Meeting Workspace links do not work after upgrade to SharePoint 2010

Links in a Meeting Workspace break after upgrading to SharePoint 2010. This is a known issue.

This is because Meeting Workspace sites have a different site template called MWSdefault.master in 2007. In 2010 it is MWSdefaultV4.master. When you upgrade it needs to be repointed to MWSdefaultV4.master when you change to 2010 UI mode.

You can do this with SharePoint Designer, or you can go to a sub-site Site Settings – Master Page Gallery, and download a copy of MWSdefaultV4.master locally, then upload it to the Site Collection Master Page Gallery. Then you can go back to your site and change it’s master page to MWSdefaultV4.master.

The URL for changing the site’s Master Page is /_layouts/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx .

Hi Linda,

I cannot find a way to alter the MWS Masterpage. The page you are mentioning (/_layouts/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx) provides options to change the MP and System MP, not the MWS MP.
Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Michael
