Good afternoon,
Could you tell me the steps to upgrade from 1.3.1 to 1.7.?
I have understood that you had to run a SQL code. What is?
I have version 5.5.9 of PHP installed on Ubuntu, and 4.1 wordpress. Will there be any problem?
Thank you very much and congratulations for the theme.
Miguel
Hi,
If you have custom modifications to the theme files you ca take a look and see what files we change until latest update and update only that files. Anyway we have made many changes till version 1.7.
If you don’t have any modifications to the files please follow this guide to update and use FTP method(also make a backup of your current theme installation, so you can revert if something goes wrong): https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/ and also update the plugins that come with the theme files from the /plugins folder.
In 1.5 theme’s version we have renamed some shortcodes:
– 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
So 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.
Rename the short codes via SQL: https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-newsmag-to-1-5/
The shortcodes shouldn’t be a problem, they will just appear on page as a code, you have to locate them and manually modify them to the new format: http://screencast.com/t/Da8k0HHtSD or use the SQL query (in phpmyadmin) to automatically replace them in the database – http://screencast.com/t/G1SwZNDb
Hope this helps
