Knowledge base

Solutions we have tested ourselves on DLE 15.1–21.0: updates and errors, SEO, security, AI.

DLE 18 minute read Upgrading to DLE 21.0: what breaks, tested on 16 versions We upgraded copies of our DLE 15.0–20.0 test sites and a clean 12.0 install in windows-1251 to 21.0. The database takes 1 to 28 seconds, PHP 7.4 gives a blank page, the archive overwrites .htaccess and robots.txt, and the broken links in signatures actually date back to 18.0. Read the article

How the DLEMod knowledge base works

We build modules for DataLife Engine and keep a test site for every DLE version from 15.1 to 21.0, on different PHP versions. Almost everything here we ran into ourselves first: an error after an update, an incompatible plugin, an AI API refusing a request, site mail landing in spam.

Which DLE versions do the articles cover?

We verify fixes on DataLife Engine test sites from 15.1 to 21.0. If a method does not work everywhere, the article says so: which version it works from and what to do on older ones. Every article ends with a “Tested on” line.

Who writes the articles?

The DLEMod team — developers of DLE modules. The material comes from our own work: bugs we fix in modules, tests on our DLE sites, questions from customers and forums.

Are the articles paid?

No, all articles are open and need no sign-up. If we have a module on the topic, a link to it sits in a separate block at the end of the article.

How can I suggest a topic or ask a question?

Write to us via the contacts at the bottom of the site. Questions that come up often get their own article.
