Summary of the issue you are facing:

The News app was labeled as “not compatible” with NC 32, but worked fine nevertheless after I re-activated it manually. However, the log is flooded now with the same message over and over again:

Cannot retrieve value of undefined directive URI.AllowedSymbols invoked on line 111 in file /www/htdocs/my-url/cloud/apps/news/vendor/ezyang/htmlpurifier/library/HTMLPurifier/URI.php at /www/htdocs/my-url/cloud/apps/news/vendor/ezyang/htmlpurifier/library/HTMLPurifier/Config.php#904

All I can do is to point ouf this behaviour here so that a competent person can fix the problem (which I’ve never seen before). Thanks!

P.S..: I found a similar issue in an older thread which is closed already, see

Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):

  1. Update existing NC to 32.0.1

  2. reactivate the News app

  3. App works fine, but error messages keep pouring in
