Security Hot Fix issue

Hi,

After applying the new Hot Fix patch to six DNN 7.4.2. sites I manage I've noticed an issue. The site pages are no longer listed when choosing "page" in the HTML module hypertext link manager. The "page" option is there, but the drop-down list is empty. Can anyone else confirm?

Thanks.

No such problems on our installations after installing the security update. I just tried to create a new HTML module with some dummytext which I set as a link in the editor to some other page. Would recommend a refresh (under "Tools" menu).

Thanks for the reply. When you say "refresh" do you mean "recycle"? I tried that with the same results. In fact, just installing the hotfix / patch recycles the app pool because the web.config is updated, which forces the recycle. What DNN version are you running? All of these sites are 7.4.2. Thanks again.

Yes, touching the web.config will do that but thought that maybe after that you had gotten "out of sync". The security fix seem to be Telerik related mainly so doubt that it would affect this but haven't really looked into it that much. Using DNN8 here.
