Report a Bug

Bugs are errors in the system. If you find a bug in your Omeka Classic installation, please let us know.

Before reporting a bug

Always check to see if it has already been reported. You can search the Forum and our Github repositories to see if the bug you have found has been identified. Feel free to respond to an existing issue to let us know that you are experiencing the same thing. You can include which version you are using, and the versions of any relevant plugins, or copy-and-paste what your System Information page says.

Where to report

Users of varying technical skill report bugs in different places.

We encourage novice users to post bugs to the Omeka Classic Forum if they think something is broken, but don't know why. If you believe it is an issue with a certain plugin or theme, use the Forum categories for those.

Developers and other users who have an interest in programming can report bugs as issues on GitHub. Issues can be with the core software, or with a plugin or theme. Some plugins and themes are not maintained by the Omeka team, so use the plugins directory and themes directory to find the correct Github repository to report the issue.

If you are unsure whether it is code within a plugin/theme or an interaction best solved within the core code itself, bring it to our attention on the Forum first and we can direct you or take it on ourselves. Be careful not to post Omeka Classic issues in the Omeka S forum or repository, and vice versa.

If you would like to suggest a solution in code along with your bug report, please use Github to do so by creating a branch and submitting a pull request.
