Thank you so much for spending time on this.
When I visit update.php I see a page I end up on when tracking down the error reports. The page seems stuck on item #1, the incompatible theme Bartik. Maybe Drupal does not want me to run updates as long as the bad theme is in the system?
I found the bartik.info.yml file. What if a change this line
core_version_requirement: ^9 || ^10
change 10 to 11. Then maybe i'll get the Uninstall option?
I want to take you up on your offer to work together. Timezone will be the challenge. I am in Hawaii, HST, GMT-10. Try to get to bed by 8:30 because I get up at 4:30.
I want to try the database documentation link you sent but might not get to it until the weekend.
Thanks again,
Gary
Yes I migrated from Drupal 7. Can I uninstall, fetch a new copy, and install? I mean is that worth doing?
I'm not sure what you mean by by visit update.php. I opened it with the editor, added va blank line and saved. But why would that trigger a reindex? I recall a touch command in Unix that did magic things like that. I am hosted on GoDaddy and don't seem to have drush. I do have composer, thankfully. As for Bartik, the entry in appearance has no delete option. The other themes do. I tried to follow the linked instructions but keep renning into instructions I don't understand.
Possibly related??? Especially #4 below.
On the Status report page, Status Details, I have four errors.
1. Some modules have database schema updates to install. You should run the database update script immediately.
2. Mismatched entity and/or field definitions
The following changes were detected in the entity type and field definitions.
URL alias
The URL alias entity type needs to be updated.
(I have no idea how to fix that.)
3. The following theme is installed, but it is incompatible with Drupal 11.1.1:
Bartik
(Nothing I tried has worked. This is connected to error #1.)
4. Transaction isolation level
READ-COMMITTED
For this to work correctly, all tables must have a primary key. The following table(s) do not have a primary key: drup_forum_index. See the setting MySQL transaction isolation level page for more information.
(I have read through the instructions but my skill level is not high enough to understand.)
Appreciate all the help.
From the Node section

For troubleshooting I checked all boxes except Anonymous user.
I can't see a way to insert a screenshot but this is my forum topic manage fields page
Label / Machine name / Fields type
Body / body / Test (formatted, long, with summary)
Comments / comment_forum / Comments
Forums / field_forums / Entity references, reference type: Taxonomy term, Vocabulary: Forums
On the Taxonomy page I have two entries, Forums and Tags. Clicking on List terms for the Forum row I see the only forum I still have, status is published. From there I go to Manage permissions an see a list of six rows. I set them same as above, all enabled except for Anonymous user.
Gary here. woh is my company, Winds of Hawi. Maybe I should fix that. I do not see a forum content type. I have a "Forum topic" content type: "A forum topic starts a new discussion thread within a forum." That appears to be different than replaying to post. But, I can't even start a new thread. I do not see a taxonomy_forums field. On the Manage Fields page, Forums row, I see machine name "field_forums" and under Field type, Entity reference Reference type: Taxonomy term Vocabulary: Forums.
In the permissions page, Forums section, I only have "Administer forums" and only assigned to Administrator.
I hope this helps.
I fixed it. I was trying to create a submenu and managed to get Drupal confused. When I undid my work the Home tab started working. Now if only I can find the bug report I submitted.
What do you mean by 'not clearing' - the form fields are still filled in after submission?
Yes.
