Need help upgrading 7.1.1 to 9.4.4 Started By Mark V Hi, we're a small software company that uses DNN to power our 'software as a service' website. But we're not DNN experts, we're only barely competent at administering the website. Those who built the website are long gone, so no one remaining knows how anything was done, or why it was done that way. We're badly overdue for an upgrade, but we've had problems trying to upgrade in the past. What we really need is a short-term contract with a DNN expert who can show us how to upgrade, who can he...	9	4171	3	1/22/2020 1:49 PM by Mark V
Cannot login as Host during upgrading from 7.0.3 to 7.4.2 Started By okuusan703 Hello. I need to upgrade the website that runs DNN 7.0.3 to the latest. Based on this article, I understand that I need to upgrade the website to 7.4.2 first. The website itself is temporarily terminated because it was compromised (all malicious files had already been removed from the server). I found another URL was provided by the hosting company and I'm working on it now. I uploaded all files in the upgrade zip file via FTP and accessed to the site URL. As you know, the Upgrade Wizard page...	3	2484	0	2/3/2020 8:30 AM by okuusan703
Upgrade from 7.0.2 Started By Stuart Hi, we want to upgrade several of our sites, some are already at 9.1 but one in particular is still running on 7.0.2. I read a post for an upgrade path as: 8.0.4 9.1.1 9.3.2 9.4 So this was the path we took, step 1 was ok. step2 seemed ok but as soon as we logged and clicked on the edit button, the site went into a locked edit mode and we lost all the persona bar tools. Luckily I performed the upgrade on a test server so we were able to roll back.. Does anyone have any ...	3	2463	1	1/20/2020 5:25 AM by Stuart
9.4 Post Upgrade Issue - Users Panel - stored proc missing - dbo.PersonaBar_GetUsersBySearchTerm missing Started By Dave Madison I've recently upgraded from v9.3.2 to version 9.4 and have had experienced a few issues since the upgrade. This one here is as follows: When logged in as a superuser and going to the PersonaBar Users panal, the following error is presented: Could not find stored procedure: 'dbo.PersonaBar_GetUsersBySearchTerm' This stored procedure isn't in the database. I checked the source code and the stored procedure doesn't exist in 9.4. It did in 9.2. Sooo, it seems as though the upgrade is u...	3	3583	0	9/21/2019 11:19 PM by Dave Madison
