Hi,
I recently upgraded a portal to DNN 9.6.1. After this, the CKEditor Provider did not allow to search the server for a document to link to, or an image etc.). I was using Ingo Herbote's CK Editor Provider, but as written in the GitHub repo, the project is closed and not maintained anymore.
Some years ago, I migrated a few other sites from Ingo's provider to the DNNConnect provider and never had any problems with this (see my blog post on the DNN Software Community blog). But this time it is a desaster.
Entering/changing content in the HTML module is not possible. The following exception is logged:
And even worse: When I try to go to the HTML Editor manager to switch back I get this error:
ExceptionHash:b7DOl69Ktl2mjYTDhxUElZ9vRBU= Message:Object reference not set to an instance of an object. StackTrace: InnerMessage:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Any help?
Happy DNNing! Michael
Did you alredy try resetting the folder rights of the folders through the Asset Manager?
No. What exactly? (The site is quite big) I deleted all records in the table [CKE_Settings], now I got rid of these errors. The problem is that I had more than 24k records in the table, and I don't know how to get them back (different roles had different toolbars etc.) Next problem: the Rich Text editor only shows a link ("Editor Options") and the buttons at the bottom. I can switch to a simple textbox, but I think no one is able to edit HTML here... :-)
The console in the developer tools gives me a lot of these JS errors:
ckeditor.js:80 GET http://www.mysite.com/Pro...bed/plugin.js?t=F7J9 net::ERR_ABORTED 404 (Not Found)
and finally this one:
Uncaught [CKEDITOR.resourceManager.load] Resource name "embed" was not found at "http://www.mysite.com/Providers/HtmlEditorProviders/DNNConnect.CKE/js/ckeditor/4.5.3/plugins/embed/plugin.js?t=F7J9"
Any ideas about this?
Solved. Phew... I compared the DNN.CKEditorSettings.xml file with the one on a blank install, and found out that the value for extraplugins was only "dnnpages" there (instead of the copied value, which was "autosave, mathjax, embed, tableresize, textselection, notification, stylesheetparser, qrcodes, newsarticleslinks, codemirror, codesnippet, dnnpages, xmltemplates, wordcount"). I changed the value in the XML file, but still the errors came along. So I was looking into the DNN CKE_Settings table, and found that there was a setting (DNNCKP#0#ExtraPlugins) with the value above. I changed this value to "dnnpages", restarted the app pool and now it works. Happy DNNing! Michael
I have Same error but I do same your method but I couldn't fix it.

Just the same here on DNN 9.9.0!
Strangely, the exception fires only on portal #0, but on other portals inside same DNN install it's all OK.
The CKEditor_Settings table not contain any settings for portal #0.
I tried to replicate on a 9.8.1 and on a 9.9 but that all works as expected. Settings - site settings - site behavior - more.
What you might also try is to add the module (HTML editor management) on a page (for instance /admin) and see if that works.
Thank you! This helped me as well. Six of my portals had "newsarticleslinks,dnnpages" in DNNCKP#PORTALID#ExtraPlugins. Just upgraded from 9.6.0 to 9.9.0 and couldn't get the editor working. Same error "Resource name "newsarticleslinks" was not found at https://...."
Guess these were relics from long time ago.
