    I can see them, did you check your roles and permissions?

    My suggestion is to use the porter plugin to export all your information first. That's your backup and restoring it using the porter plugin would be one of your options.

    After you installed 2.0.18.8, did you run utility/update again? Or utility/structure?
    Shouldn't you upgrade to earlier versions first before you upgrade to 2.0.18.8?

    thanks for your help guys I reverted back to the old backup. As I am not sure what will work , as I have tried update utility , I did clean cach .ini files . every thing I test

    so I think now I should try the plugin mentioned by UnderDog Porter plugin .

    let see what happens

    Try to do an upgrade on your local PC first and if that works, upgrade on your live site.

    There must be a way to do an upgrade without using the porter plugin. But upgrading from 2.0.1 means upgrading first to older versions and then to 2.0.18.8, like x00 says.
