Error when loading textarea fields in CP after upgrade Undefined index: field_fmt_options

Question

Only happens on a couple textarea fields, not all. I can still edit the fields but only after scrolling past all these error messages...

I have re-uploaded all the files for EE and Addons in use. I am running EE 2.10.1 and all the latest versions of FreeformPro, Playa, Matrix and Wygwam.

Answer 1

Just uploading the new files for modules doesn't complete the modules upgrade. You need to hit the "Run Module Updates" button on the Modules page.

I like to delete an addon's folder and upload the new files fresh without overwriting an existing folder as this can sometimes cause inconsistancies and obsolete files linger behind.

Answer 2

Thanks. I did do those things, run module update and delete old addon folders before uploading new and no luck.

I did find the issue though, I noticed that the Default Text Formatting for the texteara field had no Field Formatting options in the drop down, I had to click Edit Options and check Yes to enable options like Auto BR/ and XHTML.

Strange that those would all be disabled. Thank you.
