Essentials: Cannot make any [Function] signs. Appear blank.

[Prxmium]

Whenever trying to create [Buy] and [Sell] signs for my spawn, after entering info and clicking done, nothing shows up and they are blank. Also tried with Disposal signs and the same thing happened.

When you modify your config you must make sure to either reload the configuration file in game or restart the server.
You can reload essentials by typing /ess reload.

I am very aware of this. What does that have to do with my signs not working?

[SupaHam]

The signs work fine on EssentialsX as tested multiple times. If they do not work for you and you modified your config without reloading, that is your issue. Based on your config signs would be working just fine.

[Prxmium]

They _should_ be working just fine. I have restarted my server multiple times trying to fix this, so it cannot be for that reason.

[SupaHam]

Pastebin your startup log.

Are you sure you have permissions to create signs?
Op yourself by typing op Coreo in the console.

[Prxmium]

I am opped and placed in a group with the * node.

[SupaHam]

Please do the following:

1. type /ess debug
2. create [buy] sign
3. pastebin console log.

Based on that, the sign is actually being created. Try right click the sign.

[Prxmium]

Still nothing. Nothing comes up in debug either.

[SupaHam]

can I can join the server?

[Prxmium]

Sure one moment. I'm hosting from home at the moment so I need to quickly get portforwarding sorted.

[Prxmium]

Sorry that took so long. IP is xxx.

[SupaHam]

I'm actually clueless!

I've tested every single plugin and exact version you're using, including git-Spigot-5391d73-00359a1 and everything works perfectly. No empty signs on my end.

Edit: I'd say it's the world, but we created a brand new one and it works just fine and normal non-EssentialsX sign text works as expected.

[Prxmium]

Extremely weird. Any way of re-opening the issue so it's visible on the main page? And thanks so much for all your help thus far.

[SupaHam]

Could you please try update to the latest spigot. A bit of a long shot but I'm all out of ideas.

[Prxmium]

Oddly enough, that seems to have done the trick. I had no clue there was a new version out until you mentioned it. I literally started working on this today. Thanks again, SupaHam. :)

[SupaHam]

._. that is literally the worst timing ever. Thanks Obama!

I have this same issue with EssentialsX Version 2.17.1.0 on git-Spigot-cbd1a1b-009d8af (MC 1.14.4) with LuckPerms 5.0.39 as permissions management plugin.
Same as @Prxmium there's nothing logged in debug mode when I create signs but no sign works.
My Config is correct; signs are enabled.

@Marshal313 Could you create a new issue for your problem and fill out the appropriate template?

[DanteMarshal]

Sure. I'll try changing ess and server settings a little then will post a new issue if nothing worked.
Otherwise will report how it was fixed here.

Update
I checked my Server's log, and found that GeoIP plugin is throwing an exception when trying to read its Database : Server.log
So I removed the GeoIP and XMPP jars (with their associated config directories) from my plugins folder and it works fine now.
