Well no Shaon, I’ve upgraded to 4 and fixed everything. It took me all day and into the night last night, but it’s done. I moved the “featured” images into the description, because I can control my template with the image in the description which I couldn’t do with the featured image.
It seems wrong to make a change of a preview image into a forced featured image (especially when the featured image becomes so huge on the page, it needs to be centered) if people didn’t set those things up in the first place. The other problem is, that one needs a featured image now in order to use a gallery, and that’s not going to work for me either, so I’ll do without that, however, I did make a list of the changes other people will need to make when they upgrade to 4.0
Migration does the following:
Moves Preview image to Featured Image (not cool)
Will need to reset all categories
Reset Expirations
Reset Custom Fields
Enable Downloads for individual file
Upload any special icons you had previously so they will show up. (especially if you have your own) if you don’t upload ones you had added yourself, you’ll need to reset those. (Because upgrading deleted the files, it deleted anything you would have added as well as a file-icon.
Most likely you will need to redesign your custom template. (Even tho it will still see the template, the change of preview image to featured image, and custom fields will change how your download pages display.
Blue download button (where did my old one go)?
I realize this is the wrong topic, but I’m not going to pay for a customization for a feature I use to have in 3.8.
The other thing is, I did contact you about my issue with the expiration date not working and you wrote me back telling me to upgrade to 4.0. I really took that as a “no” I’m not going to fix a 3.8 script.
So all is well again, I’ve fixed my display, I’ve fixed my images, my categories are all reset, my expirations back in place, my custom fields are all setup again, individual downloads are all reset, why would I go back?
