Thanks guys, working again 
Working fine for weeks, now HACS does not load and I get this error:
[Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)] Restore Failed!
8:34 AM custom_components/hacs/hacsbase/data.py (CRITICAL)
Tried uninstall/reinstall, etc, nothing brings HACS back. Running 0.97.2. Any advise?
Sounds like you haven’t properly downloaded HACS - what is the contents of custom_components/hacs/hacsbase/data.py ?
Here’s data.py. I got the error before upgrading to 0.13. Hadn’t done anything to alter HACS installation. Thanks for taking a look.

That error was added in 0.13

Done, thanks!
It would be great to add Lovelace Flower Card.

It is normal that for some plugins could not determine plugin type?
Having trouble…I’m running Hass.io on a NUC running Ubuntu. HACS was working fine, and the time has come to update HA from HA 0.95.4. I was on HACS 0.11.1, and docs say I need to go to 0.12 before I go to 0.13. I downloaded the zip file for 0.12.1, replaced the custom_components/hacs folder with the new one, and restarted HA. HACS was working - but I stupidly didn’t notice the version number. I upgraded to HA 0.97.2 - now HACS isn’t working. I see the error page, with 500 Server Error. Settings page says I’m on 0.11.1. I’ve tried to update to 0.12.1 several times by replacing the custom_components/hacs folder and restarting. It still says on on 0.11.1. I don’t know that I should try 0.13 if I never got to 0.12. How do I get HACS to update so I can get everything working again?
I’m frustrated that I can’t figure this out, but at least I am having fun reading all the error messages in HACS
if it still say 11 you are not restarting.
I have restarted multiple times.
No, that is not possible, HACS show the version from a file in the zip.
When you restart in the UI it will actually not restart if you have config issues.
Well, that’s annoying. I was restarting from the UI. I restarted from the terminal and now it’s working and says I’m on 0.12.1. Thanks so much for the help and the quick response time! Now to update to 0.13…

I am completely up to date - HACS working brilliantly, all my custom components and cards have been updated. I don’t really understand why the UI restart was unhappy - the only error I had was for the Alexa Media component (which I needed HACS to update - it’s a bit of a “chicken and the egg” dilemma, I guess!) I will just use the terminal to config check and restart - it’s probably easier anyway, thanks to frenck. I like the changes you’ve added recently. Great to just click a button and remove all the “new” labels without editing .storage files. Thanks so much for all your hard work on this, @ludeeus!
Issue, Unable to see community tab on left hand side
I uninstalled custom_updater. I deleted from yaml custom updater.
I moved files to correct directory. I added correct yaml. I have restarted many times. The config comes back good. Still nothing…
Any ideas?
This aimed at me?
Probably so.
nick, I looked at issues, not seeing what I am doing wrong. However I’ll try updating HA. i think im only a few weeks behind
You’re not supposed to be looking at issues. If you have an issue, post there. It is clearly stated many times in this thread.

Just a quick question about first time setup, I’m just setting up HACS latest stable on a new HA system, I’ve just installed it, the restarting HA and it’s saying:
‘Background task running, this page will reload when it’s done.’
I’m happy to wait for it to do it’s thing, it’s been around 12 mins so far, but how long should I wait before assuming I may need to do something like manual refresh or HA restart? I check the FAQ and this wasn’t mentioned. Thanks.
