Topic: Freshly installed MDB Pro - Black Screen
I just downloaded MDB Pro 4.7.0. Installed it under C: Unzipped it. Opened "index.html" without making any modification. Tried to open it with Chrome (bare download, no plug in whatsoever) : I get a black screen. Tried to open it in Firefox (latest updates) : sometimes it opens normally, most of the times, it opens with a black screen and a never ending 'loading' animation. I have to close the tab, wait over two minutes, and then open the index.html again so that it is displayed in the browser. Tried to delete the package and re-download : same results. Edited out the call to fontawesome : no change on Chrome, slightly better on Firefox : the browser can read the index.html more often, and the wait is shorter. But still, the browser cannot read the "index.html" file most of the time.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I reported the following to the MDB team today
Try editing mdb.js and change the part related to the preloader like this:
var loaded = false;
$(window).on('load', function () {
loaded = true;
});
$(function () {
$('body').attr('aria-busy', true);
$(window).on('load', function () {
console.log('BUBI LOAD');
});
$('#preloader-markup').load('mdb-addons/preloader.html', function () {
console.log('PRELO LOAD');
if(loaded) {
$('#mdb-preloader').fadeOut('slow');
$('body').removeAttr('aria-busy');
} else {
$(window).on('load', function () {
$('#mdb-preloader').fadeOut('slow');
$('body').removeAttr('aria-busy');
});
}
});
});

I'm unable to see your screenshot - it returns status 408 (Request timeout). Can you upload the screenshot to somewhere where we can see it?

Update : I installed the Free version : it works perfectly.So I proceeded to add one by one the other files and folders to check which one causes the problem. It's the file named mdb.min.css I can add everything else from the Pro version, and things work normally, but if add this mdb.min.css file, I cannot read the index.html file : it's just a black page. (adding the preloader.html file makes a "processing" icon appear on top of the page, but I guess this is not a mistake). Hope this helps you help me.

Update 2 : if I use the MDB Pro install and I remove the mdb.min.css, I get this : http://www.espritjdr.net/Upload/sylvain/Capture3.JPG

Hi All, same here (Pro works not, Free works) any solutions so far?

Editing out the part refering to the preloader in the index file works. I don't know what's going on between the preloader html and the mdb.min.css but it seems to be causing the problem.
