            @luceos so the upgrade process wasn't really successful so I decided to get a clean installation of the latest version of flarum and compare the tables of the new and old one and see whats missing and manually add it in myself....and it succeeded!!!! I was able to get all my data from the beta 2 version to the new beta 5 version....

            but then came the catastrophe.....

            once I logged out, all it showed was the forum title and that line under it.....nothing else....refreshing wont help

            so may I know what went wrong there? Also can I give you the credentials to login to the host im using so that you can personally have a look at the db and the files to see if anything is wrong?

                  Digital all i did was install a fresh version of flarum (latest one) and compared the tables between the old one which has all the data and the new one and i made all the changes that i can see present in the new version which are not there in the old version....then I renamed config to settings and changed the version in that table to beta 5 to stop flarum from updating anything and giving me errors since I pretty much already updated it all....then I backed up my assets and config, deleted all the beta 2 files (not the db) and installed beta 5 and removed the assets folder and added the assets and config folder i backed up earlier

                  Then I went ahead to re-enable all plugins but it threw me an error since the tables these plugins create already existed but I simply fixed that by deleting everything in the migrations folder on each and every single plugin folder. And that made me able to re-enable the plugins without any errors and everything worked perfectly ever since ?
