I have about 50 pages in my Umbraco site and for some reason all of the URLs went from being based on the site structure to either just # or just the id of the page, like /1083
What would have caused that to happen and how can I fix it now?
Also, it would be nice to understand how these URLs get created if there is some method somewhere that manages it or they are in the database somewhere.
Delete the App_Data/umbraco.config file and then go into the admin and republished the whole site.
Thanks #Pauli

I am using umbraco 7.1.3.
My requirement is to create another sub-domain in main site dynamically as per user request.For example I have implemented umbraco cms for my site "ww.xyz.com" & I am updating content through umbraco login. Now I want to create sub-domains for different clients as per their request... like : "www.xyz.com/client1", "www.xyz.com/client2" and so on...
Now all sub-domain site should have it's own umbraco framework, so client-site (sub-domain owner) can login and update their information respectively.
To achieve this requirement I implemented following steps...
First I register a umbraco website in IIS and configure it, and that worked properly.
Then I register another umbraco website in IIS and configured it, and that also worked properly.
Now to implement sub-domain logic...
I simply copied 2nd website's folder in to first website folder. Then convert that folder to application through IIS.
As per my expectation this should work, As I have already done the same in asp.net and it worked.
But with umbraco I am facing issue like "Invalid key value".
I think the issue is related to some umbraco configuration, but I am not able to figure it out.
Thanks & Regards
A bit of an open door, but since I don't see it mentioned in any of the comments and it's a bit hidden away in Umbraco 8. Have you tried setting the urls in the Cultures and Hostnames section?
Note: you get to this by going to "Content", in the content tree right click on your homepage and now you get several extra options which are normally hidden away with also the very useful Hostname and Cultures option which allows you to support multiple urls.
As a security measure, I am trying to remove the admin UI from an Umbraco 7 site without affecting the front end of the site. I have tried deleting both Umbraco and Umbraco_Client folders (I seem to remember this was how you removed a pre Umbraco 7 site) but the front end of the site errors due to various files that are now missing.
In an ideal scenario I would like to update the content from a staging server and import the database back into the live site, but also I would like to avoid solving this with folder permissions.
Can anyone offer me some advice on the best way to remove the admin UI safely?
Are you trying to have a separation of environment between content entry and delivery? Not sure if you've seen it but this discussion on the Umbraco forum has some suggestions (but no ideal solutions in my opinion) for that
http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/extending-umbraco/33337-Creating-a-content-editing-and-content-delivery-environment
You could always just do some URL restriction on the server but there's no ideal way as far as I can see

I am running an instance of Umbraco 6.1.x and it has started throwing 404 on published pages.
My page structure is as follows,
Content
Home
About
Course
...
Component
Home
About
Course
Where component holds all resources and modules (HTML sections and stuff) for a page and using a partial view macro I dynamically load all components at runtime for a specific page.
We are facing an issue where we get 404 on every page after a full republish once we hit the HomePage. Before hitting home page they are all fine, but the moment we hit the homepage they are all throwing 404. By overriding the handlers I found out that they are hitting ~/umbraco/RenderMvc!
Any idea what can cause this?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
It is actually throwing:
No template exists to render the document at url '/'
considering the aforementioned scenario.
I have proper allowed template setup and property on nodes are showing the correct template associated with the respective items. Not sure why it's losing template info. I can force it to load under correct template using ?altTemplate=templateName.
Some pointers, we have a view in Views/Shared folder (apart from macro partials) tied to a surface controller.
One thing I would like to say is, we are using nested (library.RenderMacroContent with Umbraco markup) in our partial views and I have realized that the whole page throws 404 if there's a page with a link to the broken page which is broken (i.e. page got re-created and on t==e of the components is holding a link to the page with previous id). Suggestions?
did you get to the bottom of this? We're having exactly the same problem at the moment, on the same version of Umbraco.
I've noticed that when it happens, the umbraco.config becomes either corrupt or rolls back to a much, much earlier version, with all sorts of attributes missing. This lead us to believe it was a sync issue between the DB and umbraco.config.
We initially thought we had solved it by deleting App_Data > TEMP > ExamineIndex and recycling the app pool etc. Maybe give this ago, as it fixed it for a while for us, but alas, the demon has reared its ugly head once more. We are still in a full on dev stage though, so the constant changing may be complicating it further for us - perhaps it will be a fix for you.
If you have any more info, or even a fix, it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
EDIT:
Ok, I think I've solved this now, but only time will tell. Try emptying your recycle bin & then republish entire site.
I managed to consistently recreate the bug using IIS SEO site analysis. Each time I did this, the log threw up an error 'cannot find node id xyz', turns out that (and other) nodes were in the recycle bin. Upon emptying it the errors stopped. Good luck!
I'm setting up a new Umbraco site to replace an older ASP.Net site.
The old site is riddled with old content that isn't linked to anymore. I want to prevent the same thing from happening on the new Umbraco site.
Is there a good way of finding unused items in Umbraco's Content folder (not Templates or Document Types)?
If that's not feasible, is there a way to keep content owners from creating a bunch of content pages and abandoning them instead of deleting them?
It's an interesting question, but from an SEO point of view an old page of content has plenty of power & I wouldn't delete it if possible.
I don't know of an umbraco package that will tell you which pages don't have links - but Google will tell you. If you want to know what links to www.example.com/oldpage.html then type the following into Google:
link:www.example.com/oldpage.html
(https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/55281?hl=en)
I wouldn't delete old content (unless it is now plainly wrong) I'd keep all the old content & tidy it away:
Create a folder under home called something like 'archive'
Move all your dead content there
Use a 301 redirection package or change urlrewriting.config in case there are any external links to these dead pages as the old urls will now return 404 errors
Make sure that the sitemap contains links to these new archive pages
You will now have cleaned up the structure, but without losing any SEO value.
I have a new SharePoint server which I've attached a content database to. The new server is configured like the old one (same deployed solutions, settings, etc) and there was no errors when we attached the content database (which is a copy of the old server's content database).
At first, it looked fine, the site on the new server was working. But then we discovered that som sites couldn't be reached, when we try, we'll get a "404 File not found" error. The strange thing is that we can clearly see the sites in Manage Content Structure but when we try to open them, we get errors.
The error only occurs for a site called "Webbplatser" and all of it's subsites. The other sites, like Sök is working just fine. I can browse all the sites under "Webbplatser" without any problem from "Manage Content and Structure". I can see the default.aspx page for all the sites but when I try to open any of them, I'll get the 404 File not found error.
Anyone recognise this error? We are using Sharepoint 2007. Please help.
Sounds like there could be some site solution missing, perhaps even custom master pages or page layouts that were added in the 12 hive on which the Webbplatser site is reliant.
Use the the url of the webbplatser site and tack on the _layouts/settings.aspx to see if you can get to the site settings and see what is set up there. Failing that I'd do a directory tree compare between your old server and the new one, focusing on the 12 hive.
