Upgrade destruction

Update has removed the event list from my widgets area, when I replace in widgets it doesn’t show.

3.5.2 Update has frozen my rotating header which was working via a rotate.php in same folder as images…tried different code for this file but now only one image loads and stays the same within browser and mobile browsers no matter what code is used to randomly select and image when another page is selected. Worked great until this week ?!@#?

If I load the rotate.php directly via url in my browser, it does return a random image from the 20 or so in folder.

Whoops wrong forum topic. Admin can delete my posts here. Otherwise ignore

Where to downgrade? New version totally screwed up for me too.

Hey folks. Thanks for the note here, and first let me obviously apologize for the poor experience you’ve had – and on top of that for the failure to get you a reply here quicker. While we’ve been attempting to hit the dot-org forum more actively than our usual 1x weekly here, we’ve had a lot of questions about the update and have been limited in our support resources. Please know we do value this feedback and are committed to helping out those of you aiming to make the upgrade successfully.

It looks like nickaster has already pointed you to the archive of historical versions; 2.0.11 was the final of the 2.x lifecycle and is the most stable from that era. If you are ever planning to upgrade back to 3.0 down the road (which we hope you do) 2.0.11 is the version you’ll want to update from.

This is definitely a major upgrade that changes a lot; and particularly for folks with customizations, you’re going to need to spend some time updating those so they work in the new codebase. That said we realize upgrades like this can be an intense process and want to help get your update-related issues sorted. For those who have a staging site they can attempt it on (so there isn’t the pressure of a live site hanging over you or your clients’ heads), we are happy to help you work through getting your 3.0 site to look like you had it in 2.x.

Please do accept our apologies, and know that we’re actively working on maintenance builds to patch whatever plugin bugs are reported. Theme integration problems (which have been the bulk of the conflicts I’ve seen so far) are generally addressed on a case by case basis…and while we can’t ensure integration with every theme out there, if the plugin was working on a given theme previously but isn’t anymore, that’s a problem we want to help get sorted. Let me know what I and the team can do to this end.

I would really like to know the justification for changing the names of the folders of all the customization files. That seems like an unnecessary change that would logically cause grief for a wide spread of users who are dedicated to your plugin.

And no this is not a rhetorical question.

Designers,

I know you work hard to provide either free or paid services. Your Events calendar was excellent but this upgrade needs pulling off the market. Please action a plugin notice for the previous version until this one is fixed and road tested. ACn you also test with Coraline

I have now spent so much time rebulding my site from scratch with much to do but would really like the old version until you get it fixed.

Whilst you are at it where one has regular weekly events say from Aug – Sept (repeated every 6 weeks) it would be nice if the oldest date was auto replaced with the next present date i.e every Saturday . This was it would make the site fresher

i.e
regular Sat event
Sat 24th Aug – 7th Sept

the following week the same info is shown.

It would be great to have an automatic showing like:

31st Aug – 7th Sept
