hello everyone,

Well i was upgrading my site from dnn 4.8 to dnn 6.1, i stumbled upon an issue that's maybe peculiar in my upgrade. i had on my old version 4.8 created a tab or a page by the tabname of 'Admin' due to some requirements. After i've upgraded to 6.1 (or even earlier version) i noticed that a strange behavior occured on my site >>>>> it was simply not linking me to the portal administrator page but instead to an empty page, SURPRISE ........yes it was for me at least. I found out that dnn relied in its new version more on the tabname instead of the tabid!!!!!! why???? I actually do not know.

The page i had named as admin and was included in my menu was disabled - now it's enabled and shows basic features as if it was the admin page but it shows my sub pages instead of the portal admin pages.

i then tried changing the title,name etc in the tabs table but the change made to the title didn't reflect on my site's menu. i even updated the vw_tabs with no result.

Is there anywhere else i should be looking into?

P.S: Those of you who may have the same issue remember to rename your pages before upgrading to v5 or 6.
