Hi Team,

I have been experiencing a weird issue for the last three days. I have a sitefinity website that I originally developed on top of Sitefinity Beta, then upgraded it to Beta2 and now to the official build.

On my development machine everything is working properly. When i deploy the application, i notice that the background of the menu does not show and also i can't see the Search Indexes under Administration ... I have compared the menu to the one i have on my development machine and it's obvious that this is the menu from the RC release or beta2.

When i open the website i can see in the meta data that the this is the standard edition ..

What could be the problem ?

Hello George ,

Let's try the following. It seems that the configuration is not updated. To enable the search module - go to ~/App_Data/Sitefinity/Configuration/SystemConfig.config file and modify the search module entry as bellow:

<servicesModules>

<add name="Search" />

</servicesModules>

Then restart the application this should reinstall the search module. Check if Administrations>Search and Indexes option is visible.

To fix the transperant menu:
1. Download the attached file
3. Backup your Project
2. Extract the file in \ProjectName\Sitefinity folder
3. Login to Sitefinity as admin
4. Browse the WebForm1.aspx page (localhost/.../WebForm1.aspx
5.Then restart the application this should fix the menu

Hi Sonya,

Thank you for getting back to me. The code fixed the transparency issue in the menu ... thanks :)

However, i checked the SystemConfig file and i noticed that the Search service module exists and also the NewsLetter module exists but they are not appearing in the menu although they do on my dev machine.

I tried removing the entries, restarting the application then adding them again and restarting ... didn't work ...

Hi George ,

Please replace the Search service module in your config file with the code I sent you or delete the module version. This will register the Search module and should fix the problem.

Kind regards,
