The last site that I haven’t updated is running 1.10.1-standard. So I was going to hold off on it.

Meanwhile, I’m confused as I now have one site that I fixed by moving the theme folder that is running Version 1.10.3. But I need to upgrade it to Standard. So I read how to delete the uninstall to protect data, and I did that and uninstalled and then reinstalled. So now on this site 1.10.3 works except the posterboard has lost its formatting. Not sure why or how to get it back.

I get prompted to update to 1.10.4. When I do that the homepage loses its formatting and the calendar page displays “array array” instead of a calendar. So I downgraded again for now.

On another site I upgrade to WP3.7 and left my working Ai1EC alone for now. The message at the top of the Dashboard says 1.10.9 Standard is now available. This update addresses a change in the update API of WordPress 3.7. but in the Plug-in section it says There is a new version of All-in-One Event Calendar by Timely available. View version 1.10.4 details or update now. That is the update that breaks my other site so I’m not doing that.

Randy that plug-in looks to be pretty new…therefore no track record. And it doesn’t offer nearly the feature-set that Time.ly offers. Time.ly is a great product. They’re a tiny company. Without our support we can lose them.

This fix worked for one of my sites but on another it left me with deformed site structure so I have it disabled. And on a 3rd I’m afraid to do the update at all. I’m wondering when or IF there’ll be an update and what the best practice should be if one hasn’t already done an update. Should we wait or do it and use this fix and keep our fingers crossed or what?!

thanks for responding. I found the fellow who did the work initially and he’s going to fix it for us. AND I determined that we did indeed update the plug-in on Friday which is what caused this.

General has Image is pre-selected checked and Save your settings when uninstalling this plugin. Useful when upgrading or re-installing is also checked.

And Post Visibility only has this checked: Below Content and nothing else.

I’m NOT a coder, but after reading your help stuff I decided to look at the functions.php file. Sure enough my predecessor added this code:

function gh_add_pinterest_via_shortcode( $content ) {
	 if ( /*current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) &&*/ is_single() || is_home() ) {
		$pin_content = str_replace("'", " ", trim( strip_shortcodes( rtrim(strip_tags( get_the_content() ), "Daily Quote") )));
		$content = $content . do_shortcode("[pinit description='$pin_content']") ;
 	}
	return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'gh_add_pinterest_via_shortcode');

So any idea why that would’ve stopped working? It’s in a customized child theme of 2010 if that tells you anything. Thanks.

NOTE: I removed a backtick from that code between the quote marks so it would all display as code.

Vladimir you said “if you install new version, old custom CSS will be automatically added to the new css editor.”

YAY! This is a huge improvement. Thank you. I tried it and it does seem to work. But I noticed on the accordions that what used to be a nice looking sphere icon is now just a simple plus sign like this +. That’s not my CSS it’s a change in the default look I think. Is that a simple tweak?

Thanks for all your work on this. I’m sure it’s frustrating. Know that it is greatly appreciated.

What happens to the custom CSS from the old version into the new? It’s not being recognized even in the newest fix. Thanks for your efforts.

It would’ve been nice to have had a WARNING so we wouldn’t upgrade. This’ll be great for new sites but I have 15 installs of this that were automatically updated before I knew it breaks everything. I had to remove and downgrade all of them. Even the latest version that’s supposed to fix a lot of this still doesn’t make my old stuff look right. All custom CSS is lost. PITA! Too bad. I’ve sent out warnings to our local WP Meetup group and other colleagues. This should’ve been released as a new plug-in and not overwritten what was working perfectly well.

My question is if there’s any security harm in leaving the old version in place long term. Is there any chance you’ll make an update that will transfer everything correctly so we don’t have to manually fix every install?

I have had the same question. In reading the plug-in’s forum I found that he doesn’t support multi-day events. I’ve put in for a feature request for it here: https://pippinsplugins.com/support/topic/all-day-event-events-spanning-multiple-days/.

While there are a lot of other excellent event calendar plug-ins (try The Event Calendar by tri.be) Sugar is the only one that integrates Gravity Forms which I really need for my registration. I’m so bummed that such a basic feature as multi-day events isn’t being supported or even planned for.

PS…I’m happy to buy the Pro version but am doing my homework first.

I don’t think I ever did. I think I just did what I wanted to do differently.

@esmi… Whose site are you saying is running old WP? Neither of us included urls. I keep all mine up to date.

thanks. That’s most helpful.

Thanks

Thank you so much. I’ll try these steps. And yes, I gathered I must buy the Pro version to get more on the form.

Can you help me to understand the advantage of having users registered in WP? Is that what let’s me track who is registered? It just seemed cumbersome to me but maybe I didn’t understand how it worked. The login was so visible too.

Thanks for the response. We would not want to lose the metabar on blog posts. Isn’t the whole point of having the option to choose the events to display as pages instead of posts so that they don’t have this metabar? Seems like that’s a problem.
