Sharepoint 2007 => 2010 Migration issues on Visual Upgrade

Question

I've migrated one portal to a new farm, using the Detach Database method.

Everything went ok until I started testing.

Visual Upgrade didn't return any error but, when viewing list contents (AllItems.aspx) or displaying/editing items (DispItem.aspx/EditItem.aspx) the layouts are rendered incorrectly, all broken, and with some yellow/blue colors of 2007.

Anyone knows how to force update these forms?

Best regards!

Answer 1

Have you checked the UI version of the pages?

You can manually change the UI version from 3 to 4 in PowerShell. This is done in the same way as on an SPWeb, however the forms will be SPFile objects in the Forms library.

Edit:

To rectify this you have a few options:

If the forms were custom and you'd like to retain that look:

1) Open each form in SPD and edit until the form is back to how you wanted it.

If you'd like to revert to the default SharePoint forms:

2) In SPD, navigate to the site, click All Files, navigate to your list. If there is a blue/white exclamation point on the file icon you can right click and choose "Reset to site definition."

3) In the browser, navigate to the list > List Settings (in the ribbon under the List tab) > Form Settings > check "Use the default SharePoint form"
