    Upgrading from 7.6.3 to 7.12.3 causes error on running site "Unrecognized element 'backOffice'"

    Hi All,

    I have just updated my site running Umbraco 7.6.3 to 7.12.3 using nuget package manager, following the general upgrade guide by Umbraco. When I run the site I get this error: "Unrecognized element 'backOffice'". The backOffice element is located in the config\umbracoSettings.config file.

    Has anyone experienced the same issue? Any ideas about how to fix this?

    Many thanks in advance!

    This error was being caused as I was not clicking "No to All" when prompted to overwrite files.

    This error has gone but when i now run the site I get a new error:

    CS1501: No overload for method 'BareMinimumServerVariablesScript' takes 3 arguments "@Html.BareMinimumServerVariablesScript(Url, ApplicationContext.Current, Url.Action("ExternalLogin", "BackOffice", new { area = ViewBag.UmbracoPath }))" in file:

    \Umbraco\Views\Default.cshtml

    Any ideas why?

    I had to install Umbraco 7.7.0 first and then upgrade from there to the latest version.. A long process but got it working now.
