I just installed the patch per the instruction. Each file was uploaded in the order presented. It still indicates we have teh older version. Menus still gone. Suggestions?

Your permissions may be preventing the files to override via FTP. Check your permissions to be sure that when you are uploading and overwriting the files that they are actually getting overwritten.

Just checked and read write and execute are all checked.  This back end stuff is not my strong suite.

Hello,

A template xml files points to an xml file missing. Check the template's xml folders, in there you should see Vertex.xml and Specific.xml, if both of those are not there one has been removed. You can grave Vertex.xml from the patch and Specific.xml from the template's original zip file.

Hi Mike, in my xml folder on website the Specific.xml wasn't  present so i copied it over from the original website files. But now im seeing a very different issue.  Take a look at the screen shot.  I have rolled it back to no menu for the time being.

Thanks,
Caleb

Update:
I have another client with the same issue.  The first client is using Modern Flavor and the second one is using Business Line.  Same xml error, then when i replace the Specific.xml file i get a strange unformatted page - I've rolled it back to no menu version as well.  See attached screen shot.

Hello,

You are not applying something correct with the patch. Uploading the patch files does not touch the xml files. If you can restore the sites with a backup, and private message me ftp access I can patch them for you.

Ok its fixed!  Turns out that my FTP program "Flow" was overwriting at the "Folder" level and not the file level.  For instance the Specific.xml was not in the Vertex update but my ftp program overwrote the whole folder...and Im sure that was happening in all the other folders.  My fix was to login to my hosting account and upload the update zip file, then extract it in the proper location.  Worked like a charm!  Sorry about that Mike. Thank you though!!

Can't this be made a fix/update you can install through the backend that overwrite the files?

For end users of their website this is very hard because most don't even know what FTP means or how to use it.

Hi, I installed the vertex updater component (to avoid having to do this via FTP) however it displays only a blank when I choose it from the backend. I am running Joomla 3.8.3.

Thank you for any assistance
