Issue

  • When a Web Content Display(WCD) is embedded in the theme header and a web content article is added in that WCD from the existing portal. Due to this, the existing forms will not get submitted because the ID & Portlet Name of selected web content gets attached to every other form.
  • Steps to Replicate
    • Build a theme and embed the web content display inside the header. 
    • Select a web content in that embedded Web Content Display portlet.
    • Create a new user in the site and login with this new user. In the user creation process when you try to update the password or answer the security question, the form will not submit.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.2 GA 1

Resolution

Additional Information

  • It is highly recommended to do the followings before installing a patch:
    1.  Keep the backup of your existing environment before installing/uninstalling the fix. 
    2. We would suggest you test the fix in a lower environment and then move it to production as per your discretion if you feel comfortable with it.
    3. Perform these operations in application server downtime, because these steps require the restart of the server.
