Data Migration from 3.7.3 to 3.9.8

    I’ve just upgraded RPR on a site from 3.7.3 to 3.9.8. One huge issue encountered is that the data from the old schema is not migrated to the new schema. For example, I have two fields, street and city. In 3.7.3 these were saved with the meta keys street and city respectively. After the upgrade to 3.9.8 these are now being stored as rpr_street and rpr_city. There probably should be some type of ui tool to migrate this data. Myself, I will need to either run the SQL myself or write some code to do it for me, but non technical users are going to see this as “the plugin lost my data”.

    Surprisingly this only the second report of this issue, but I do agree, it’s one that I need to resolve. I wanted to let you know that you can change your meta key manually back to “street” and “city”. The code I wrote (which is obviously not working) should have respected your original meta keys, but you have the ability to make it whatever you like. So instead of moving all that data, you can just point to the source of your accumulated data. Let me know if that does not work.

    webbtj, I resolved the migration issues for the next release, which doesn’t help you, but will assist other users migrating from 3.6 or 3.7 builds.

    Excellent, yeah I managed to get through it myself with some SQL, but it’ll be great for the community to have this resolved.

    Thanks!
