Joomla 3.0 SEF URLs sending to random wrong articles - plugins

My site eighttwentydesign is running Joomla 3.0. I have SEF URLs on, and have done for sometime without issue. But today when you go to the site, and click on anything, say portfolio you get the home page under the portfolio's URL, but if you add a leading slash at the end, the right article (portfolio) shows. Additionally, if you click on say "Web Design" it sends you to the Portfolio page. I might add this menu is a menu within Joomla - not be adding internal links manually
Doesn't work: http://www.eighttwentydesign.com/portfolio
Does work: http://www.eighttwentydesign.com/portfolio/
I have checked the .htaccess, and actually reverted it to the original with no luck, I have check Global Config but I can't see anything which may cause this. It was working nicely yesterday. I haven't adapted with any PHP source or anything in the past few weeks, the only notifiable thing I have done is yesterday enabling the Cache - have others experienced problems after doing this? I have disabled it under global config, with no avail.
Exact Joomla Version is 3.0.2 with very few plugins
I do have daily backups, but would rather a solution and be able to figure out a prevention from that, rather than just putting on a band aid.
I've search for a good couple of hours, and aside from just not being able to fix it, it appears no one else is experiencing this, so I am starting to think it may be a bug.

Just as I was about to post this I discovered my solution.
If you are having your SEF URLs display the wrong content then solve it by disabling the Cache plugin. You can do this by doing the following steps
Login to Joomla backend
Navigate to Extensions > Plugins
Go to "System Cache"
Disable system cache
I hope this helps someone in the future as I really struggled to find any answers on this.

Enforce HTTPS not available on GitHub

I was able to have HTTPS but just recently I cannot create an HTTPS website. Is there anyone familiar with Namecheap and GitHub Pages that has either overcome the issue or can help?
Namecheap
GitHub Pages
CNAME
404.html
index.html
Thanks to #VadimKovrizhkin for asking. Yes, I do remember now.
Step 1
(I did not try this, but it is definetely related to the problem)
Try disabling all extensions. If the checkbox is enabled, re-enable all extensions one-by-one to see which one it is. If you find which one it is, you may not need to permanently disable it.
The extension may have settings/preferences. For example, mine was an ad-blocker. I went to its preferences in my browser settings. Then, I disabled it on the specific site I wanted.
I have not tried this out on this problem though.
Step 2
If that did not work, here's what helped me enable the checkbox.
This step is very simple.
Go to the "Pages" section (or wherever the checkbox is)
Lay your cursor over the checkbox.
Right click, "Inspect Element", and go to the element manually if it doesn't automatically.
Find the attribute on the <input type="checkbox"> element called disabled.
Completely delete that attribute from the element.
The checkbox should be enabled again.
The reason it may not be working
It looks like this issue has not been fixed yet.
I can tell because I ran into this problem a few days ago setting my domain.
I did the inspect element trick and it works great.
The reason it may be doing this is browser support, or an extension(s) that may be breaking the site.
Other GitHub users have had browser support issues on Firefox and Chrome (maybe other browser too).

TYPO3: Backend Toolbar User-Settings gone after Update to TYPO3 v9.5.19 from v8.7

We upgraded a TYPO3 installation from 8.7.x to 9.5.19.
Afterwards, the User-Icon dopdown in the top toolbar is missing. (see screenshots)
We found out that the toolbar is generated in this class:
/typo3/sysext/backend/Classes/Backend/ToolbarItems/UserToolbarItem.php
We see that there have been lots of changes here since v7.6 but don't know where to go from there.
Is there a configuration file, where the items in the top bar are noted?
Additional information: we are working with the typo3-themes extension and have worked with our own theme before the update. During the update we switched to the bootstrap4 + bootstrap4-child theme - would this be a starting place for further investigations?
Before upgrade:
After upgrade:
UPDATE: It seems like this was at least not the root of the problems. After reactivating typo3_console the user-icon was still visible. So it looks like we have further investigating to do.
Update (2 Days later):
We can't reproduce the error. My best guess for now is, that deactivating the extension "repaired" a corrupt configuration file which had caused the disappearing of the user settings icon. After a lot of researching i have not found anybody with a similar problem so this might be an edge case. I wish i could offer more insight to this.
Thanks to Peter Kraume's basic suggestions i found the answer: after i deactivated the extension typo3_console it immediately worked!
Just for the record, here are the other steps we tried:
BE (via top bar)
Flush frontend caches
Flush all caches
BE Admin Tools ("Maintenance")
Flush TYPO3 and PHP Cache
Remove Temporary Assets
Logs
BE System log shows no current errors
Shared Hosting, /var/ contains no logs, /logs/ contains ftp and access logs
Hosting Provider Backend
Cleared OPcache
Created a new Admin-User, logged in, same behaviour
Tried on two different PCs
Primarily tested on Firefox 77.01, checked with Chrome 83.0.4103.116
Extensions:
was not sure, which extensions might manipulate the topbar - deactivated typo3-console, because i remembered seeing some error during the upgrade process. My feeling was more like: i don't need this right now, so i could as well deactivate it. 1 second later, the user drop-down reappeared. Unbelievable! Thanks for reminding me of the basic stuff - like turning off things!
We just had the same problem after upgrade from TYPO3 8 to 9. I have compared the working BE-User with the non-working BE user. They differ in given Language. Working BE-User has lang=''. Non-Working BE-User lang='de'. After switching the working BE-User to lang de, too, the UserToolbar is gone. I have updated the languages in Maintenance-Module and now everything works as expected.
Solution for us was to disabling the "belog" extension.
I had the same problem and I could solve it on all systems with:
Install-Tool > Maintenance > Manage Language Packs > Download the files again.

Right side of admin panel disappears after updating my MODx Revo 2.2.15-pl to MODx Revo 2.3.0-pl

I've come across a strange kind of a bug or issue after updating my MODx Revo 2.2.15-pl to MODx Revo 2.3.0-pl
The right side of the admin panel just disappeared after modx revo update
However, if I install a fresh copy of MODX from scratch, this problem doesn't appear at all.
I have updated my site several times before without problems. I always followed the steps described in the official manual Upgrading MODX Revolution 2.x
Maybe someone familiar with this situation can help me find out what's wrong?
Also be careful with .htaccess in root MODx folder, try not change him, in some cases it causes issues. MODX Revo bug.
I find this is generally a symptom due to permissions on the /assets/ directory
make sure the webserver has permission to read/write to /assets/components/ [and /manager/ and /connectors/]
clear cache [always!]
disable js/css compression
make sure that the left panel is not actually collapsed [older versions was difficult to see the little arrow!]
Errors/problems should show up in core/cache/logs/ installation log.
Anyway, probably what has happened here is that you uploaded all your files VIA ftp as the ftp user & the webserver cannot overwrite those files. To make life easier on you, use the advanced install - that way all you have to upload are the /setup/ and /core/ directories [both should be read/write by the webserver as well]

long script error internet explorer

Please can someone help?
I've had facebook integration scripts running on my website for many years already with no problem. However, I am now being flooded with complaints from customers who use INTERNET EXPLORER saying that since an update to IE a week or so ago they are constantly getting the long-running script errors...
"Stop Running This Script.
A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly.
If it continues to run, your computer might become unresponsive."
I've worked it out (by disabling scripts) that the problem is with the Facebook scripts.
Nothing has been changed in months on the website so it's not something I can figure out how to fix.
Scripts: Invite your friends, Like, Share page, etc
Please, please help
Thanks
Matt
I've ran into the same issue. I can reproduce the issue not just on my site, but on others as well when using IE 9 or IE 10 (have not tested with older IE versions). The issue seems to be a result of IE's compatibility view feature. If that is enabled for a website, which also has the facebook like button on the page of the site you're trying to load, a long running script error is produced (error from a function called _t). When I disable compatibility view for that website, the error goes away. I'm not sure if the issue is with the IE feature, or with facebook's button...I'm not getting same error from other scripts, nor other social buttons like google+, which makes me think the issue is on Facebook's end. I've been trying different IE setting configs for days now...so far, the only fix I can come up with is turn compatibility view off. And of course resolve issues so that compatibility view are not needed. Though telling your users they have to turn off compatibility view doesn't seem like an appropriate response...so I hope a better fix is found.

Umbraco - Unable to navigate to sections other than Content after upgrade to 4.5.2

I've tried posting this on the Umbraco forums to no avail. Hoping to find some help here.
I thought I upgraded successfully from 4.0.4.2 to 4.5.2 (on my way to 4.8...) as I received no errors and everything seemed to go smoothly. However, in the backoffice, when I click on any section other than Content, I get redirected back to Content. I can manually reach each section by typing in the name of it after the # sign like: #media, but as soon as I click on a tree item, it redirects me back to Content. Any ideas would be appreciated.
2 thoughts:
You're cacheing some of the old javascript in your browser. Try clearing your cache. IE can be stubborn in this regard; preferably try in Chrome.
Personally, if your site is working under 4.5.2, I wouldn't sweat the back office issue and just continue with the upgrade to 4.8.1. There will likely be new problems to solve there anyway :) and the backoffice issue may go away.
Updating the icons via the following script fixed this problem. Links must run off the appIcon field. Not sure why this is not executed when the database is updated via the 4.5.2 upgrade.
update umbracoApp
set appIcon = '.tray' + appAlias
where appAlias IN ('content','media','users','settings','developer','member')
