Introduction

Safe mode provides a way to disabling most customisations in TiddlyWiki. This is useful because if TiddlyWiki is customised incorrectly it can be rendered inoperable. A particular issue is that some customisations break when upgrading to a newer core version of TiddlyWiki (especially during the beta).

Enabling Safe Mode

Safe mode is enabled in the browser by starting TiddlyWiki with the URL hash set to the string #:safe. For example:

https://tiddlywiki.com/#:safe

How Safe Mode Works

Safe mode triggers two changes:

• All plugins are temporarily disabled. You can use the control panel to disable individual plugins
• Any tiddlers that override shadow tiddlers are renamed to give them the prefix SAFE: , thus restoring the underlying shadow tiddler
• Certain configuration options are ignored, and the default settings used instead:
  • WikiParserRuleConfiguration

A report tiddler is displayed that allows you to inspect the tiddlers that were renamed.
