Custom layout disappeared after update

    Hello,

    I created a custom layout and stored it as suggested in the plugin’s folder.

    The 2.0 version erased/replaced the whole folder and therefore my layout inside. Nothing was shown to users anymore, until I re-uploaded the custom layout myself (not really nice as we rely quite much on this feature).

    Could you find a way to make sure that updates don’t erase layouts or tell me how to do? If necessary, I can move the layout files anywhere else if you tell me where.

    Thanks in advance for your support,
    Alyaron

    Hello,

    It’s WordPress update scenario, WordPress removes previous plugin completely and then install new plugin. It’s why your custom layout removed.

    I suggest you to override one of default layouts in your theme if you don’t want to upload your custom layout again after each update.

    For overriding a layout in your theme, upload the layout file in /path/to/theme/webilia/magic-post-listing/app/widgets/MPL/tmpl/default.php
    Same for assets or forms directory.

    Thanks for the quick reply – it works!

    As I understand it (digging into the code), all default layouts in /wp-content/plugins/magic-post-listing/app/widgets/MPL may be overridden by files in /wp-content/themes/mytheme/webilia/magic-post-listing/app/widgets/MPL, but no new layout may be added this way.

    Therefore I replaced the “default” layout with mine and I’m all set.
    Thanks again,
    Alyaron
