Some UI modules missing in Dashboard

Permalink
I am having a hard time figuring out why some UI elements as well as some pages are missing from my dashboard? I am currently working to revamp a website for a client. Upon getting accustomed to C5 I upgraded the core from an unknown lower version up to 5.4.2.1 With that update I could no longer reach some of the dashboards links. The most important of these being, Ecommerce.

I've attached some photo of what I'm taking about. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,
Did you update straight from that unknown lower version to 5.4.2.1 or did you do gradual updates and it all worked fine until you reached 5.4.2.1?

Straight there. In retrospect I should have updated gradually but thats before I knew the C5 platform. Any suggestions?

When updating, what happens is:
- update to the database
- new core files put in the update folder
- one line added to site.php in the config folder to specify the update's folder
<?php define('DIRNAME_APP_UPDATED', 'folder_name');?>


As far as files are concerned, just comment out that line in site.php to revert back to the old version.

The database on the other hand you can't revert just like that unless you have a backup that dates from just before updating. Most host offer this kind of backup service, you should check with yours.

We don't know what was your previous version but the following 2 articles might be useful

OK so I followed the instructions on the links you sent for get access back to those pages, but it didn't work. I am afraid that if I do a clean install of concrete5 that all my ecommerce files and and other files will not be able to be reintegrated without messing up the whole site all together. I tried moving the whole site to mamp to edit and problem solve but now I cant login to the dashboard for some reason?
