Majority of applications missing after site import (Including pages)

First a couple of questions.

Did the exported site and imported site come from the same Kentico version? (most likely yes, but just checking).

Are you logged in as a global administrator privilege, in case it's a privilege issue?

Lastly, can you describe the steps you took during export and import, in terms of what you checked or didn't check?

Hi Tom

One common issue for export and import between 2 environments which may not started as the same copy of the site is the CMSHashStringSalt in the web.config. If it's not the same, a lot of things related to macro will not appear correctly. You can make sure the same value is in all the web.config among the different environments. Also, you can try to resign all macros after the import.

<add key="CMSHashStringSalt" value="1a6b510b-98f5-41ff-879f-5cbcaf774070"/>

One more thing to check is, are the site Code name the same? The apps might be missing for the site because they are not assign to the site. Go to Sites App > edit the site > Assign objects > Modules, and assign all modules to that site. Then do a hard refresh.

Hi Trevior,

Both instances are running the same version of Kentico (8.1), I am logged in as a Global Administrator and for the import and export I basically left all the default settings (First time)

Thanks, Jack

Make sure, all the modules are assigned to the site (Sites -> your site -> Assigned objects -> Modules).
