Upgrading from Universal to Professional template set.

My upgrade from Universal to Professional did not work also. I had my host, pair networks, do my upgrade to 4.2 Pro, and I went in and switched to the new "Professional" template (which I was told is the same as the old Universal). Although it is supposed to be a 2 column layout, everything that is supposed to be in my right smaller column, was being put at the very end of the content in the main column... My host said there is an incompatibility, and I'd have to redo my blog from scratch.

I don't think I'd recommend upgrading to the new Pro 4.2 until more testing and fixing is done.

Was just able to repro this again locally. Also found this bug with an excellent description of the issue from David Phillips: http://bugs.movabletype.org/default.asp?81430

+1 for this issue, exactly as described in the bug report (and mentioned here

I didn't do any refreshing of templates, as they had done it all for me. I will see if they can redo my sites backup and then reupdate to MT 4.2 Pro for me. Then I can try to do these steps myself and hope it works.

If you have phpMyAdmin or another tool to access the Movable Type database, running the following SQL query should immediately resolve this issue:

UPDATE mt_blog_meta SET blog_meta_vchar = 'professional_website' 
  WHERE blog_meta_type = 'template_set' 
  AND blog_meta_vchar = 'universal_website';
