Sitecored

I was recently working on a client's project running Sitecore 8.1 Update 3 and I needed to do some bulk item changes. I decided to install the latest Sitecore PowerShell Extensions (4.7.2) to accomplish this task, however, I was not able to get the module working right away. Even though I was able to open the PowerShell ISE, whenever I opened the PowerShell console, I got a 404 error: Because of that error, the security prompt asking for my password to elevate the session state never appeared.

To fix this, I read a lot of posts and most of them recommended resetting the translation cache by doing something similar to this: Sitecore.Globalization.Translate.ResetCache(true) That approach didn't work in my case. What I ended up doing was adding a processor to the GetTranslation pipeline as Steven Karrmann recommended in the community forums. To accomplish this, you need to add a patch containing the new processor: <configuration xmlns:patch="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/"> <sitecore...
