Kirby 4 I can't type into the blocks with fresh installation

[mohzam]

Hi guys, I can’t seem to type anything into blocks, this is a fresh installation with 3.9.4, is it an issue with PHP version ? it is 8.2. Letters show and hide, nothing gets retained.

@mohzam

this is a fresh installation with 3.9.4

Have you tried the latest Kirby 3 version? Or why did you choose that one for a new install?

Do you see any errors in the console?

[mohzam]

That was the latest I could find. Actually, starterkit 3.9.4. I’m working off starter kits. This is the console. (Firefox)

I just bought Kirby 4 license and ran Starter kit for Kirby 4 as well, same results. But with different error messages. Now, Images are not loading as well (image links are getting 500 internal server error). My PHP is 8.3

This sounds similar: Adding text not working in Blocks - #8 by flokosiol

I’m on shared hosting, i have enabled libxml, simplexml, xml PHP extensions. Still doesn’t work for me. As you can see, texts don’t appear, image thumbnails don’t appear as well.

Please double-check if your hosting fulfills all requirements as described in the docs: Quickstart | Kirby CMS

For thumbnails to work, the gd library is required.

GD PHP extension is enabled. Apache is the server. The hosting provider even provides Kirby 4 installation script via Softaculous.

The hosting provider even provides Kirby 4 installation script via Softaculous.

Then maybe use Kirby 4, doesn’t make much sense to start a new project with Kirby 3.

[mohzam]

Yeah Kirby 4 also same issue, the latest images I’ve posted today are from Kirby 4. I found the problem with thumbnails (even though GD is enabled, it doesn’t load) but not the text.

Have you double-checked the other required PHP extensions? Where are you hosting?

[mohzam]

All working good now, the issue was - had to enable all extensions and request a server restart from hosting provider. Thanks!
