Hello!  
I fucked up editing the filters page and now I’m stuck with a blank page,  
I’m trying to edit the file via command line but I cannot find it. Can someone point where to look? I also looked and the database with no luck

Thanks!

Ok… got it!  
The filter config is in the database (no wonder why I couldn’t find the file…), the exact parameter was:

- { “\_id” : “ui.filters.3.type”, “value” : “string” } \<-- wrong
- { “\_id” : “ui.filters.3.type”, “value” : “‘string’” } \<-- right!

Everything working now

Just so its clear to other people whats going on, I’ve put this in a code block so the changes are more visible without the curly quotes discord uses.

```auto
{ "_id" : "ui.filters.3.type", "value" : "string" } <-- wrong
{ "_id" : "ui.filters.3.type", "value" : "'string'" } <-- right!

```
