Defaul Pages not accesiable 9.1.1.1 Started By Jeffwest1 I have an upgraded site up and running, however when i try and look at the default pages i get the error 'There was an error retrieving your content. Please check your internet connection' This happens when not only connecting via my intranet (This is a internal site only), but also when i go to the server that it sits on and run it from there. I have seen some posts about this in earlier versins, and other about the search page being removed, which it hasn't, so I am stumped, no errors...	6	3280	3	12/24/2019 6:48 AM by Jeffwest1
RSS Feeds no longer working Started By Stuart Hi, I recently set up a news/blog tool to run from an RSS feed from the same module on a different website. At the time I tested a couple of well known News and Blog modules plus the News Feed RSS dnn module. The feeds worked fine in all of them. Now I cannot get any of the feeds to work at all even using the same modules as previously. Anyone any ideas or tests I can run to find out why.	2	2040	1	3/3/2020 10:51 AM by Stuart
Pages missing in sitemap Started By Andrew I just discovered on two portals in two different installs so far that many pages were not being included in the sitemap. One DNN 9.4.4 install and one DNN 9.2.2 install. I since discovered that many pages were set with a Sitemap Priority of 0 by default (with the dropdown saying please select) when they were created and therefor didn't meet the threshold minimum of 0.1 for inclusion. This never used to happen and it seems pretty random which pages were created like this. To get the pages includ...	2	2359	0	3/1/2020 8:40 PM by Andrew
Exceptions Loading Modules that don't appear in Extensions Started By RichardHowells In my log file (in \Portals\_default\Logs) I see exceptions where DNN is trying to load BusinessControllerClasses for old Extensions that were on the site at one time, but are no longer there. I find that these appear in the BusinessControllerClass column of the DesktopModules table. There are matching ModuleDefinition table entries and Module table entries. They don't appear in the UI when I look in Extensions. I'm puzzled as to why they don't appear in the Extensions UI. I'd also li...	5	3139	1	2/28/2020 7:03 AM by RichardHowells
Images over https Started By Betacam Hiya I have just set up a LetsEncrypt cert on a dnn8 site. Things work as expected except any images in html modules which seem to be fetched over http resulting in the 'Not secure' chrome warning. (Grrr) Does anyone know a remedy please. Thanks	3	2567	1	2/27/2020 9:40 AM by Betacam
Deleting Spam Users Started By thx1200 Although DNN has come a long way with user registration, we still get our fair share of spam registrations as a public website. Some use throwaway email addresses, others never verify. DNN9 doesn't really have good bulk user management tools and it's been long enough now that I wanted to do a big nuke on all the unverified accounts (about 9000). Is the advice from this old article still valid Last time I did this was with DNN7, so I'm not sure 9 changed enough that this won't work or may ...	3	2484	2	2/17/2020 11:33 PM by thx1200

Analytics Host Alert Started By RichO I intially attempted to set up the Google Anayltics Connector on 9.4.4 installation. The code generated was wrong and showing on the pages, so I deleted the Connector figuring I did not enter the correct data in the Connector.

DNN as Azure App Service Started By Al Williams Hello, I'm trying to get DNN up and running on Azure. The site was built locally and with my Azure account, I created an App Service. The DNN website files were uploaded to Azure. I also have a SQL Server instance on Azure. I am getting this error in the DNN log file: 2019-11-01 00:04:16.62900:00 [RD00155D7DD486][ERROR] DotNetNuke.Common.Initialize - The connection to the database has failed, however, the application is already completely installed, a 500 error page will be sho...	3	5873	1	11/1/2019 1:28 PM by Al Williams
