Missing Core Folder

Permalink
I am confused to to why as well but I am missing my C5 core folder from within /public_html/concrete

I am having issues with menu not expanding in IE and this is how I found that it was missing. I would like to install a fresh copy of C5 and then import my content. From what Ive seen it cant be done that easy.

Any advise on how I can get the core folder to come back? :)

Or if someone could tell me what table actuall site content is in that would be very helpful

If the core folder were missing, your site wouldn't work at all!

I would guess that at some point you upgraded to a newer version of concrete5. If this is the case, your site will be running out of the updates folder (public_html/updates). Inside you'll find a folder like concrete5.6.0.2/concrete -- this is your new core folder.

concrete5 is pointed at that folder by a line in config/site.php:

define('DIRNAME_APP_UPDATED', 'concrete5.6.0.2');



If you deleted the original core folder (public_html/concrete/) after upgrading, nothing bad will happen, but it's generally recommended to leave that in place.

And by the way, how a menu renders in IE is likely determined by a theme or block's code rather than the concrete5 core.

Hope that helps!
