Upgrade from 1.x to 2.5 Problems w/ Fieldtype

    Hi there,

    I’m working on an upgrade from 1.7.1 to 2.5 and am receiving errors both on the website and in the CP that seem to be FieldType related.  I have found various threads that say to change the FieldType to something else, but I don’t really understand what this means.  I’ve found some references of the fieldtype errors I am getting in my database, but I don’t know what exactly to change.

    On the live site, I receive the error on the homepage:

      Unable to load requested field type file:  ft.wysiwyg.php.

      Confirm the fieldtype file is located in the expressionengine/third_party/ directory


    In the CP, I receive this error when I try to edit an existing post:

      Unable to load requested field type file:  ft.ftype_id_3.php.

      Confirm the fieldtype file is located in the expressionengine/third_party/ directory


    I realize that there are some modules that were being used in 1.7.1 that are not compatible with 2.5, and have realized that I was naive in expecting the updater to resolve those for me. 

    I’m brand new to EE and I could really use some help - I’m pretty lost.

    Hi tomo,

    I see that this is a duplicate thread of this one. And I see that Dan is on it!

    Going to close this out.

    Cheers,
