Add Module dialogue closes

Post by stuffdone » Sat Jan 04, 2025 7:43 pm

I have seen this in a number of J5 sites when I try to add a new menu. When I click the button to add module for the new menu the dialogue window pops open for a second then just closes.

I am not able to add new menu modules via this method. I have had this error on every J5 site so far.

Ideas?

Just tried to add a menu module in both a local and a remote Joomla 5.2.2 site and both sites worked. Do you see any error messages in the PHP error log? Use Developer tools on the page (F12) and check if the Console tab reports any javascript errors in red.

Do you have any browser addons that could be causing this?
Test with Cassiopeia as default front end Template?

This happens with all template including stock cassiopeia. I have not tried desabling addons yet, or trying in Chrome or Edge. Will try that soon.

I found if I use the add module function rather than click the box when creating a menu that works. It only happens if I go thru the normal create menu process and click the resultant box to add module.

Do you mean the box on the right:

It works all right in my localhost Joomla 5.2.3. Do you see any error messages in the PHP error log? Please post the results from the Forum Post Assistant (FPA) by following the instructions at https://forumpostassistant.github.io/docs/.
