We have just upgraded our moodle from 2.7 to 3.0, and then to 3.4
After version 3.4, we noticed the below discrepancies:
1) Calendar is loading, and layout is distorted, and on the left, below 'CALENDAR', there is the loading ring
2) Upon selecting the calendar, the dates appear twice:
3) Titles/topics, appear twice:
4) And there is the phrase 'hidden from students' appearing out of nowhere:
Can someone provide me with some info as to why and how to solve this?
OK so I am looking to customise the boost theme for our use, but I am so bad with css stuff. Can someone advice, given the below files in my existing theme, which are the css and layout files, how/which ones do I put into the custom scss for boost?
Just wondering, is there any way to seamlessly
import theme settings from moodle 2.5 to moodle 3.4?

I've got another problem here since the upgrade - this is pertaining to educator site experience.
We enter a course and try to list the participants and get this error:
get_related_contexts_string() is removed, please use $context->get_parent_context_ids(true) instead
I checked the lib/accesslib.php is using the correct get_parent_context_ids(true):
$contexts = $context->get_parent_context_ids(true);
I realised that user/index.php was still calling the old get_related_context_string at line 365, so I changed it to:
$contextlist = get_parent_context_ids(true);
However I am still getting some error:
$contextlist = get_parent_context_ids(true);
Is the parameter 'true' correct or should be something else?
I tried turning the debugging on, this is what I get:
Exception - Call to undefined function get_parent_context_ids()
Exception - Call to undefined function get_parent_context_ids()
This sounds like either a cache problem or an incorrect upgrade procedure...how exactly was the upgrade done? I suspect the new code was copied over the old code instead of replacing it entirely. If that is the case, then you need to redownload the code, and follow the upgrade instructions to upgrade correctly.
I've cleared the cache a few times, so we can rule that out. Unless it is user related?
We did the upgrade by replacing the moodle folder entirely, and then we copied the needed files over for the settings.
Is the line 365 in user/index.php correct?
$contextlist = get_parent_context_ids(true);
You were right indeed Emma, we did not use the latest user/index.php in the upgrade.
I fixed this to use the latest user/index.php, now we no longer get the function error, but I see the layout of the list of participants is a bit weird, the alphabets are appearing vertical instead of horizontal, how can I fix this?
I am new to a role where an upgrade to Moodle 3.4 had taken place prior to my start (six months ago) and I have the same issue of the listing in vertical format when I need them in Horizontal format. Any help in this regards is much appreciated.
Thank you
Kind regards

I'm guessing that you have made changes to core Moodle code and have now found out why it's a really bad idea.
What you can't do is to copy the old versions into the new code and hope it works. There are various things you can do but, basically, you need to re-make the changes in the new version.
However, again, don't do that. It's very bad practice and leads to this sort of thing.
we added the below lines in custom css for our theme to remove the vertical alphabets, it works for us (my pc and my colleague, both on different networks) but at the client side they still view the alphabets. Is there something else at work here? firewall?

form#participantsform div.initialbar.lastinitial,
