Admin screens show error after fresh Kentico 10 upgrade


This one is a head scratcher. I'm testing upgrading from 8.2 to 11. On the 9.0 to 10.0 leg of the journey, I see this on every admin screen in version 10:

 [Error loading the layout]
 Could not load type 'CMS.PortalControls.CMSAbstractLayout'. 

this is what I see

I'm stumped.


Solution

  • CMS.PortalControls.CMSAbstractLayout moved to CMS.PortalEngine.Web.UI.CMSAbstractLayout in Kentico 10. The API changes were quite wide reaching. Did you make sure that you team the code upgrade tool?. The release notes etc can be found on devnet. https://docs.kentico.com/k10/installation/upgrading-to-kentico-10
