Recently, Moodle 4.2 shows up only as simple html links. Has anyone else had this issue?
I am of course checking with my hosting service. This has happened before on my Mac, but it is happening with half the students in my class on Mac and PC using Chrome. Safari and Edge both work well.
In the past, I have always restarted the computer and it has fixed the issue, but Chrome is still not working for me and several of my students.
I would try another browser and also try clearing Chrome's cache.
Thanks Rick. I already did that. Did not work. This issue started after Chrome was updated on December 12. It affects me and some of my students. All students are using Chrome.
Thanks Rick. I have told my students to do that so this issue is kind of fixed for now and in Feb, I will just update everything after grades have been sent out to students.
Moodle 4.2 shows up only as simple html links
Can you share a screenshot? Crop or obscure anything you don't want to share on the Internet.
In config.php does the $CFG->wwwroot line start http: or https:?
I have attached a screenshot using Chrome. You can see that my Moodle only shows up as simple text and HTML links. As for the $CFG line, it starts with https.
It has always been set to https. This issue happened after the December 12th Chrome update. The web host technician confirmed that he replicated the issue in Chrome but said Firefox and Safari are working on both PC and Mac. So I have, of course, instructed all my students to use those web browsers. Then, of course, there are other students who are not having an issue. I told them not to update Chrome unless it starts giving them other problems.
The hosting service also told me that the require.min.js file is showing errors which are most likely causing the issue displayed in the attached file.

I'm guessing, but modern browsers don't like HTTP resources on an HTTPS page. Try changing the link to that image to https://www.forrestworld.com/cartoonfmn.jpg.
That image has been on there for several years without any issues, but I will give it a try. Thanks.
Thank Leon. The issue turned out to be the Boost Theme. I changed back to the classic theme and now the page works.
Thanks for the comments, but I have resolved the issue. The problem was the Boost Theme. It was malfunctioning. I changed back to the Classic Theme and the page works again.
What you say is that the Boost in Moodle 4.2 is not compatible with Google Chrome version 12 December 2023?
