Hello DNN Community,

I’m currently working through an #upgrade from DNN 09.13.09 to 10.01.02 and have encountered an issue with the #PersonaBar .

Specifically, the Page/GetPageList endpoint is returning an HTTP 500 error when accessed through the Persona Bar. At the moment, I have not been able to locate any relevant or helpful entries in the _default/logs directory that would indicate the root cause.

The affected endpoint is:

/API/PersonaBar/Pages/GetPageList?searchKey=

All other Persona Bar menu items appear to function normally; this issue seems isolated to the page list retrieval.

If anyone has suggestions on where to focus further troubleshooting or additional logging locations that might help identify the cause, I would appreciate the guidance.

Thank you.
