Trema

Trema 5.2.1.0 is out!
Hi Trema fans! A new release landed today, and it's a good one.
This update polishes the front page including support for swiping on touch devices, nicer card layouts, and richer subtitle formatting. It also brings a batch of accessibility improvements, especially for screen reader users. There are also fixes for smoother carousel behaviour (including a Firefox quirk), tidier admin and quiz pages, and broader compatibility across supported Moodle versions (4.1 to 5.2).
For the full list of changes, see the release notes.
As always, thanks for using Trema. Your feedback and bug reports help make it better.
The Trema Theme Team

I am reporting a reproducible issue in my Moodle platform that appears to be caused specifically by the Trema theme.
Environment
Moodle version: 4.5.8 (Build: 20251208)
PHP: 8.1.34
MariaDB: 10.11.16
Apache: 2.4.62
Theme involved: Trema
Observed problem
When Trema is active, Moodle messaging becomes inconsistent in the user interface:
messages are actually sent successfully,
messages are stored in the database,
messages are delivered to the recipient,
email notifications may also be sent correctly,
but the messaging UI shows "Retry" as if sending had failed.
So the backend works, but the frontend behaves as if the message had not been confirmed correctly.
Important detail
This issue is theme-dependent in my installation.
I performed a clean reinstall / recovery process and tested again:
with Boost active, messaging works correctly,
when I switch to Trema, the problem appears again,
when I switch back to Boost, the problem disappears.
This strongly suggests a conflict in Trema affecting Moodle messaging, most likely at frontend level (JS / AMD / template / renderer interaction with "core_message").
What I verified
I checked the issue carefully before isolating it to the theme:
messages are inserted correctly in "mdl_messages",
conversations and conversation members are consistent,
no obvious database corruption was found in messaging tables,
Moodle cron is running,
the issue is not caused by mail delivery,
the issue is not caused by the database backend,
the issue disappears when Trema is not used.
Behavior in practice
With Trema enabled:
user sends a message,
the message is actually delivered,
UI briefly shows a pending state,
then the interface marks it as failed / "Retry".
With Boost enabled:
the same messaging flow works normally.

Hi. I've installed the Moodle 4.5.8 (Build: 20251208) and Trema 5.1.0.0 (2025100900). Even I haven't switched the theme from boost to Trema, it hides all the moodle default menu, tabs, and page titles (dashboard, site administration). I can do restricted actions, like searching the Trema and see the settings page, but also most of the fields are invisible or hidden. I can't do anything. It crashes the Moodle general view. I can only access the plugins page with changing the URL and uninstall the Trema. Then it brings the Moodle default view. Please help.

We tested Moodle 4.5.6+ with the Trema theme enabled. After switching from Boost/Classic to Trema, the following issues occurred:
Login lockout – reCAPTCHA fails (403 Forbidden when loading image), making login impossible.
Security checks – multiple errors reported (composer.json, .stylelintrc, README, /behat/, /fixtures/ exposed). These do not appear under Boost/Classic.
Impact – reCAPTCHA lockout risk for admins, exposure of sensitive files and paths.
Workaround – reverting to Boost or Classic resolves the issue immediately. Removing Trema from disk and DB cleans the system.
Request: Please investigate Trema’s handling of login page and file references. It seems Trema bypasses Moodle’s secure pluginfile.php mechanism, exposing raw files and breaking CAPTCHA.

Hi,
Unfortunately, this link https://trema.rmady.com.br/demo.html with the following access code:
Login: aluno01
Password: aluno01
Does not work. I would love to view a demo.

Hello I have problems with Trema Theme version: 5.0.0.2
I'm having trouble with this theme. It doesn't display the reCaptcha V2 on the login page, but it does on the registration form page. So it's probably a bug that was found.
Could anyone solve it?

Hi, I have moodle 4.5 and the latest version of the theme. When I go to the section where I evaluate a student, his name and surname go up beyond the screen area. A similar situation is in the Submission section. The first student in the list for review goes under the area where you can select sorting.

Hi Rodrigo,
Thank you so much. Will wait to apply the next release.

Hi Mesfin Teshome,
Thanks for your contribution.
I was able to reproduce and fix the modal overlay override issue on the editor, and I will publish it in the next release.
Kind regards,
Rodrigo Mady

Hello Bob Leake,
Thank you for your contribution.
I need to understand more about this issue to fix it.
Please, can you provide this information:
- What is your current Moodle version?
- What message is showing when you enable debug?
- Is the same happening in the Boost theme?
Kind regards,
Rodrigo Mady

I have been using Trema, very customizable and flexible but not complicated theme. I am currently using Trema 5.0.0.0, 2025041500 with Moodle 5.0. I am facing just one issue. When I add the "Text" block and want to use source code on tools menu in TinyCME editor, the Window for the source code comes up but I cannot type anything. It appears as if it has some overlay on it. I don't know if there are others experiencing this problem.

I have just upgraded to Moodle 5.0 and brought down the new theme but am seeing some weird behavior now. For example: When I try to update the front page banner (or any page other than uploading an image) "I get a site not found ". This is a new one.

Hello John Smith,
Thank you for your contribution.
Can you please give more details about this error? Which Moodle version do you use?
On which page do you see this error? What are the necessary steps to reproduce this error?
Kind regards,
Rodrigo Mady
