Do the old categories even get created?
I think they got created but none of the events were assigned to them. Sorry I haven’t had time to do much testing lately, I’ll try to update on my dev box and let you know if I have any problems.
“1. I have seven categories in EM 4 and when running some test upgrades to EM 5 the categories are being randomly assigned to events different than they were in EM 4. For example, an event in EM 4 that was “Entertainment” only now has “Outdoor” and “Featured” also assigned to it. Any thoughts as to why this is happening?”
I’m having pretty much the same issues, but all of my events were moved to a new category “uncategorized” and now the events widget doesn’t show events because it can’t reference the category id.
