Hi Team,

I am trying below code to convert classic page to modern page. But getting below error.

Kindly suggest the resolution for the same.

Code:

$modernPage = ConvertTo-PnPClientSidePage -Identity $page.FieldValues["FileLeafRef"] -Overwrite

Error: The 'ConvertTo-PnPClientSidePage' command was found in the module 'SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline', but the module could not be loaded. Fo
r more information, run 'Import-Module SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline'.

Thanks,

Harish Patil

    Hi @Harish Patil ,

    Per my test, you could follow these steps:
    Download SharePoint online management shell

    Then run the command: 

    Install-Module SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline

    And connect your site: 

    #Connect to the classic site with pages to modernize    
Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/teamsite

    Like this:

    Then run this command, you will see a new modern page, and then set it to Home page: 

    ConvertTo-PnPClientSidePage -Identity Home.aspx -AddPageAcceptBanner

    I would validate the pnp module already loaded. Are you running a compatible version of PNP powershell with respect to the native powershell modules?

    PS> get-module | fl *

    Try reloading the PNP powershell directly from nuget

    PS> Install-PackageProvider Nuget -force
    PS> Update-Module -Name PowerShellGet -Force
    PS> Set-PSRepository -Name 'PSGallery' -InstallationPolicy Trusted
    PS> Install-Module SharePointPnpPowerShellOnline

    HTH
