    Hi, Andrew.

    Have you converted your fields to use a textarea instead of a wysiwyg field before upgrading?

    Hi, Oysterfinancial.

    I suspect it may have to do with the NGen File field. It’s 1.x only.

    You’ll need to convert that field to something else before attempting the upgrade.

    Hey Andrew,

    Sorry this has been so much trouble. Most of your problems look like they’re third party stuff, which unfortunately we have little control over.

    So let’s start with trying to resolve those. Go through all of your third party addons and make sure you have the newest versions. Make a list of those that do not have an EE 2 equivalent, these will be the trouble makers.

    Put these addons into the system/expressionengine/third_party directory. They should be in a folder named after the addon. Do not place them in one of the module/plugin/extension directories as was customary in EE 1.

    What addon is the exp:navigator tag from?
