Hello everyone,
Tomorrow I will upgrade to the latest version 1.7.1 of Newsmag and update wordpress.
I currently have a previous version to 1.5, and it seems that this link is broken (there was a pre-upgrade 1.5 indications): https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-newsmag-to-1-5/
Does anyone know where I can find those instructions?
thank you very much
Hi
you can upgrade right to 1.71 — just be aware some of the codes on front page changed with Visual Composer and tagdiv blocks. So, you pretty much just need to revisit your home page after update and update/change a couple of blocks if they no longer work. Not too painful. 🙂
Was not there a SQL code that you had to run from the phpMyAdmin?
Nope.
That was only if you somehow wanted to automagically update that stuff …
I never did any phpadmin thing to my sites on updating Newsmag… ever!
That was a special case. For us, we just had to fix one block that changed, and that wss it; just updated that, resaved home page. Done.
I think the MySQL thing was for folks who had built massive custom pages, categories, etc., using Visual Composer — in our case we only used it for home page and nothing else.
The version 1.5 changes;
note that some of the modules “changed” and so if you were using these ; they would need to be updated to the new names — or as we did on home page; just replace old item with new one. 🙂
[ Version 1.5 ]
The following shortcodes and widgets have been renamed:
* td_ad_box -> td_block_ad_box
* td_authors -> td_block_authors
* td_homepage_full_1 -> td_block_homepage_full_1
* td_popular_categories -> td_block_popular_categories
* td_video_vimeo -> td_block_video_vimeo
* td_video_youtube -> td_block_video_youtube
* td_text_with_title -> td_block_text_with_title
* td_slide -> td_block_slide
* td_social_counter -> td_block_social_counter
* Rename the short codes via SQL
* Please note that the renamed widgets have to be re added to each sidebar after this update. Make sure that you backup your database and if possible get the widget list from your sidebars.
