Menu corrupted after updated link

Post by PCW » Sun Dec 07, 2025 9:49 pm

What caused this?
Just updated a link in menu and after "save" the whole menu turned to asci characters. Rest of page OK.
See web page: http://www.remingtonweather.com/templat ... esktop.php
How do I correct this?
Thanks.

Have you tried removing the change you made?

How did you updated the link?
Did you use a Linux text editor or a Windows editor?
Looks of course very weird.
Hope, you did a backup from the modified file.

Just guessing: there is any control character(s) which causes the page not to be recognized as PHP/HTML.
Looks more like a binary file opened in an editor.

My be more to see if you can attach this corrupted file here.

Look in admin/menu/menuItems.txt

I had this problem, I had saved my files, but I was unable to tell which one was bugged.

Since everything works, I don’t touch anything anymore, but my doubt comes from adding & in the title of one of the menu items.

Look in the file menuItems.txt.

Thanks davidefa!
Menu back to basics. Copied menu.php file from 19.0 and pasted to template folder.
Will add script to prevent another corruption.
Now to add my old item back into menu.
