upgraded to dnn 9.9.1 and got multiple edit icons Started By sypa I've just upgraded to dnn 9.9.1 from 9.6 and now I've got 4 edit icons at the bottom of the page for every icon. So that's 4 icons for add module, existing module, settings and close button (16 button icons in total) so far, everything seems to work ok in this version, so not too worried, but has anyone seen this before	2	1430	1	10/27/2021 5:53 AM by sypa

Upgrading DNN v7.1.1 that uses AD authentication Started By ChrisMc I inherited an old DNN (v7.1.1) website that's setup to use only AD authentication. As it's a live site, I've tried to copy it (database & website), rename the copy and then log in using my normal Windows account username/password and it keeps failing to log me in. I am not able to reconfigure the website so it would allow me to access the site using the normal forms authentication. If I create a new v7.1.1 website login and then add the AD authentication, using the setting found in the or...	4	1975	1	9/23/2021 7:30 AM by ChrisMc

Upgrade DNN 9.9.1 to 9.10.x Started By Michael Tobisch I recently had a problem when upgrading the platform on two sites from version 9.9.1 to 9.10.0 or 9.10.1. When starting the upgrade installer, I immediately got a yellow screen of death saying 'Server Error in '/' Application'. For all the other sites the upgrade worked fine. To solve the problem, I started the installer in a browser on the server to get a more detailled error message, and it said the assembly system.web.http version 5.2.7 or one of its dependencies could not be loaded.

Upgrading from 9.6.1 to 9.8.1, 9.9.1, or 9.10.0 causes /API/personaBar/localization/gettable?culture=en-US to fail Started By Ken C Edited 9/3/2021 - Resolved the issue by upgrading this site from DNN 9.6.1 to 9.10.1 no apparent issues. Hello Awesome Community: I am working to upgrade several sites all of which started as DNN 7.x and upgraded through to DNN 8.0.3 about five years ago and left alone from thereafter.

OWASP and DNN9.9.1 Started By Deleted User Hi all, we upgraded our DNN 9.9.1 recently and as part of the process we are required to do some security scans. Using the tool OWASP Dependency Check Scan, there were many vulnerability findings. Those findings were meant for the older versions e.g. jQuery 3.2.1, 1.3.2, etc, which we no longer use them. Is it possible to unlink the older version Please advise.		1930	1	8/6/2021 2:13 AM by Deleted User
.NET framwork version compatibility question Started By Tom Melkonian Hi - I'm upgrading from DNN 9.1.1 to 9.9.1 (through 9.2.2, 9.3.2 and 9.6.1), I'm aware that I need to upgrade .NET framework to 4.7.2 for DNN 9.6.1 to work. My question is, can I upgrade .NET to 4.7.2 before getting to DNN 9.6.1 Will DNN 9.1.1 work under .NET 4.7.2. (I ask because I want to plan the upgrade in order to minimize downtime for the site, and it would be nice to upgrade .NET framework before going through all the steps from DNN 9.1.1 to 9.2.2 to 9.3.2 to 9.6.1 and finally to 9.9....	9	3918	2	7/14/2021 6:52 PM by Tom Melkonian
