v11.1 Sidebar menu appears collapsed by default

After importing my project that was made using 10.9 into 11.1, the default appearance of the side bar (menu) is now collapsed for all pages. When I build the same app with 10.9 it appears expanded by detault ( and is collapsible), which is what I want. But then I build with 11.1 it appears collapsed by default (eventhough still expandable).
The parameters on the still page for both versions are the same.

This is from 10.9
img alt

This is from 11.1
img alt

So why this behaviour?

The behavior you're experiencing with the sidebar (menu) in PHPRunner 11.1, where it defaults to being collapsed compared to the expanded state in version 10.9, could be due to changes in the way PHPRunner handles the sidebar's default state in the newer version.

Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

  1. Check Project Settings: Ensure you’ve checked the project settings in PHPRunner 11.1 to verify if there is a specific setting for the sidebar default state. Sometimes, options may change between versions.


  2. Review CSS/JavaScript: Since the appearance of the sidebar can often be influenced by CSS or JavaScript settings, check if there are any custom styles or scripts that might be affecting the sidebar’s behavior. Compare the generated code between the two versions.


  3. Look for Theme Settings: Different themes may have different default behaviors. Check if the theme you're using in version 11.1 has options related to the sidebar's initial state.


  4. Reset to Default: Consider resetting the sidebar settings to default in PHPRunner 11.1 and then reconfiguring them to see if this resolves the issue.


  5. Project Import Process: Sometimes, when importing projects between different versions, not all settings carry over perfectly. If you have access to the original 10.9 project, try to manually adjust the sidebar settings in 11.1 to match what you had in 10.9.


  6. Consult Documentation/Support: Review the release notes or documentation for PHPRunner 11.1 for any notes on changes related to the sidebar behavior. If you still have issues, you can reach out to PHPRunner support or community forums for more specific guidance.



If none of these steps resolve the issue, consider posting your question on the PHPRunner support forums, where other users and the developers can provide insights specific to your project and version changes.

The custom css is the same in both versions and all other settings are exactly the same.

Has anyone else run into this challenge?
