I switched back to XWiki 7.2 and I got the Distribution Wizard interface telling me that the 7.1.2 UI is invalid and to upgrade (again). Is that supposed to happen?

I ran an upgrade of a clean 7.1.2 instance to a 7.2 version, through the Distribution Wizard without issues, so my conclusion is that there is a problem with your particular instance's state, probably due to some incomplete upgrade steps. > > Since you are the only one with access to your instances, we need more information of what is going on to find out what went wrong. Alternatively, you could also re-attempt the upgrade and making sure that, while resolving any conflicts during the Distribution Wizard's upgrade step, you include/merge the changes coming from the 7.2 version of the conflicting documents. > > > Re things like "$services.localization.render..." there could be 2 causes > here: > 1) Missing xwiki-platform-localization-(script/api/etc.)-7.2.jar files in your webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib installation folder (maybe due to an improper war upgrade [3]?) > 2) Missing 'admin.xwiki.installedextensions' translation, but that is unlikely since it is located in ApplicationResources.properties which is located in xwiki-platform-oldcore-7.2.jar in your WEB-INF/lib folder, without which your wiki would not be running. > > Hope this helps getting to the bottom of this. > > -Eduard > > ---------- > [1] > http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Check+Content+Author#H… > [2] > http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Security#HSuperadminacc… > [3] http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Upgrade > > On Mon, Oct 5, 2015 at 6:45 PM, Keith Davis > wrote: > > > Maybe we are not talking about the same thing.
