.x, my production CP looks broken. Styles, according to color, seem to be ee6 styles, but it looks broken like a style sheet is missing. Staging and Prod are completely separate instances – dev.myclientsdomain.com / myclientsdomain.com. How is that possible, what am I missing here? Any suggestions and help very welcome! Thank you!
The first thing I’d do is clear your production site EE cache, and your browser cache, so you know you’re using up to date system files.
If that doesn’t work check URL and path settings are correct and all system files exist on the production site.
Unfortunately caching is not the problem. There are files and directories changed in the prod theme, looks like the auto-updater is noch limited to the current directory. Staging and prod are on the same hosting, different directories, not ideal, I know. Nasty bug.
On your production site have a look at the CP source to see if CSS files are being loaded, then check those CSS URL(s) to make sure the file(s) exist and where it’s pulling them from.
On production, open up your browsers Web Developer tools. Typically F12. Under network (after refreshing the control panel page, see what is in red, or not loading. That is the easiest way to carefully check.
My bet is a broken URL, http/https mishap, or theme files did not transfer correctly and file is missing.
