I recently upgraded my WP version to the latest (4.1.1) and today I see that there is a GeoDirectory update (I currently have version 1.2.4) to the new version 1.3.8 but my plugins page says the compatibility of the new version of GeoDirectory is UNKNOWN.

I have had issues in the past where my entire site was down for several days when I did an update to the GeoDirectory plugin (prob my personal user error somehow) and I want to avoid that issue again.

Upon hearing from GeoDirectory that 1.3.8 is compatible with WP 4.1.1 then I am assuming that I will need to deactivate all my GD plugins (I have the complete full package), update my main GD plugin, then reactivate all the other supporting GD plugins?

Is there any issues I need to be aware of with this?

Thanks, Sam Potter
FYI, I am unable to get the Attachments “Choose File” button to work so I am placing a link to the screenshot of my WPGD Plugins that need updating here via a hyperlink: http://screencast.com/t/ArZj95eL

Hello Sam, GD works well with 4.1.1.
First update GeoDirectory, then the add ons.
Since you’re coming from an old version, remember to run the GD Tools, especially the part for the DB conversion.

Hi – I’m new to Geodirectory and WordPress so would just like to also clarify in regards to updating plugins (I’m worried about updating and breaking my website!)…

I’ve recently updated to WordPress 4.1.1 and now been notified of available updates to the GD plug in (version 1.3.6 and 1.3.8) and associated add-ons. It tells me that these versions haven’t been tested with my current version of WordPress (I’m assuming that GD 1.3.8 is fine to use with 4.1.1 as noted in previous post even though the GD website only says compatible upto 4.1.0?), my questions are:

– do you need to update to v.1.3.6. first and then v.1.3.8 or can I just update straight to v.1.3.8?
– is it always necessary to update to the latest versions of plug ins and add-ons when available?
– possible silly question here (!) but when updating, do you just click on the ‘install update now’ button (so update the GD plugin first and then update the add-ons after) or is there something you need to do beforehand?

Apologies if this topic is already covered in detail elsewhere.

Thanks
