Note: that all error messages stating "Currently using Missing or invalid module" will be resolved after running the drush updatedb step above.

Note: These references should be replaced by their new counterparts wxt_core, wxt_ext_page and wxt_ext_media. As some of your config objects might reference the old modules this step is important to get your config loaded.
