I had a perfectly working 4.6.2 based site until I applied the latest 4.7.0 upgrade. Now I can't access any menu items from the Admin and Host drop downs although I could before the upgrade. Now all I get is from every menu item. The rest of website appears to be functioning correctly.

I had this error earlier today.  I got rid of this error by re-uploading the upgrade.  I found that I was missing files and folders when I uploaded the upgrade.

Hi Irvin, Thanks for the hint but I've done this about 6 times now and the same result each time.

DNN a couple of versions back had a problem where it wouldn't show the menus after upgrading. The fix was to restart the site. Chances are you've already tried that though?

Hi ROBAX

Isn't this done from within the Admin or Host menus which are the bits that aren't working. Is there another way?

It looks to me as though 4.7.0 has a number of problems based on the number of posts on this forum relating to it.

Paul
