    Creating a menu system in Umbraco 9

    Previously when creating a Navigation partial I was able to use this type of syntax.

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage

    @{ var homePage = Model.AncestorOrSelf

    Also could use and then all I had to do was loop through

    @foreach (var page in Model.AncestorOrSelf(1).Children.Where(x => x.IsVisible()))

    I am now attempting this in Umbraco 9 and all I get is this un helpful error

    enter image description here

    'ViewsPartials__Navigation' does not contain a definition for 'AncestorOrSelf' and the best extension method overload 'PublishedContentExtensions.AncestorOrSelf

    Could anybody enlighten me please.

    Thanks in advance.

    It sounds like you do not have a using of 

    Umbraco.Extensions

    In the view or the _ViewImports.cshtml

    Hello, thank you for replying. Both _ViewImports and my partial have the @using Umbraco.Extensions;

    Maybe I am missing something in the appsettings.json file? I am fairly new to CMS Umbraco so even the IPublished is a bit confusing.
