Issue

  • When using a base theme generated by the theme generator following the steps listed here, the portlet menu only displays "Permissions" and "Configuration Templates".

Environment

  • Themes generated for Liferay 7.4 using version 10.x.x of the Theme Generator

Resolution

  1. Open the theme war file.
  2. Go to templates/portlet.ftl.
  3. Change any instances of liferay_portlet to liferay_frontend(e.g. change <@liferay_portlet["icon-options"] to <@liferay_frontend["icon-options"]).

Note: There have been some reports of themes that were upgraded for Liferay 7.4 not working with the suggested changes above. Please be advised that you may need to adjust the "devDependencies" section of your theme's package.json to their latest versions.
