HTML export doesn't work when #+TITLE: is added

HTML export doesn't work when #+TITLE: is added

[Lohan Gunaweera]

Hello, I am new to this mailing list and relatively new to org-mode too.

I am running org-mode 8.3.1 with Emacs 24.5.1. When I attempt to export
a file that contains #+TITLE: the export fails. Instead I am shown the
following message:

"Wrong type argument: listp, #("Title_of_the_document" 0 40 (: parent (#0)))

Until now I was using emacs 23, the version provided by my operating
system (Trisquel 6) org export worked without any problem until I
installed the latest version.

What can I do to resolve this issue?

Regards,
Lohan

This looks similar to previous issues related to a loaded version of Org
interfering with the update (for example,
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/99535).

Please uninstall and then update again without any version of Org
loaded.

Thanks very much Kyle!

I reinstalled emacs and then installed org-mode from within emacs
list-packages.

Exports are working fine now.

Hi Org-ML,

I'm trying to resolve an issue similar to the one here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2015-08/msg01195.html

Where I cannot export a file with a #+TITLE in it with the latest
org-mode release.

The solution that Kyle refers to[0] is to uninstall and then update
again with the latest org version. Can someone tell me how to do that? I
have tried running emacs with `emacs -q` and even then the older version
of org-mode installed in /usr/local/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/org is loaded
so it interferes.

Do I really need to uninstall emacs and then re-install it to be able to
use the newer org-mode version (8.3.1)? Is there not a way to override
the installed version of org-mode with a newer one from ELPA?

To follow-up on this, this was due to having in my init.el:

(setq package-enable-at-startup nil)

Which meant that packages were not initialized at the beginning of my
configuration, only at the end. Removing this line has fixed my issue.
