    Good Morning

    I have followed the instructions to upgrade my site http://www.attractionsnearme.co.uk to GEO Directory v2 but after I upgraded the GEO directory core plugin, it is showing 500 Error. Internal Server Error.

    Please can you assist me.

    Many Thanks, Dan

    Hello

    I have gone on to my FTP server and reverted the GEODirectory plugin to V1 which has brought my website back online, but I will require some support to establish what caused the upgrade to fail.

    Many Thanks

    Hi Dan,

    Thanks for your post. You need to disable all GDV1 plugins and themes before replacing your plugins with GDv2 version https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/geodirectory/upgrade-from-gdv1/ . Make sure that you’ve downloaded the correct versions of the plugin and themes. https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/geodirectory/installation/#version

    Hi Kor

    I followed the guide. First I backed up my site, Geo Directory custom css etc and then I disabled all caching applications. Following that, I disabled all GEO Directory related plugins and themes. The only difference is, I clicked the button in WordPress to do the plugin update. I would presume that this is where I have gone wrong, I will try again using the zip file for version 2 and confirm whether or not this works.

    Many thanks
    Dan

    Hi Kor
    I traced what was causing the 500 Error. Internal Server Error following my 1st attempt at the upgrade. It may be worth adding this to your guide as it may assist other users. In my theme functions.php, I had a line of code which redirects the login page to the Deo Directory login page.

    /* Redirects the Login page */
    add_filter( ‘login_url’, ‘my_login_page’, 10, 2 );
    function my_login_page( $login_url, $redirect ) {
    return geodir_login_url();
    }

    By removing this piece of code, I have now successfully upgraded GeoDirectory to version 2. I am just waiting for my site to pick up the associated plugin upgrades but this is taking a long time, is there a way to upgrade them manually?

    Many Thanks
    Dan

    Hi Dan,

    Thanks for your reply and I’m glad that you sorted it out yourself. Yes, you can download all GDv2 plugins manually here https://wpgeodirectory.com/your-account/ and replace it manually. https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/geodirectory/installation/#version

    Hi Kor

    I manually upgraded all my GEO Directory plugins, converted my database and all is working great.
    Many thanks for answering my queries.
