Sympathy

Version 4.0.3 clearly has some problems and I guess we are all waiting for 4.1 in the hope that most if not all are resolved. I have some sympathy with the developers as they are faced with thousands of users who will be using different versions of PHP, possibly different versions of WordPress, a myriad of themes and pagebuilders and the need to satisfy everyone’s inventive workarounds from version 3.

For myself I have converted all my galleries and albums on three sites to the new blocks and found an adequate way to define widgets via shortcodes. Now that I have deleted the massive error logs resulting from the change, I am now free of those errors and I can relax a bit more. That isn’t going to be a tractable option for those with huge numbers of galleries.

Looking at the variety of issues raised recently, I have shared experience of some but I can’t replicate some others. Just another problem for the developers trying to suit everyone. I do have a suspicion that there are some options which I set in v3 eg, caption view, but which are not now explicitly offered in v4 and which may get disrupted if legacy features are removed. I have to wait and hope.
