Hey

Recently we upgraded an EPiserver site from 10.01 version to 11.1.2.

After which we are facing the below issue.

Could not load type 'EPiServer.PlugIn.GuiPlugInAttribute' from assembly 'EPiServer, Version=11.2.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8fe83dea738b45b7'.

Any help on this would be highly appreciated.

Kind Regards

That class was moved to EPiServer.Cms.AspNet.dll in CMS 11, so I suppose one of the assemblies has reference to it. That assembly would need to be recompiled.

What is your full stacktrace?

Yes Quan. I was using https://github.com/Geta/Tags

After removing this, the solutions worked fine.

Looks like the The latest version is compiled for .NET 4.5 and EPiServer 10.

Thank you for your answer.

Hey guys,

i have the same problem. I also used Geta Tags en Geta Sitemap, but those are upgraded to be compatible with 11.x as well.. 

All other 3rd party addons are upgraded and i checked are all 11.x compatible because they all updated their packages as well.

I have these installed.

Thats is my error... I really need this to work. I had 2 external DLL's referenced but i have removed those, to see if that was the problem, but still this error. 

What else am i missing?
