Title: Version 4.0 changes Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Version 4.0 changes * Resolved [jgjh151](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jgjh151/) * (@jgjh151) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-40-changes/) * The main issue is that all sites that used the widget are not showing the widget anymore until I go in an re-add the widget. They all went away on All sites. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/category-posts/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/category-posts/) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Plugin Author [Mrinal Roy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mkrdip/) * (@mkrdip) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-40-changes/#post-5113657) * Hi There, * The plugin has numerous code changes to be compatible with latest WordPress version. I’ve added **Upgrade Notice** to `readme.txt` file also, hope you won’t mind to update your widget. * Have fun, Cheers! * Thread Starter [jgjh151](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jgjh151/) * (@jgjh151) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-40-changes/#post-5113658) * Did you mean for people to have to go back and add it to their widgetized areas? * Plugin Author [Mrinal Roy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mkrdip/) * (@mkrdip) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-40-changes/#post-5113660) * Yes, they need to remove the old widget & add new one. The previous version of this plugin is more than 4years old. 🙂 * [vandling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vandling/) * (@vandling) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-40-changes/#post-5113699) * We have about 600 sites with your plugin on it. They are all dropping off the grid as “clients” make updates and their entire menu systems are removed. * Not really the best way to go about this? * [gmariani405](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmariani405/) * (@gmariani405) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-40-changes/#post-5113700) * Unacceptable. You changed ALL the prefixes for variable names, properties and widget name for vanities sake. Now you broke THOUSANDS of sites and you’re suggestion is “just re-add the widget”. Nope not gonna happen. Gonna edit our archived copy to stop the update so your “update” doesn’t break tons of sites. Additionally with the CSS change the menu’s need to be tweaked for every installation to make it look like it used to. * I strongly advise AGAINST updating this plugin. Unless you want your settings to reset, your widget to be removed and your menu to look different than how you had it. * [MaxP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maxp/) * (@maxp) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-40-changes/#post-5113723) * Before the update I had the plugin all styled in CSS, and it was working and lovely. Now, after updating, the widget disappeared, and when I went to re-add it, the styling in my style.css stylesheet no longer affects it. How do I: * – Style the plugin with the stylesheet that was styling it previously or – Undo the update so my website goes back to working? * Thanks for the plugin, but you made a real pigs ear with this update… * [MaxP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maxp/) * (@maxp) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-40-changes/#post-5113724) * Don’t worry, I’ve fixed my problem by re-installing version 3.3. Needless to say I will never be updating any plugins ever again. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

Please change the name of the new one so that the thousands of sites happily using the old version do not break. I too strongly advise AGAINST updating this plugin. * [purrdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/purrdesign/) * (@purrdesign) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-40-changes/#post-5113775) * +1 to the complaint that this update broke dozens of sites in which I had used and customized this plugin. It’s basically an entirely new plugin in my mind and should have been released as such. * [livinginitaly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/livinginitaly/) * (@livinginitaly) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-40-changes/#post-5113790) * Same problem – had to manually add widgets back. Thankfully I’m only using this on 4 sites. I also removed the call to styles in the functions to get my styles own back. Thank you for taking over development – but please add a warning to the update that this will require a lot of manual reactivation of widgets for developers with hundreds of sites. * [bigrala](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bigrala/) * (@bigrala) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-40-changes/#post-5113854) * Shit, the new Plugin change the Font Size (Haedline to Contnt). * Where I can get the old Version ??
