I upgraded kentico 10 to 11 then 11 to 12. But at the end I found the given error in News and Blog.

[TempITemplate.Template]: http://server/CMSVirtualFiles/Transformations/=vg=f265b57e-7358-44f6-8d96-f876890461a6/CMS.BlogPost/HomeNewsEvents.ascx(4): error CS0103: The name 'GetFileUrl' does not exist in the current context[TempITemplate.Template]: http://server/CMSVirtualFiles/Transformations/=vg=f265b57e-7358-44f6-8d96-f876890461a6/CMS.BlogPost/HomeNewsEvents.ascx(4): error CS0103: The name 'GetFileUrl' does not exist in the current context[TempITemplate.Template]: http://server/CMSVirtualFiles/Transformations/=vg=f265b57e-7358-44f6-8d96-f876890461a6/CMS.BlogPost/HomeNewsEvents.ascx(4): error CS0103: The name 'GetFileUrl' does not exist in the current context

One more thing Blog is also empty in cms but I found data in CONTENT_BlogPost table. CodeUpgrade.exe did not capture this issue. Although site is working well. But this webparts rendering error. There is no error in error list regarding this issue.

Hi,
You may need to adjust the transformation methods used in your transformations and adjust them according to the API changes.

Why was this changed? Also, how would I pull in the actual file name?

It was changed for better variant support. The method's file name parameter does not have to correspond with the real file name. The file name could be fake or you can use the the field name to evaluate - but depending on the form control used, the GUID may be returned. So, you can create a custom transormation method which will take the GUID and check the attachment name using the API.
