Hi Devs and Admins,
I have an issue that came up during Beta 9 installation. The update went fine, but afterwards the forum wouldn't load. I had forgotten to turn off 3rd party extensions first.
I ran a backup before the install, so I decided to restore from backup. I successfully restored "Assets" and composer.json from the version 8 backup. Then I realized that the database hadn't been properly backed up. My version 8 database is gone, replaced with the buggy version 9 database. Damn!
My webmaster was able to turn off extensions in the DB (set extensions_enabled in settings DB to "", clearing them all) and the forum now loads. However, tags and permissions are gone, and all posts are now marked as awaiting approval.
Can you help me figure out how to get the tags and permissions back and ensure this isn't a ticking time bomb in some other way? Thank you.
