Admin appearing anonymous on Activity Stream Started By ccurrie How do I ensure that our admin do not appear anonymous at all when interacting on the site I upload multiple calendar events a day and every time I do, the Activity Feed shows my new events from Anonymous instead of my admin username. My coworker responds to many questions a day and her responses sometimes show up as her and other times shows up as anonymous but she says she has done nothing different. The only help I can find on DNN forum is that we were accidently 'soft deleted' but that is n...	1	2264	0	3/13/2020 9:47 AM by ccurrie
JQuery and JS Libraries Started By Cmis We have had a pen test fail because DNN is running outdated libraries. I found posts in the old DNN forum from a few years ago that say do not update the libraries because it may start to mess up the DNN UI. Can anyone provide some advice for this now in 2020 And how we would go about updating our libraries Thanks, Scott	6	4679	2	3/9/2020 8:57 AM by Cmis

Profile pictures missing Started By jbooth59 I have a new dev environment and added a couple users to it for some testing. Initially after adding a profile pic to those users all was fine. It was displayed correctly in the MyProfile page as well as in the User ribbon on the top of each page. I was making some changes to the profile and changed the picture to see what the outcome would be as I did not like the previous. Now I have nothing but the blank profile picture avatar in both sections. If I login under admin and edit the user I ...	1	1997	1	3/9/2020 3:01 PM by jbooth59

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	3368	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	2163	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	2418	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	3213	1	2/28/2020 7:03 AM by RichardHowells
