Legacy view not supported with version 6.0

    Hello,

    as I know you will fully remove the legacy view with version 6.0, right?

    The calendar page of all the websites that we made with the legacy view will have a broken layout. I can already see it now if I switch to the updated views.

    Nowhere in the backend of your plugin was written that view was deprecated.
    Are you sure you want to do a so drastic removal without first declaring the legacy view as deprecated in the backend? The warning should be very big and clear in the backend, and the users should have the time to take action after seeing the warning. I think version 6 would be too early for something like this that will break a lot of websites.

    To be honest, I was very disappointed with this news. I totally understand that you want to improve the plugin, but I don’t think this is the way to deprecate a feature. We are speaking about the most important thing of your plugin, the calendar view. Please rethink how you can deprecate the legacy view in a much less drastic way.

    Will you offer a filter hook to keep the legacy view? Or is avoiding future updates of the plugin the only solution to don’t break the layout?

    Hi @giuse,

    Thanks for reaching out to us.

    First, we are truly sorry about your experience, and we really understand your frustration. We did try our best at communicating about the legacy deprecation for close to a year now.?We also used newsletter to mitigate for the fact that people might not have gotten the memo. That being said, I know this is not a fair answer for you as of the moment. But?in the end, the increased performance and updates with V2 is worth taking a shot.

    We do not have a filter/hook that would keep the legacy view. Yes, you could delay updating the plugin if you would need more time, but moving forward there would be warnings and errors that you might encounter.?

    I would really suggest upgrading to v2, there would be a bit of work involved in updating, but we do have articles that would guide you. Please follow and learn more about it from these article here:

    1. https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/v1-deprecation-faqs/
    2. https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/prepare-your-site-for-the-removal-of-v1-legacy-views/

    Thanks for understanding and your patience with us. Apologies for the inconvenience.

    i started this process for v2 on ONE website a month ago ,yes the legacy where very heavily modded , the new v2 templates i dont find any faster , and with each template outline are many many many templates to edit , the classes and the css are awful to work with . not as easy to mod anymore. i dont like the v2 at all , i wont update and more sites , i will be changing the events calendar to another plugin that is easier to work with.
    i feel the events calendar are off on a very diffrent tangent these days , with many many basic features still abscent that where voted a lot of times for MANY years ago…..

    Hi @pauly231,

    Thanks for reaching out and appreciate your feedback here, and rest assured we also listen to our users and the community.

    Apologies if you find our new updates (v2) not as good as expected, but our team is working hard to optimize the plugin. Moreover, perhaps I could help you with your upgrade?

    In terms of speed, if you’re running huge plugins alongside our plugin, you might need to do more than migrating to v2. Some of our users had the same issue and had experience slowness, and was resolved with caching and upgrading their servers.

    In regard with the templates, we highly recommend doing template customization via child theme. I know, it is much of a work, but I think it is easier once familiarized with all the formats and files. We also updated our knowledge base to help our users.

    See the article here for Template Customization with V2:
    https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/customizing-template-files-2/

    Lastly, sorry to hear about the experience you had with our plugin, and we don’t want to hold you with a product/plugin you are not happy with.

    Please let us know if this helps or if you need any additional help.
    Have a great day, Paul.

    Best,
