I just installed the Articles Extra and after creating the base container (right click in resource tree → _Create Articles here_) I get to the articles container settings like expected. However as soon as I hit save and the page reloads there’s only a blank page. No way to get back to those settings. Error log shows nothing but a few deprecation warnings. Although there were quite a few errors during the install: > **show errors** > > ```nohighlight > Attempting to install package with signature: articles-1.8.0-pl > > Package found...now preparing to install. > > Grabbing package workspace... > > Workspace environment initiated, now installing package... > > Package .../core/packages//var/www/html/packages/articles/_build/subpackages/archivist-1.2.4-pl.transport.ziparchivist-1.2.4-pl.transport.zip not found.

The Archivist subpackage can’t be unpacked at first, so it looks like a package issue. ---

So I checked Archivist and reinstalled that, which went without errors but did not change anything. Then I noticed that Quip was not installed at all, after reinstalling it manually I can access the Articles container again. I’m guessing the issue here is: `Could not find quip v2.3.5+ in package provider modx.com` Are all those other validator errors during the install a reason for concern? Maybe @joshualuckers? ---

Hmm… yeah I can confirm the same thing happening. Manually installing Quip fixes the problem as a workaround. Interestingly, changing the resolver to get Quip 2.3.3 works - it just can’t find 2.3.5. 🤔 Added this info to an issue: [Articles cannot find Quip 2.3.5 on install · Issue #161 · modxcms/Articles · GitHub](https://github.com/modxcms/Articles/issues/161) ---

Older versions of Quip where still active in the package provider, I’ve disabled them for now. Can someone check if this works? ---

Hi joshualuckers, We were in a conversation with Bob after we were experiencing some stability issues in Modx 2.8 with Articles 1.8.0: [Articles issues with upgrade - #3 by lancipoos](https://community.modx.com/t/articles-issues-with-upgrade/5340/3) Since then we’ve been developing a new site using Modx 3.0.1. and have installed Articles. In the manager, instead of the blank page VibesDesign sees, we have a compressed display on both the Container and Article Template. See screen shots below. These pages throw errors: `core/src/Revolution/modX.php Unable to load processor for action "mgr/comment/getList"` ```auto core/vendor/xpdo/xpdo/src/xPDO/xPDO.php Could not load class: modAction from mysql.modaction ``` ![articles2](https://modx-community.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/original/2X/4/4411d46b4b5a2a5f32ec9a876c901b1e11f703aa.jpeg) ![articles1](https://modx-community.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/original/2X/d/d730bdf8867a1c189f217f088e55d5cafba5deac.jpeg) We see a blank page for the Articles container - but on the front end. The error is `PHP warning: strpos(): Empty needle` in ArticlesContainer.php We still see the js console error in Modx 3.0.1 " Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘formpanel’)" as mentioned in the post with Bob on clicking ‘Close’ in the Article Template. Any help would be appreciated. Php is 7.2.24 ---

Hi @lancipoos MODX 3.0.1 brought some template changes which affected Articles. See this: [Display issue · Issue #160 · modxcms/Articles · GitHub](https://github.com/modxcms/Articles/issues/160) The next Articles release will fix that, but in the mean time you can apply the workaround mentioned in the link above. Also, if you’re starting a new site, I’d definitely recommend using Collections over Articles. Articles is really quite old, and while we’ve been working to bring it up to date, the MODX 3 version is still in Alpha and there will probably be some weirdness that pops up from time to time. 🙈 ---

Thanks, DigitalPenguin, we’ll switch to Collections for the new build in Modx 3 as you suggest. For the legacy site still running on 2.8.3, there’s a lot of instability now also with the latest Articles install. Is there a process to import Articles posts into Collections? ---

For testing, I uninstalled Articles and all its dependencies again, or atleast I tried to as Articles gives an error: `Error uninstalling package with signature: articles-1.8.0-pl`.

I have a similar issue my clients site has an Articles page and the container page is blank. Unfortunately there are not console errors or php errors that I can see. Any ideas? MODx 2.8.8 PHP 8.3 ![image](https://modx-community.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/original/2X/0/0c7d238e5af55504d3ea3576ace9bef3bd53770c.png) ---

Open the developer tools in the browser and go to the “Network” tab. Then click the reload button (↻) under the grid. This should create a new AJAX-request with the parameter “action” = `Articles\Processors\Article\GetList`. What is the response of this request? * * * Maybe also check the database table `modx_site_content` to make sure your _articles_ have the correct value in the column `class_key`. Which should be `Articles\Model\Article`. ---

There is not such request being made which is probably the issue and its loading both the update scripts from assets ![image](https://modx-community.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/original/2X/c/c599c73ed74ea742d5a76a8208ca46cd1e8a92f4.png) and the class\_key for the resource is `ArticleContainer` Thank you for the reply ---

If you click the reload button (↻) under the grid, there should only be **one** new request that gets added to the list. “Name” is probably `connector.php` and when you click on the request in the list, the request parameter “action” should be equal to `article/getList` (in MODX 2.x). What is the response of this request? * * * What version of the extra _Articles_ are you using? 1.7.11-pl? ---

The response is `{"success":false}` and yes I am using 1.7.11-pl
