Multiple errors after selecting vertical menu in DotNetNuke 4.4.1
There have been numerous reports on DotNetNuke.com about errors encountered after switching to a skin with a vertical menu in DotNetNuke 4.4.1 if using a clean installation. These errors are typically "Null reference exception" errors, however some individuals have received general "an error has occured" messages with a portion of the site still visible.
If you have recently switched to a vertical menu and are receiving these error messages it is quite possible that you are missing a few required .dll files for the vertical menu system. It appears they were left out of the DNN installation files for 4.4.1. To fix this issue you will want to download a copy of DotNetNuke 4.3.7. Once you have downloaded 4.3.7 you will want to copy the following files from 4.3.7's bin folder and place them in your 4.4.1 bin folder.
- DotNetNuke.DNNTreeNavigationProvider.dll
- DotNetNuke.ASP2MenuNavigationProvider.dll
- DotNetNuke.Caching.BroadcastPollingCachingProvider.dll
- DotNetNuke.Caching.BroadcastPollingCachingProvider.SQLDataProvider.dll
- DotNetNuke.DNNDropDownNavigationProvider.dll
- DotNetNuke.DNNMenuNavigationProvider.dll
After you have copied each of these DLL files over you should notice that your errors will go away.
Good luck! As always, feel free to provide comments below or ask questions in the forums!
