The only place I can post...port map issues Cubase 8 Pro

I am having some serious trouble mapping ports in Cubase 8.0 Pro after a Kontakt failure and subsequent fix. 48 tracks using instruments mapped in a template, which works fine again btw, keep giving me the message Missing Ports, and lists the tracks as unmapped. I cannot figure out how to remap the ports to match the template or copy the settings from the template. All the other parts to the project work fine again, just the one movement that I opened first when Kontakt had failed. It refuses to rediscover the mapping. Please help!
