    Hi Support,

    RE: Fail to Upgrade from GeoDirectory Version 1.6.38 to Version 2.0.0.57

    We ran test updates following steps from your website on https://cisc.catholicindependentschools.com

    We disabled all other plugins except GeoDirectory prior to the steps below.

    Route Taken to Update
    1. Uploaded the GDv2 folder calling this ‘geodirectory2’
    2. Deactivated GDv1 in Plugins on the backend, pages on the front end only loads partically.
    3. Renamed the folder containing GDv1 to ‘geodirectory1’ and the folder containing GDv2 to ‘geodirector2’.
    4. Activated GDv2 in Plugins on the backend

    Upon activation we lost access to the front and backend with a 503 error (Service Temporarily Unavailable).

    Changed the name of the folders and was able to return to GDv1 with access to both front and backend.

    The site works normally with GDv1 but we just couldn’t upgrade to GDv2.

    Please help.

    Hi Samuel,

    Thanks for your reply. I can’t seem to update/remove the GDv2 core plugin manually. Could you share your FTP host so that I could check your server files? In the meantime, please make sure that you’ve backup everything.

    I will restore the test site with files and database from the live site and try again. I will let you know when it is ready.

    Hi Kor,

    We found the problem.

    We used a wp admin login page redirect to gd login.

    
add_filter( 'login_url', 'my_login_page', 10, 2 );
function my_login_page( $login_url, $redirect ) {
    return geodir_login_url();
}

    in functions.php

    This caused the backend to break when we upgrade and the front end to behave differently.

    Hi Kor,

    We have successfully upgrade to GeoDirectory 2.0.0.59 on our test site here https://cisc.catholicindependentschools.com/

    But, the Search and Advance Search Function is again broken. We re-activated the Snippet added by Stiofan to fix the GD Search but that didn’t help.

    I have left the Snippet in so you can review it.

    The GD menu options are found in the footer navigation/below:

    SEARCH: https://cisc.catholicindependentschools.com/search/
    LOCATION: https://cisc.catholicindependentschools.com/membership/members-area/location/
    PLACES: https://cisc.catholicindependentschools.com/places/

    Pls let us know if there is anything else you need.

    Hello Samuel,

    Please check now search page is working fine.

    There was conflict with field names. You have custom field with name “type” which is conflicting during search. In search CPT is searched by stype=gd_place and custom field searched by stype=xxx.

    I have renamed field name “type” to “custom_type” to fix this conflicts.

    Let us know.

    Regards,
    Kiran

    Hi Kiran,

    Thank you for this.

    We have tested the “custom_type” field in the search but it did not show any result.

    It works on the live site which is still running GD v1 https://www.catholicindependentschools.com/find-a-school/https://www.catholicindependentschools.com/find-a-school/

    For the TEST site (link below) I have updated GeoDirectory to 2.0.0.62 and GD Location Manager to 2.0.0.18 but still cannot filter search by Nursery, Pre-Prep, Prep, Secondary, Sixth or Special which use to work in GD v1.

    https://cisc.catholicindependentschools.com/search

    When using Advanced Search and choosing one of the checkboxes: Nursery, Pre-Prep, Prep, Secondary, Sixth or Special, no search results were shown.
