This screenshot is from Microsoft Edge on Windows

post a screenshot of an entire browser window. don’t cut out things.
are the other prefs sections there? what’s with the huge white empty space above the authentication panel?
are you making this harder than necessary on purpose? use chrome, take a screenshot of an entire window, don’t cut or blank shit out, etc.
here’s how this should look on edge (at default settings) on windows 10. note how there’s no huge empty space or broken layout.
e: alright, huge blank space looks like an edge-specific issue which happens sometimes when opening preferences in a really tiny window. see, this is why using obscure browsers nobody cares about simply adds to the overall confusion.

Sorry for the confusion with shitty edge

interesting. other preferences are there so it’s probably not database-related. so it’s just language, timezone and theme / user CSS which are not shown for some reason.
i’m not sure what could cause broken layout in that particular area, maybe a strange theme filename in themes / themes.local? i.e. something with a quote sign. ← i’ve tested with some weird filenames and couldn’t break it, unfortunately.

even after removing all files the problem is still present

yeah, i’ve tried with those filenames and it didn’t break anything.
i think at this point you should dump and PM me the database, maybe that’ll help. i’m out of other ideas.

the structure ? because the database is 2 or 3 Go
3,9G ./postgres/data/

Did you think it could be related to nginx and or phpfpm as you said the database was not in fault ?

Same thing afer removing g2ttrss-mobile

the structure won’t help i’m afraid. i’m not sure if a dump would help at all tbh.
you can try this to reduce the size:
- pg_dump your actual tt-rss database
- load the dump in a temporary different database
delete from ttrss_entries cascade
- dump the resulting much smaller dataset
anything is possible but it’s extremely unlikely that fpm or nginx has something to do with it (unless you’re modifying returned HTML with it by using something like ngx_http_sub_module``).

Ok i will do that during the day, also i have plan to review my configuration of the 2 nginx
thx

you can also try this:
pull tt-rss (no third party plugins / themes) in a separate directory, let it use your working database, see if preferences are there.

I have found the problem and … it’s me …
precisely i switch my pgsql alpine 12 container to a centos pgsql 12 one
but the minor version release is 12.2 on alpine versus 12.1 on centos
while we can upgrade minor release the release note of the 12.2 warn about foreign key :
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/release/12.2/
so downgrade was not a genius idea without dump restore …
Thank you for your time and the help and sorry for that

ah so this was database-related after all. well, at least we got another unrelated issue fixed because of this thread.

Yes and now i have a test env for my bullshit 
note i have try to do the “delete from ttrss_entries cascade” to see what it’s doing
and the result is nothing more than “DELETE 669953” but no effect on the setting view with pgsql 12.1 still broken
I have notice than even when i set the light theme the autonight mode is still switching (based on the browser theme)
Do you prefer i open another topic after enhanced testing ?
fox

first of all try installing the bundled empty schema on a blank test database to see if this issue remains. it could be either specific to pgsql 12 or your possibly corrupted database.
eh don’t bother
e: i’ve tested on a postgresql 12.2 (latest from docker, alpine image) and i’m not seeing any issues with preferences.

i can change the theme on my user, but on the admin it still return to “défaut”, while i dont care about the admin account, i will not dig more (unless you need it to improve ttrss)
thank you
fox

i couldn’t replicate this either, on my test instance themes switch just fine for admin user.

Hello,
After pg_dump my 12.2 database and import back on my 12.1 everything is fine and everyone (user and admin) can choose is own theme.
Also they are no missing parameter in prefs.php > Configuration > General
