Kentico 12 to Kentico 13 Upgrade

Geo Neeliyara asked on November 7, 2024 17:59

After several attempts, I successfully completed the upgrade for the admin site. However, for the MVC site (where I removed the Kentico 12 NuGet packages and installed the Kentico 13 NuGet packages), I am encountering errors related to Dynamic Routing and Partial Pages. Despite following the upgrade guidelines provided by Kentico (Xperience 13 Upgrade Documentation), I am still facing issues.

I attempted to use the CodeUpgrade.exe tool to upgrade the MVC site, but it did not return any results. Has anyone encountered a similar situation? Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated.

I would recommend looking at the upgrade notes on the Dynamic Routing readme, have you read through and followed those steps?

Hi Liam, Thank you for your response. I am planning to do clean K13 core development for the frontend site and will utilize the migration tool to upgrade the Admin site. I hope this approach proves effective. I would appreciate any suggestions you may have regarding this plan.

Regards, Geo
