Describe the Scenario

Hello,
I encounter two problems with BookStack 24.12.1. The first is that the WYSIWYG editor don't appear. I tried to remove the cache as seen on a topic here, but the problem is the same.
The second is that I need to change the URL of BookStack (add a port to the URL). I changed the URL in the .env file, executed the indicated commands [here], removed the cache, launched from the maintenance tab the references regeneration, but the port is not used in the URLs. The laravel.log file doesn't contain datas from many hours.

The first is that the WYSIWYG editor don't appear.

Are you familiar with the browser developer console? It would be helpful to know any errors shown there.
It can often be opened via F12 or via the browser menu. View the "Console" tab then reload the page where the editor would show, then report back any (usually red) error messages.

I changed the URL in the .env file, [...] but the port is not used in the URLs.

What changes are you specifically making in the .env file?
What is the output of running ls -alh bootstrap/cache from your BookStack install folder?
How are you validating if the port is used in the URLs?

Thanks for your answer.

I just add the port in the APP_URL variable.
I have config.php (that contain many variables with the URL), .gitignore, packages.php and services.php. Does I need to update the config.php or is it auto-generated and can be updated by an action ?
The links still use the old URL.

By updating manually the bootstrap/cache/config.php, the links are okay.

The first is that the WYSIWYG editor don't appear.

Thanks, It was due to the CSP. It's okay now.

Thanks @RickFr410.
By having a bootstrap/cache/config.php file, that generally indicates you've ran a caching or optimization command, which is not something that's part of our guidance.
While that's there, changes to .env file won't take effect unless you re-run the same command or manually delete that bootstrap/cache/config.php file.

I installed by following the install documentation. The config file disappeared probably after update to the latest version.
