Overview

If you want to disable the Structured Content (Liquid Content) microservice you need to do it via a SQL script. There is no option to disable it in the site UI.

Prerequisites

• SuperUser Access

Solution

• You can manually disable the Structured Content from the database by running the SQL script by going into Settings > SQL Console. Please make a backup prior to making the change:

UPDATE PortalSettings
SET SettingValue = 'False'
WHERE SettingName = 'StructuredContentEnabled' AND PortalID = <insert_the_correct_PortalID_here>;

• When you have multiple portals running in your DNN instance, you can check the correct portal ID by running the following script:

SELECT * FROM PortalAlias;

• Please take note that the same SettingName "StructuredContentEnabled" can be found in the HostSettings table as well. This affects all portals in your DNN instance.
• After disabling Structured Content, do the following:
  1. Go to your site's Persona Bar > Settings > Servers > Clear Cache and click on Restart Application
  2. Refresh the page.
  3. Go to Persona Bar > Settings > Services > Structured Content and hit "Enable".
  4. Go to Persona Bar > Content > Content Library again and see if you are able to pull up both Content and Content Types tabs.

Testing

You can test that Liquid Content has been disabled by:

1. Log in as a SuperUser
2. Go to Content > Content Library
3. You should be prompted to opt in to Liquid Content, this message is shown if Liquid Content is disabled.
