Upgrading from v9.4.4 to 9.10.2 broke Pages on the persona bar and the page settings for every page Started By Ana_Dana I have a website which is currently running DNN 9.4.2. I am planning to upgrade it to the latest (9.10.2). I am currently testing this on my local machine and the upgrade broke the 'Pages', which is on the persona bar and the page settings on every page on the portal. When I open up the Pages, it opens a IFrame. The Pages section loads on the IFrame for a fraction of second and then it goes blank. I checked the errors in browser's console and I see 4 errors.

Unable to Complete Recommended Telerik Removal Process after 9.10.2 Upgrade Started By John Kanost We upgraded our DNN site to 9.10.2. The upgrade completed without a problem in both test and then production environments, and the Telerik removal process outlined here also went smoothly on test. But, when I attempted to repeat the same process in production, Step 10 broke our site, generating a server error complaining that the Telerik control were missing and rendering further action through the CMS impossible.
