Hello!

So I've researched this today, and I can't find much. Has anyone else seen this problem?

I upgraded the DNN site from 6.1.4 to 6.2.2 and the menus are no longer styled and appear as unordered lists. I am upgrading this locally, so I'm sorry I can't show you the site... but I have some screen shots here:

Main Page Area:

Top of page menu area:
http://www.wynnspot.com/1.png

Does anyone have any ideas of what would be causing this? I noticed that the navigation menu is not working either. Was there a provider change or something? The skin we are using is very simple and uses the SOLPARTMENU.

Thanks to anyone that can help in advance!

Without actually seeing the site, it's hard to know for sure. But ... it looks like some CSS files were broken in the upgrade process. Check to see that you have Default.css, skin.css, and portal.css. These will be in different places. Are your menu styles in skin.css? If not, look for that file.

Do you have a backup of the site prior to the upgrade? If so, can you compare those files with the pre-upgrade versions?

If you are using SOLPARTMENU, there should not be a provider change. You might want to go to the Extensions page and verify that the SOLPART provider is installed. If it was not installed, you should have seen an error during the upgrade.

BTW, the SOLPART Menu has been obsolete since early 5.x versions of DotNetNuke. If you look at the DotNetNuke Wiki, you'll see that it is quite simple to replace a SOLPART menu with a DDR menu with a few simple edits of the skin files. But, you'll still need the CSS.
