Upgrading to Version 8.1

Will Strohl edited this page Jan 8, 2025 · 1 revision

The following details are very important when upgrading to Community Forums 8.1 from an earlier release.

New Bootstrap 4 & 5 Forum Theme

Please be sure to test this and report any issues you may find. It's a brand-new feature!

If you are using a Bootstrap 3 theme - including DNN Xcilliin - use the community-default theme rather than the community-bootstrap theme

New Languages Added!

Dutch already had a language pack, but now there are language packs for German, French, Spanish, and Italian. They were generated though, so we could use your help from the community to make sure the translations are indeed accurate.

We recommend that you use Peter Donker's translation software (below) to make things easier for you.

Upgrading? Reindex Your Search

There have been significant updates in the way the forums module integrates with the DNN search engine. This includes a handful of bug fixes. It's important to reindex your DNN search as soon as possible after the upgrade.
