    After upgrading to Rev. 2.4.3 the site worked fine except the blog. Most Articles bits have disappeared. i.e. bits under: Chunks, Templates, TV and Snippets have been deleted). The three plugins are present.

    View this disaster at http://kusambira.org/lundazi-news/.

    I have tried upgrading at a dummy site (local host) and the same problem occurred. Either I am doing something stupidly wrong (quite possible) or there is an upgrade issue.
    If any one can advise how I can retrieve Articles with out losing the content and comments I would be very grateful.

    Running with: was rev. 2.4.2pl now 2.4.3, mysql. 5.5.45 and Ace. Thanks Mike

      That's very odd. An upgrade does not have any effect on elements in the database, such as chunks and TVs.

        From your link, all your content is still in tact and so are all the comments attached.

        Just fix the stylesheet CSS files that are missing.

        Maybe make the CSS call absolute url in your template

          Sottwell,

          Yes, I thought that hence my surprise. And it happened a second time on test site.

          Donshakespeare,

          I wish I could but the problem has removed the html, the chunks and other bits have gone as well. I even thought about copying working bits from a good site but wondered if there is another method.

          I assume no one else has reported this fault it must be something to do with my upgrade method - just following Modx guidelines, honest.

          In a dummy site, with the same problem, I reinstalled Articles but didn't know how to link to existing contents.

          Any opinions appreciated. Mike

            Did you use the UpgradeMODX widget to upgrade the site?

            If not, I'd advise you to try this:

            - Install UpgradeMODX in Package Manager
            - Clear the site cache
            - Set your settings_version System Setting back to 2.4.2
            - Change the 'interval' property of the widget snippet to 1 minute
            - (don't forget to change it back later)
            - Upgrade to 2.4.3 with the UpgradeMODX widget on the dashboard

            You may have to clear the cache again before the newer version shows up in the widget.
