Multiple 'Blog' entries in the left menu of Admin
Just updated from the last version of Perch 2 to Perch 3.0 (and then also to 3.0.1), and Blog (from 5.0 to 5.5.1) and Members (from 1.6 to 1.6). The end result is a menu item of 'Blog' repeating 4 times in the left column of 'My Site'. Everything still works ok, it seems.
I found Settings/Diagnostics/Add-ons and Menu Management with a button for Rebuild now. That reports 'menu successfully rebuilt' but it changes nothing.
As an aside, is the 'Newsfeed' still a valid app? All that does is display the contents of the apps/perch_newsfeed folder. Maybe there's a new version of this App? I couldn't find it under https://addons.perchcms.com/ but I think it was listed elsewhere on the site pre V3?

Do you have multiple copies of blog inside your
addons/appsfolder?Newsfeed is not currently available, no.
Multiple copies of perch_blog - no, not now*. Just one folder of each of perch_blog, perch_members, perch_newsfeed.
*When updating blog I did what I've always done ... copy the new /perch_blog over and rename the old one as /perch_blog_old (and then delete it later). This worked fine on Perch 2 for years, but obviously it messes with the menu on Perch 3. How do I fix it?
Thanks on 'newsfeed' - I've removed it for now (and did a rebuild of menu management that removed it)
If you got dupes still, move
perch_blogout ofapps, rebuild the menu, then move it back.Perfect - that fixed it, thanks. I'll change the way I do my app updates now. :-)
