• I am not able to understand how to update to Jetpack CRM database [is it version 3 or version 4 now?]

    I can install and use this really old version: zero-bs-crm.1.5.zip
    But when I upgrade to the current 5.0 version I get the error message:

    Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.

    With this URL: ./wp-admin/admin.php?page=zerobscrm-dash

    When I go to tools I see this message:

    This version of Jetpack CRM (5.0.1) requires an upgraded database (3.0). Your database is using an older version than this (1.0). To use Jetpack CRM you will need to install version 4 of Jetpack CRM and run the database upgrade.

    To be clear:
    I can not install versions 4, 3, or 2 of CRM either. Only version 1.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi Ron,

    Thanks for reaching out. Jetpack CRM v 5 uses version 3.0 for its database. To upgrade the database on your site, you will need to install an older version (4.x) of the plugin > Do the database upgrade > upgrade the plugin to version 5.

    You can download version 4.11.0 Jetpack CRM from this link.

    https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/zero-bs-crm.4.11.0.zip

    And then follow this guide for upgrading the database.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Thank you for your reply Guarav

    Unfortunately, as I mentioned in the original request for help, only version 1 of your WordPress CRM installs correctly. So I can not install version 4 of your CRM.

    Error message while attempting to install version 4.11:

    “The link you followed has expired.”

    I was hoping to use your CRM as part of your bundle of subscription services, but don’t think this is going to work out without your CRM.

    Hi @ronf!

    Could you please try deleting the Jetpack CRM plugin currently installed on your site? Then, download the .zip file for the 4.11 version, here:

    https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/zero-bs-crm.4.11.0.zip

    Then, upload this .zip file on your Plugins page. I have tried this file, and it was uploaded and activated successfully.

    You can follow the guide here:

    Let us know how it goes.

    The previous tech support message asked me to do the same exact thing. I have tried this version several times along with a report of what my error is after the attempt to install (and yes I deleted the old install of version 1 of your crm first) in my previous post on this support thread. I am telling you that version 4.11.0.zip will not install correctly on my site. I have given you folks the error message I get along with a request from my site to update the CRM database. Embarasing that you would again ask me to do the same exact thing just because it works on some other computer somewhere.

    I have to say: I am inclined to skip the $1K per year subscription with the claim that there is excellent tech support. I was expecting a debug strategy from you folks, as to why I get that error message

    “The link you followed has expired.”

    Just close this call – you folks don’t have time to even read the support request. Which is unacceptable to me. Thank the open source community for a competitive solution using sugarcrm

    Hi @ronf,

    Based on what you’ve shared so far, there are still a number of variables at play that could affect installing Jetpack CRM v.4.11 effectively. For example:

    – What version of Jetpack CRM did you have prior to update?
    – “The link you followed has expired.” is a WP/server-side issue that can occur when various PHP limits are too low for uploading/processing a file, as you can see here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-the-link-you-followed-has-expired-error-in-wordpress/. Have you reached out to your hosting provider for assistance?

    Thank you Jay:

    As I mentioned in my original request for support, I can only run your CRM version 1. Versions 2 to 5 give me the “link you followed has expired error”.

    Thank you for the suggested reading on the “link you followed has expired error”. My shared web hosted site has limited memory. I wrote a simple php script to test my site’s memory/time and share the results here:

    php memory info
    upload_max_filesize: 2M (suggested size: 120M)
    post_max_size: 8M (suggested size: 120M)
    max_execution_time: 30 (suggested time: 300)
    Reference: wordpress suggested memory size

    Any idea what limits I should ask my web hosting service to give me temporarily to install versions 4/5 of your CRM?

    ps: Here is my code for this memory info. Maybe it would be useful to share with others as needed…

    <?php 
    /* 
    File: phpmemfo.php
    Purpose: Display a web site's wordpress.org memory info
    Usage: upload and run this code from your website
    Author: BiophysicsLab.com, no rights reserved, June 2022
    */
    
    echo "<h2>php memory info</h2>";
    $upload_max_size = ini_get('upload_max_filesize');
    $post_max_size = ini_get( 'post_max_size');
    $max_execution_time = ini_get( 'max_execution_time');
    echo "<b>upload_max_filesize: " .$upload_max_size. "</b> (suggested size: 120M)</br>";
    echo "<b>post_max_size: " .$post_max_size. "</b> (suggested size: 120M)</br>";
    echo "<b>max_execution_time: " .$max_execution_time. "</b> (suggested time: 300)</br>";
    echo '<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-the-link-you-followed-has-expired-error-in-wordpress/">Reference: wordpress suggested memory size</a></p>';

    OK: I see that zero-bs-crm.1.5.zip is 1.8 M (which is under my max limit on my site)
    While: all other versions of crm range from 8 to 15 M (which is over my web site memory limit).

    So: I am closing this support call and will work my web hosting service to get the memory limits I need. Thanks for your help.
