Upgrade to 5.4.0.5 breaks css styling.

Permalink 2 users found helpful
Please help. I installed 5.3.3.1 and began the development of this webstie:www.www.ywammuizenberg.org/concrete5/...
all was going well and before I got to far into the project I thought it would be a good idea to upgrade. After the upgrade no CSS styling works either on custom template or core themes shipped with C5. Also some other strange functions like not being able to click pages in the sitemap page of the dashboard.
Any ideas?
also, if I go into the source code and click on the link that should point to my style sheet this is the error message I receive:
<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>: Call to undefined method Zend_Cache_Core::getMetadatas() in <b>/home/ywammuiz/public_html/concrete5/concrete/libraries/cache.php</b> on line <b>117</b><br />

What control panel do you use?
If you use CPanel, like me, you may be able to easily 'rewind' your web account back to where it was before you upgraded.

My suggestion: Keep it on 5.3.3.1 for now, set up a second concrete5 install somewhere else and copy over your site and then try the upgrade.. Someone else here might be able to give you some more insight into the actual problem you are experiencing.

Screenshots and as much detail are always helpful.

..did you use an absolute path to your css-file(s), or variables like
<?=$this->getThemePath()?> or
<?php echo $this->getStyleSheet('main.css')?> ..?

..after updating to 5.4 i had problems determine the css path with <?php echo $this->getStyleSheet('main.css')?> when caching was enabled.. changing to <?=$this->getThemePath()?> worked for me in this case..

..maybe this could help with your styling issues..

dom - thanks for the help. I tried changing the theme path but still nothing. This is somewhat frustrating! why would the upgrade cause C5 to lose the ability to import a theme. Not just my custom theme...I can't get the core themes to display either. HELP!

Had to downgrade back to 5.3.3.1

I'd love if someone could sort this out or shed some light on to how I might be able to do so myself.
