Note

Only needed when you upgrade a YAF.NET v2 forum to v3. The migration tool makes these changes for you; this page lists them for manual changes. See Upgrade an existing installation.

Remove the line:

  <add name="TaskModule" type="YAF.Core.TaskModule, YAF.Core" />

Remove the line:

 <remove name="TaskModule" />

Remove the line:

 <add name="TaskModule" type="YAF.Core.TaskModule, YAF.Core" preCondition="managedHandler" />

Remove the line:

 <add namespace="YAF.Utils" />

Remove:

<authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms name=".YAFNET_Authentication" protection="All" timeout="43200" cookieless="UseCookies" />
    </authentication>

IMPORTANT: Membership migration

The membership settings must be moved to the appSettings section in the app.config. Without them, users can't log in with their old passwords.

The line:

<membership defaultProvider="YafMembershipProvider" hashAlgorithmType="SHA1">

becomes in the app.config:

<add key="YAF.LegacyMembershipHashAlgorithmType" value="SHA1" />

and

<add connectionStringName="yafnet" applicationName="YAF.NET" name="YafMembershipProvider"
             requiresUniqueEmail="true" hashCase="Upper" hashHex="true" type="YAF.Providers.Membership.YafMembershipProvider"
             enablePasswordReset="true" useSalt="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false"
             />

becomes in the app.config:

 <add key="YAF.LegacyMembershipPasswordFormat" value="Hashed" />
  <add key="YAF.LegacyMembershipHashCase" value="Upper" />
  <add key="YAF.LegacyMembershipHashHex" value="true" />

After that, remove the entire <membership> node.

When you later upgrade to v4, these keys move to the BoardConfiguration section of the appsettings.json, see Upgrade to YAF.NET v4.
