Looks like you need to follow the "Check your apps file" part of the upgrade instructions: https://docs.grabaperch.com/perch/upgrading/

If you follow those start to finish that should get you past most common pitfalls.

Hi, thanks for coming back to me.

The instructions refer to a perch/config/config.apps file. I don't have that file. I have apps.php, bk_config.php, config.php, feathers.php and filetypes.ini in tyhat directory

The apps file looks like this:

<?php
    include(PERCH_PATH.'/core/apps/content/runtime.php');
?>

I have three websites all down at the moment because I thought that this was going to be a simple easy process. What do I need to do to get this sorted??

The apps file is what you need to change.

Change it to this:

<?php
    $apps_list = [ 
    ];

If you have an app like blog you'd add it like this:

<?php
$apps_list = [
'perch_blog',
];

That's fixed it thanks. Do I need to install the CKEditor? Is that what's used by default to edit content within Perch or is it something extra? Thanks

You don't need to install it, it's not default

Only need to install it if you do this in your templates editor="ckeditor"
