Upgrading from 0.7.3 to 0.8.2 / 0.9.0

    Hello,

    I am attempting a test to upgrade from 0.7.3 to 0.8.2, however, whenever I visit my categories page, the app throws an error like below:

    error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'cid' of null
at async.waterfall.category.children (/home/ubuntu/nodebb-0.8/src/categories.js:330:43)

    I'm able to actually upgrade from 0.7.3 to 0.9.0 with none of these errors. What should I do, without losing my categories and all their posts?

    I am assuming you are getting this error on 0.7.3 or 0.8.2 cuz that stack trace doesn't point to the correct place in 0.9.0, I suggest making a backup and upgrading to 0.9.0 and check if everything is working.

    @nuchin What steps did you follow to upgrade from 0.7.3 to 0.8.2?

    Which theme are you using and the version of that theme?

    I've already tried to go straight from 0.7.3 -> 0.9.0 with success. Plugin support hasn't caught up yet though.

    @pichalite , I'm using a 2nd instance of nodebb, with a 2nd mongodb instance. I first upgraded my plugins to the latest, ran ./nodebb upgrade while on 0.7.3

    I then:
    git checkout v0.8.x
    git pull (just in case)
    ./nodebb upgrade

    running in dev mode just crashes and relaunches when hitting the categories page. When I first installed the forum, I was using v0.8.0 and switched to v.7.x since the plugin support wasn't updated yet.

    I am using the Vanilla theme and it upgraded to 4.0.8 after switching to v0.8.2
