Upgrading from an old version of eshop – 4.0.2

    Hi, I’ve been asked to update a WordPress site which is running a very old version of Eshop – 4.0.2.

    I’m updating WP in gradual increments and was going to do the same with Eshop to avoid potential issues as much as possible.

    When I upgraded Eshop from 4.0.2 to 5.8.1 (the oldest version on the repository) all of the products disappeared from the admin section – there’s nearly 200 products so that was a bit of a crisis!.

    I restored the old version of the plugin, which also brought back all the products, so I’m wondering if there’s anywhere I can get hold of the older versions of the plugin – 4.2 up to 5.6 would be great. If not can you suggest how to retrieve the products after upgrade?

    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Oh – good grief! That’s positively ancient! I think the jump from 4.0.2 to 5.8.1 was just too large for your database to handle. We may not have copies going back that far either (the plugin is over 6 years old). We’ll try checking through all our archives (which could take quite a while) but I wouldn’t hold your breath on this one. 🙁

    Ah ok. It’s not online is it? I don’t mind searching myself – the upgrade needs doing before Sunday ideally…

    Thanks for prompt response though!

    Sorry – it’s not online. We’d need to start digging through our local archives & backups.

    Hi Esmi

    Just checking if you’d had chance to look at this yet? I’ve had a look through the older documentation and it looks like versions 5.7.4 and 5.0.0 are where the key database changes happened, so if you can only find those two that might sort it out.

    Many thanks

    After a great deal of searching and some additional work…

    <fx: drum roll>

    All older versions of eShop can now be found at http://quirm.net/download/

    Please note that these older versions are offered “as is” and that we cannot offer any support for them.
