generic error: Oops! Something went wrong.

The issue

I'm having a problem with my Flarum installation where I get the generic error: “Oops! Something went wrong. Please reload the page and try again.” when trying to access the forum.

The error occurs constantly and doesn't display any details on the screen. I've already tried clearing the cache, checking permissions, and basic settings, but the problem persists.

I would appreciate any help in identifying the cause. I can provide the contents of the storage/logs/flarum.log file if needed.

TodoWP The SVG error in your log is from an admin logo upload attempt. I don't think it's what's breaking your forum for visitors. To find the real cause of the "Oops", enable 'debug' in config.php, reproduce the error, note the exception shown, then disable debug mode and share what you find.

I edited your posts. Next time, please use: ``` to properly format the logs.
Also, do you have Flarum Realtime installed? I'm trying to figure out what the issue is here. (If you have realtime installed, you need to edit the extend.php file correctly.)
