Upgrade 5.4.2.2 to 5.5.0
Permalink 1 user found helpfulI had an old site that had not been touched for a while, so last week I decided to bring it up to date.
It was running 5.4.05, so I decided to upgrade one at at time, which works fine until I want to upgrade from version 5.4.2.2 to version 5.5.0.
When I do the upgrade, it results in the top nav CMS buttons completely disappearing.
Would this relate to my old theme not working for version 5.5?
Cheers

Thanks for the tip
I upgraded all the way to 5.6.0.1, but I still have the same issue
Checked the logs and this is what I came across:
[error] File does not exist: /home/website/themes/bluebell/images/nav_sidebar_left_bg.gif, referer

Any ideas?

The best thing you can do is change your theme under the dashboard and see if your site works then, if it does then there is your answer: the problem is bound to your theme, if it still doesn't work: something else is wrong.
I changed my site to use one of the standard themes and then upgraded to version 5.5, but still the same issue.
I am going to look at all the configurations and plugins to see if any of those are causing the issue.

Check your theme files and make sure you have the following right before the closing body tag:
<?php Loader::element('footer_required'); ?> </body>
Which is it?
I upgraded manually all the way up to version 5.6.0.1, but the issue was still there.
I changed the template to a standard C5 one, but still no joy.
So then what I did was roll back to version 5.4.2.2 and then changed from my custom template to a standard one and then tried the upgrade process again. However the same problem happened again.
I am looking at the template code, server configuration and dependencies to see what causes it to break when upgrading to version 5.5.0

I found the route of the problem being that the ecommerce module was not upgraded to the latest version, before upgrading to the newer versions.
One to look out for in the future, where I will ensure that all add-ons are up to date, before upgrading to a newer version of C5.
