    Hi,
    I am just trying to convert my site from GDV1 to GDV2 and followed all steps described very carefully.

    Back up site and database – check
    Back up all individual css – check
    Create staging area – check
    Deactivate all non-GD-plugins – check
    On FTP all GDV1 plugins into backup file – check
    On FTP all GDV1 themes into back file – check

    Now I am re-entering the staging area and the description says I shall follow the prompts from the GD converter. But there are no prompts of any GD Converter at all.

    What have I missed?
    Best regards
    Birgit

    Oh, and of course I have extracted and uploaded all GDV2 themes and plugins on the FTP Server. Check.

    If GDV2 is in the /plugins directory, then go ahead and activate and you will then see the converter info.

    Hi Alex,

    If by /plugins directory you mean my ftp server clickandbuilds/mydomain/wp-content/plugins

    Yes, all GDV2 plugins are in there and all GDV1 plugins are shiftet to
    clickandbuilds/mydomain/wp-content/plugins/backup.

    If you mean the plugin directory in the wpstaging area https://mydomain/pmw-staging/wp-admin/plugins.php

    No, only the GDV1 versions of all plugins are in there. I think I have read in the documentation, that I should not upload and activate the GDV2 plugins via this WP admin surface but only via ftp server.

    And when I try to open the wp admin area of my normal (non-staging) domain, I am getting a fatal error message.

    What went wrong?

    I mean following the steps outlined here:
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/geodirectory/installation/#convert

    If you are receiving a fatal error, please tell us the site status, then provide WP Admin and FTP info so we can take a look.

    Hi,

    The errors are due to the caching plugin you have used which modifies the advanced-cache.php file located in the wp-content folder. So you have used the GD Booster plugin which modified this file but you have deactivated that plugin which caused an error. I have a disabled cache from the wp-config.php file and the errors are not showing now. Please review it and let me know if any queries.

    Regards,
    Patrik

    Hi Patrik,
    ok, yes, thank you – I think GDV2 is running now – many thanks for this.
    Though I am totally not happy with the massive changes in appearance of surpreme directory theme, but will place my many questions in an extra post.

    Thank you so far
    Birgit
