Using DNN 5.6 (I think), Logged in as an Admin, go to current page tab and select icon: Copy which brings up the Basic Settings Page, enter new title and upon pressing Update icon get following error message:

Error Error: is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Tab Exists ---> DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs.TabExistsException: Tab Exists at DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs.TabController.AddTabInternal(TabInfo objTab, Boolean includeAllTabsModules) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs.TabController.AddTabAfter(TabInfo objTab, Int32 afterTabId) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Tabs.ManageTabs.SaveTabData(String strAction) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Tabs.ManageTabs.cmdUpdate_Click(Object Sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

Our Site Admin took ill and passed away -we have no documentation nor any idea how to maintain our site...  My first attempt was to go to the File Manager which I thought would allow me to directly copy a page but the File Manager doesn't even show the page -I guess pages are not really files?  So I gathered that there is a COPY function in the admin toolbar but that does not work.  This system seems very convoluted and extremely obscure when all I want to do is copy an existing page so I can then edit it as the next year's page...

Next step, is there any easy conversion tool to take a complete DNN site and convert to a more common CMS such as WordPress?  We generally have a lot of website expertise, just no one that understands the DNN CMS...  I tried downloading the user manual but when I use the steps there, it just ERRORs.

the error message indicates that the page name is already in use (there shouldn't be an error, but there might be an issue in this old version).

If you encounter issues downloading the manual, please try a different browser. If the error persists, please provide exact steps for the site admin to reproduce.

Hmmm possibly somewhere in the 200 attempts to copy the original file somehow a file was created... We've been working on this everyday for two weeks now. So how do I get to this "alleged existing" file?  When I go to File Manager, none of these files (actually none of the files that are in the menu system) are viewable -including the original file I am attempting to copy. There must be some "secret" way that these invisible files are viewable/editable, especially if they are not in the menu system so they cannot be "navigated to"...  It must be some "extra layer" that the CMS applies or maybe the file does not really exist except as entries in the CMS database?

Anyway, back to my problem, how do I get to this supposedly pre-existing file so I can edit it.  OR, is there a way to COPY and set it to overwrite or replace the "invisible pre-existing" file?

there are no "files" created, only database entries.
Please check the recycle bin as well.

PS: if you get hold of a migration script to another CMS, please let me know.
There is another community member, who might need it to escape hackers.
