Need help: restoring categories after upgrade to 2.7

Today I have installed the version 2.7, replacing 2.6.8 which I have been using.

I used your Copy to Pro plugin to migrate the data so that it was available in the new plugin. Though the files are now available, the Category information for each was lost.

I have re-applied the proper Category for each file, but even so the category shortcodes are no longer returning data. All I get is the toolbar, with no files appearing even though files are once again assigned to that category.

Is there something more I should do?

Additional information: as a test, I just uploaded a brand new file to a category, and it DOES show up on the page using that category’s shortcode. So the problem isn’t with the shortcode itself. It’s a problem with re-associating my already-existing files with the Category that they were assigned to in version 2.6.8. Going through each file and choosing the category again isn’t working. I appreciate your help.

Update #2 – I found that all of the existing downloads had been set to a status of “Scheduled”, with a to-be-published time a couple of hours in the future. I’m not sure why that happened, but I simply waited a couple of hours and the files now are showing on the pages where I have included the category shortcodes.

Now that everything is showing, I’m finding that my order field = id in the shortcodes isn’t putting things in the intended order anymore because the ID’s were reassigned; everything is jumbled up. But at least the content is there.
