Upgrade DNN Verion 7 - dotnetnuke-6

I have a site running in DNN 6.0 . I upgrade the DNN verion 7. After Upgrade the Design the site is totally messup can any one give me the idea how to Update the DNN to verion 7.
Thanks

It's not necessary that the upgrade went wrong.
Maybe some of the modules you are using are incompatible with DNN7 or you have changed some of the core pages or styles.
It's hard to give a more precise answer since 'totally messed up' doesn't really say what's the problem

Posting the stack trace or error message would help a lot if you want a useful answer.
Often 'totally messed up' is due to a dll version issue.
On a side note, I hope that you have backed up both the database and website files before you upgraded the site. If you have added 3rd party modules, check their compatibility with DNN 7.

I had this problem too, you need to basically update the skins to use Gravity (or some other half-decent skin besides DarkKnight) - right now, it is probably using the old DarkKnight skin (I would guess) and I've seen a lot of issues trying to use DarkKnight in DNN 7.x.x.
Try this:
1.) Admin\Site Settings\Basic Settings\Appearance
2.) Set Site Theme\Container and Edit Theme\Container to Gravity (anything but DarkKnight)
3.) Host\Host Settings\Basic Settings\Appearnace
4.) Set Host Theme\Container and Edit Theme Container to Gravity (anything but DarkKnight)

DNN 7.4: Error instalando en contenido para 2sxc 10

I tell you to install DNN 7.4 then when I want to install the module contained for 2sxc 10 I get an error. (Attached image)
Thank you.
enter image description here
I'm not sure if 2sxc 10 is compatible with DNN 7, but in any case I recommend you to disregard so old versions of DNN, as they're no longer supported neither updated . This is a serious issue when it comes to security and performance, not to mention that you'll lose any modern technologies that you can use with most recent versions of DNN. Therefore, I encourage you to install DNN version 9.6.0, which is the most recent one, and take advantage of all its functionalities.
2sxc works all the way down to DNN 7.4.2.
But #Perezandres is correct - DNN 7 is not really secure, or you need to do a lot of hardening to keep it safe. Better to start with 9.6.1
In regards to your error, I assume you were using DNN 7.4.2, otherwise you wouldn't be able to install 2sxc. But the error you see I cannot explain just like that. Best repeat the procedure with F12 running, and show what you get back. Also check the DNN Admin logs and see what you get there.

Visual-composer back end-editor not working with latest version of wordpress(Version 5.0)

let me know if anyone else, also having the same issue. it is working fine with older version but I just installed the latest version and now it's not working.
I have faced the same problem today in morning when I have updated WordPress to latest version 5.
But I have fixed the Problem by updating the Visual-composer back end-editor to latest version.
Check this link. You can see Release Notes there that says VER 5.6 - Update: Compatibility with WordPress 5.0.
So just update your plugin & sure that will fix your problem.
Try it & let me know if you have any issues.
Use the plugin call classic editor. It uses the old editor. Do not use classic editor addon. Just the standard classic editor plugin.
You can use Wordpress Version 4.9.9
It is working for me.

I can’t find Backend Editor, where is it?
The WordPress admin panel is a very unpredictable environment for such a complex product like Visual Composer. Because of that, we decided to remove Backend Editor in 2.0 version and focus our development on Frontend Editor. As a result, you as a user are getting a more stable and faster editor. Release cycles will become shorter and new features will be delivered to you faster.
To justify the “loss” we will introduce new “structured view” mode in Frontend Editor (similar how it was in the Backend Editor) and there is always Tree View mode available (a layer style representer and editor of your layout).

TinyMCE Toolbar Missing After Plone 4.3 Upgrade

I upgrade a Plone site from 4.2 to 4.3. The upgrade steps are basically:
running install.sh to have a 4.3 environment
copy Data.fs to var/filestorage and custom dexterity package to src
running upgrade in ZMI
Everything seems fine. But when I add/edit Page items, TinyMCE toolbar is missing for the body field. Only showing a Text Format dropdown. Note: I do see the toolbar trying to render (first 2 icons appear), but fail and disappear.
What am I missing? Any hints?
No definitive answers, but a few suggestions. I have 9 plone sites all running the same version of Plone (4.2) and have some where TinyMCE works flawlessly, and others where I can't make it work at all.
Check /portal_javascripts and make sure that you have ++resource++plone.app.jquery.js (I think you also need jquery-integration.js and ++resource++plone.app.jquerytools.js, but I may be wrong about those), as well as tiny_mce.js and tiny_mce_init.js).
check /portal_kss and ensure you have ++resource++tinymce.kss/tinymce.kss
check /portal_css for ++resource++tinymce.stylesheets/tinymce.css
I saw your edit about the toolbar beginning to display after I posted this response. You really need to use the development tools for your browser-of-choice (e.g. Firebug) and look at the console. If it starts to display and then fails to finish, there's sure to be an error in the console log.
Check to see whether you have outstanding upgrades to the Products.TinyMCE:TinyMCE profile in Upgrades in portal_setup via the ZMI. If there are any, run them and restart your Plone instance.
I had the same issue with the same version upgrades and there were outstanding upgrades. They must have been missed somehow, presumably a bug in the Plone upgrade process from 4.2.5 to 4.3.4.
FWIW, I just ran into this issue in an upgrade from 4.1 to 4.3.14.
In my case, the problem was that the site uses the Plone Classic skin instead of Sunburst. The Classic skin for some reason did not have the tinymce layer registered. The giveaway was that jquery.tinymce.js was registered in portal_javascripts, but marked in orange as (resource not found or not accessible). I grepped the buildout eggs and realized that jquery.tinymce.js lives in a skin layer of Products.TinyMCE-1.3.26. From there it was easy to figure out why it was not found.

Website running .NET 3.5 cannot use feature not part of ISO-2 specs

I am getting this error a lot:
Feature '{insert feature here}' cannot be used because it is not part of the
ISO-2 C# language specification
I am working on a .NET 3.5 website that I've worked on on and off for about two years. I've never seen this error before my most recent around of updates. I'm using a decent amount of LINQ coding throughout and I get these errors related to much of the LINQ code. Based on what I've read it seems like even though I'm using .NET 3.5, for some reason it thinks I'm using 2.0. But I can't find anything that says how to fix it.
One example of a problem is that if I try to add a new item to the App_Code directory, I do not get the option to add a LINQ to SQL dbml file.
If anyone can shed some light on how exactly I would fix this, I would much appreciate it.
I was unable to locate an "Advanced" option under the build tab. I have a feeling it is probably because it is a web app. I looked through the web.config and found 2 parts that may be important. Most things referenced 3.5.0.0 or v3.5. The settings are consistent with older backups of the web.config from when there were no errors. By the way, only intellisense and things within VS2010 are giving me problems. The website is running error free.
I have completed a total uninstall and re-install of VS2010 and I'm still having the same issue. I fired up my old install of VS2008 and I am NOT having this issue there. However, I would MUCH prefer to use VS2010 on this project.
I opened the website in VS2010 on my work computer, and there are no errors reported. This is making me think that there is something on my laptop that is causing the problem. As I noted above, I completely reinstalled Visual Studio 2010 and I am still having the problem. What does this leave? I have only one extension installed in VS, and it's the same one at work and on my laptop. Also, I did not reinstall the extension after reinstalling VS, and the problem persists.
Both PC's run Win7 Ultimate. Have VS2008 and VS2010 installed. VS2010 has the same extension installed on both. On my laptop I have the full version of SQL Server 2008 installed, but only the Management Studio on my desktop (we have a server in the office). Would SS2008 have anything to do with it?
Go to your project properties, the Build tab, Advanced - that should allow you to set which version of C# you want to use. It should default to the latest version supported by the version of Visual Studio you're using, but it sounds like at some point you've switched it to ISO-2.
(That's certainly true for Windows projects and class libraries - there may be a different location in a web app. In particular, have a look in Web.config.)
If this has only started happening recently, I'd have a look through your source control history at changes to any configuration files. Also try creating a new project of the same type, and see if that has the same problem.
Jon Skeet's answer is mostly correct. The location for the update is in the "Property Pages" which I got to by right-clicking on the name of the website, clicking Property Pages, the Build item, then target framework.
The extension I use, Solution Navigator, has it's own heading for the solution. Right-clicking on it DOES NOT give me the Property Pages option. By chance I right clicked on the title of the website under the solution heading and was presented with the Property Pages option. In there was the Build tab which contained the target framework option.
Once I finally found the target framework option, it was indeed set to .NET 2.0 for some reason. I changed it to 3.5, reloaded the solution, and now it works great.
Thanks a million Jon for your help and time working with me!!

upgrading drupal 4.7 to 5.2

When I was upgrding my webite from drupal 4.7 to 5.2, I am facing an issue -
Fatal error: Call to undefined function node_get_base() in ../question.module.
Can any one help me to solve it...
Thanks in advance
The root of your problem is that you have some code in the file question.module calling a deprecated function (node_get_base()). Drupal 5.2 does not implement anymore that function so you get the error...
I assume that the question.module you are using is this one, which does exist for Drupal 5 series. If I am right, then I suspect you have missed to follow the upgrade instructions for updating your site which state:
5) Disable all custom and contributed modules.
[..]
11) Ensure that the versions of all custom and contributed modules match the new Drupal version to which you have updated. For a major update, such as from 5.x to 6.x, modules from previous versions will not be compatible and updated versions will be required.
12) Re-enable custom and contributed modules and re-run update.php to update custom and contributed database tables.
These instructions are in the UPGRADE.txt file in the Drupal root folder.
Hope this helps!
When upgrading Drupal to a new release, you more or less in some respects have to build the site over again. The thing is, that because the Drupal API changes to much in the new releases, each module will need to be replaced with a new one. In most cases this is just a matter of downloading a new version of the module and running update.php.
You should, however, go through each of your modules and find out what's needed to make the upgrade. Sometimes the upgrade path can be a bit tricky and you need a few attempts to get it right without corrupting any data in the process.
Another thing is, that when upgrading, going for the drupal 5 version of the same module might not always be the best choice. Especially when talking about Drupal 5, there are a lot of more or less unmaintained modules. So the best choice might be to find a different module that can do what you want, or even fulfill more of your needs.
It's always a hard decision and your theme will also need to be upgraded to Drupal 5. In short there is a lot of work evolved when doing a major upgrade. Most of it, is making some good choices about, which modules to use and how to migrate your data.
All that aside, following the upgrade guide in UPGRADE.txt like mac suggests is a very good place to start, and doing all of this leg work, would probably have avoided all this.
