@dave1904 I’ve managed to resolve this issue - see below
It seems that there is a conflicting plugin somewhere that causes reactions
to not fire. Not sure which one it is, but below are the steps I took to resolve
- Issue
./nodebb reset -t
- this essentially resets everything back to default - be warned, as it will strip literally all customisations also
- Reactivate only the essential plugins (typically those that come with the stock installation)
- Install and activate
nodebb-plugin-emoji
, nodebb-plugin-emoji-android
and @nodebb/nodebb-plugin-reactions@latest
- Rebuild and restart
Obviously, these steps are quite dramatic and would mean some downtime for your forum. You’d also need to put everything back the way it was in terms of CSS, Widgets, etc, so quite invasive. My suggestion would be to try a minimal approach on prod to see if we can get that to work without having to use the somewhat “sledgehammer” approach above.
