You can log out by clicking your name in the top-right corner of the admin dashboard, or by pasting /admin/logout/ after your website's URL in the browser.
- Clear browser Cache (chrome specific, paste and search the following, choose to clear for 'all time'): chrome://settings/clearBrowserData

Easily create a modern, visually engaging grid of buttons that automatically adjusts to fit your page layout. With the new Button Grid feature, you can highlight key links and resources in an organized, responsive format — no extra coding needed. Just add your links, choose your style, and let Foxbright handle the rest!
Note: The Button Grid is a free enhancement that has already been added to all modern template designs. Custom designs will need the feature added manually. Contact [email protected] to request the button grid if you don't see the option in the editor.
Foxbright is currently working to resolve an issue causing errors when using the site search, and preventing file attachments in data driven modules from displaying, for example files attached to news posts, calendar events, or in the file search block type.
- The issue isn't present for logged-in users viewing a public page.
- File links within rich text are not affected. If highly important files are currently not displaying, they could be added as rich text links while we work to resolve the issue.
- Update: Remaining websites with the issue will be upgraded the evenings of June 4th & 5th.
Foxbright has received notice from Microsoft (Azure) regarding urgent maintenance for their data centers. This unscheduled maintenance will occur beginning at 7pm CDT/8pm EST. Websites may restart or experience brief outages beginning at 8pm EST or later. We recommend avoiding website updates this evening to prevent lost work. From Azure: "Due to a critical hotfix or urgent update, (Azure) App Service was not able to provide an advanced notification." These updates will not affect self-hosted websites.
