Issue for Control Panel on v8.0.4 Started By Eoghanon I am in the step-by-step process of upgrading an old website that was running DNN v7. I want to get it to v9. I underline that this DNN install has always been installed in a folder in the root of the domain name, i.e DNN is installed in www.domain.com/dnn-is-in-this-folder.

Upgraded Site Migration Started By Mark Mac We have a custom application built on DNN 7.3.4 that we have upgraded to 9.6.1 on our dev environment, the update includes updates to modules such as DNN Sharp(Forms, Grids, MyTokens, etc), a new custom theme and a number of CSS changes. We have a large number of custom tables with a large data set. I'm looking for advice on the best way to move this to prod, we obviously have prod data that we can't overwrite.

Inporting users from a DNN 7 into a DNN 9 with passwords Started By Alexandru Ionescu Hello friends, I have to import the users from a DNN 7 organization into a new DNN 9.8.0 organization with passwords, too. I have performed the task using SQL batches, inserting data into [dbo].[Users], [dbo].[UserRoles],[dbo].[UserPortals],[dbo].[UserProfile],[dbo].[aspnet_Users],[dbo].[aspnet_Membership]. All good except that the users cannot login into the site using their passwords. The passwords are hashed so , i am afraid that is not enough to do the copy/paste ( select/insert...	9	3749	2	1/17/2021 3:19 PM by Alexandru Ionescu
PersonaBar errors Started By Mike ONeil We are struggling to get a fully working DNN 9.1.1. Out of the blue, a few days ago, Superusers were met with a 500 error first thing in the morning. Other users are fine. We cannot find any trace of server updates or file updates on the server that may have caused this. The error comes from the PersonaBar and is: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserProfile.GetPropertyValue(String propName) at DotNetNuk...	11	5478	2	1/10/2021 5:35 PM by Mike ONeil
Home Page Redirection Issues Started By Mohan Hi, One of our clients reported an issue where opening the URL caused the site to crash with a Too Many Redirects error. This only happens when the URL is the Home Page. Any other page (like the login page or on of our custom module page) loads fine. We have temporarily redirected the site to load the login page instead of the Home Page but I would still like to solve this issue. I checked the PortalSettings, HostSettings, PortalAlias table. All looked fine. The AutoAddAlias is set to N an...	2	1984	0	1/11/2021 2:52 PM by Mohan
Upgrading from 9.4.4 to 9.5.0 - Errors in FileManager Started By abartholomew I just previously upgraded my DNN site from 7.3.3 up to 9.4.4 following the suggested upgrade path. I had originall tried to upgrade to version 9.7.2, but I am running a site that is utilizing VB.net and 9.7.2 had a known breaking change addressed in issue https://github.com/dnnsof...latform/issues/4138. So I had tried to upgrade to the latest full release of 9.7.0 that did not include that breaking change.

Upgrade 9.0.2 to 9.1.0 Dies RESX:PersonaBarMenu.Text Not Found During Persona Started By Paul Johnson I am trying to upgrade a 9.0.2 DNN Platform to 9.1.0 and it dies with a missing resx. I have tried everything. I have downloaded the source looking for 'RESX:PersonaBarMenu.Text' and it is not in the source. I have done full file scans (including into DLLs) of a clean 9.0.2 and my 9.0.2 with no success. I have added this text to every reasonable resx file. I have overlaid the files in my 9.0.2 for all of persona directories, and made every single database entry the same as the clean 9.0.2. I...	5	3354	1	9/13/2019 4:26 PM by Paul Johnson
