You say "many pages" - what pages exactly - and which ones can you still find? Can you find the pages if you search for them? Can you check to see in the database if the page data is still there?

If positively, it might just be a matter of old links being loaded from the language files again, replacing some of your customization. If negative, something worse may have happened - and you may need to manually SQL in the missing data to the database.

Anyone, please give me some advice.

I have an old version backed up (along with DB), but I don't like the idea to go back to 1.5.8 version (from 1.6.7).

Please read the following -

Hello,

After upgrade from 1.5.8 to 1.6.7 version, many pages with data disappeared.

I did: In the maintenance directory: # php update.php # php refreshLinks.php

And now I can see that links from the main menu for: portal sitesupport currentevents

Leading to empty pages: "there is no text" in this page

How can I fix it?

Best Regards, Leon Kolchinsky
