Hi,
just saw that there is an update to Woocommerce 2.5. It’s mentioned there that I should check, if my theme is compatible to this new version. So that’s my question: As I still use Newspaper version 4.6.3, is this compatible to Woocommerce 2.5? I can’t change to Newspaper 6 for the next months, but will do so in summer.
Yours
Mario
Hello Mario,
Unfortunately we have not tested new versions of the plugin with the old version of our website. You will have to test it on your won with a bit of trial and error. The best thing to do is update your theme as soon as possible so you can benefit from the updated content and compatibility.
Thank you!
One thing you can do, too … is make full backup of dbase at server level; make full backup of site via FTP.
Run the update on WooCommerce, then check to see if any theme files need to be manually updated for new hooks in the Newspaper/woocommerce (or wherever that is) folder. It will tell you if something changed on the status report screen in WooC.
If you can’t get it to work, then simply “roll back” your version of WooCommerce from the backup you took via FTP. Any problems with that, then resurrect the mysql dbase from backup.
I will be doing this Saturday on our site, to see what happens đ
Hi Chris,
can you give us any insights from your update? Would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Works for me. Some plugins needed updating, but that is expected.
I’ve just updated and they’ve removed the option to have shipping methods in a drop down, only radio buttons, so consequently the formatting is broken!
Restoring the previous version for now . . .
