    This morning I went ahead and updated GD to the latest version. I have been looking forward to the update for some time. But when the update was complete and I viewed the site things went horribly wrong. This is really bad news considering I was planning on soft launching the site this weekend, as we have an event coming up next week where we will be promoting the site 🙁

    I am using the GeoDirectory Framework theme (the child theme to be precise) and noticed there was an update for that as well. So I applied it. This solved a couple of the problems, but I am still overwhelmed by the amount of work it will take to get the site back to the way it was before updating.

    Below are a list of issues that I have identified and have been unable to find a solution for. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! The url to the dev site is dev.liberty.menu.

    1. Main content width: On the homepage I had it set up to be a single column (no side sections). Even though my settings are the same the main content section is aligned to the left and it has the space for a column on the right.

    2. None of my listing pages that I have set up work (Had just 2 events so far). Shows Epic 404 message. But the dummy content listings still work. **UPDATE** While writing this post and testing various things on the site they have disappeared entirely. They are still accessible from the back end though.

    3. All my widget areas defaulted to the way they were prior to me setting them up. I can fix this obviously, but it is worth mentioning.

    4. “My Dashboard” Dropdowns are missing.

    5. The listing page map is out in the Pacific ocean, not at the location of the listing.

    If I find more things that have gone wonky I’ll post them. PLEASE help admins, I can’t afford to loose any more hair.

    Hi,

    did you try clearing you browser cache?

    I did not, until your reply. But it did not have any effect.

    did you customize your css before updating?

    Do you have the same problems if you activate the core GDF theme?

    If you don’t provide a link to your website it will be very hard for us to assist you… you can keep it invisible to all members but moderators by flagging the reply as private.

    Thx

    I know when i updated, things were a little wonky – but going into the settings page and clicking save seemed to fix it – maybe worth a try before you dig any deeper?

    I did customize the CSS prior to updating, but it was in the “quick code” section of GDF Options. I did not lose any of that css during the update.

    I have not yet tried switching from the child to the core theme. I suppose it’s worth a shot.

    The url was provided in my original post above. It is dev.liberty.menu.

    John – Is that the standard WP settings page you are referring to, or one of the GD settings pages? I have been fiddling with the site for hours trying to get it back to normal. I think I’ve been through just about every page in the back end to check settings… but to no avail.

    ops sorry, I missed the link.

    I think I’ll also need wp admin credentials in order to actually see your settings.

    As far as old css changes goes, that could be part of the problem because we totally rewritten GD templates and css classes have changed.

    I’m sorry to announce you this, we would have avoided doing it, if we could, but to achieve what we wanted and for the long term benefit of all members, we really had no choice…

    The rest I’m sure is a matter of settings.

    Let me know,

    My first port of call would be to click save on one of the Geodirectory options pages, and re-save your permalinks in settings>permalinks (you don’t need to change them, just go in and click save).
    Not saying it will help in your case, but it’s quick and easy, so there’s no reason not to try…

    I think username or password are wrong…

    1 seems to be a bug, I reported it to Stiofan and Vikas for feedback, the home page design settings are not behaving as they should at all. Thanks for spotting it…

    all the rest is due to all addons not being updated.

    Go to Dashbaord updates and update all addons to their latest version.

    Another big wave of problems will disappear.

    Than we will see how to fix what’s left.

    Thx

    Ok I updated all the add-ons but nothing has changed. In fact, now when I select “events” from the search drop down or from the “View All” link on the latest events widget on the home page it tells me there are no listings found. At least before it was showing the dummy content events on the archive page. Yikes!

    No the events page was giving 404, so we did one step further.

    Your events had no category, I added one, let me see now what’s the problem.
