I just upgraded my site to DNN 9.9.0 and its still on the old version of CKeditor (ver. 2.1.12). Is the correct, since I think the latest version of CKeditor is 5x? Should it automatically upgrade the text editor too??

Essentially, I haven't been able to access the CKeditor settings in Site Settings/Site Behavior for quite sometime now, including earlier versions of the site. Anyway, I click on the button to edit the settings under Site Settings and nothing happens. I have to access CKeditor through HTML module (Custom Editor Options), but any configuration changes only apply to the single instance of the module--not global--even if I click on global).

DNN ships the CKeditor so it should upgrade along with DNN itself.
We are now at 4.15.1

I think you are using Ingo's previous (now archived) CkEditor.

Make sure you have this in your web.config:

<code> < htmlEditor defaultProvider="DNNConnect.CKE"><br />       < providers><br />         < clear /><br />         < add name="DNNConnect.CKE" type="DNNConnect.CKEditorProvider.CKHtmlEditorProvider, DNNConnect.CKEditorProvider" providerPath="~/Providers/HtmlEditorProviders/DNNConnect.CKE/" settingsControlPath="~/Providers/HtmlEditorProviders/DNNConnect.CKE/Module/EditorConfigManager.ascx" /><br />       < /providers><br />     < /htmlEditor></code>
