Hi scooter1,
As we said in another post,
We are really sorry you had to re-create your pricing tables after the update. We understand how annoying it can be. The reason for all this is that we changed something in our code that was important for the future of this plugin.
Next updates will NOT destroy anything that you are doing now, we promise you that.
Also we tried to warn our users by writing something in the Changelog. Before updating a plugin you can always click the “View Details” button to find out what the new version will bring to the plugin.
For version 3.0 of the Responsive Pricing Table plugin it said:
“WARNING: FOR THOSE WHO UPGRADE FROM AN EARLIER VERSION TO THIS VERSION, YOU WILL NEED TO RE-CREATE YOUR PRICING TABLES!”
Sorry for the inconvenience.

This just sucks… I’ve spent the last couple hours trying to find my ‘plugin’.
While I know it’s not good practice I keep a couple of duplicate plugins installed but not activated.
I just came across my tables not working and went looking for the problem. I go for my plugins and notice only 1 tables plugin but it’s not activated. I activate it and the tables are gone. (I too am just after an update)
I create a dummy table, to get the short code to verify that this is the plugin that I was using…because some weird crap is going on here when all of a sudden there isn’t an active table plugin. And the one I did have used a different short code.
I go for the table short code and it’s…. [rpt name=”special-mods-for-special-children”]
The short code I have in my page is [dk_pricing name=”special-mods-for-special-children”]
Am I going batty and I’m confusing this plugin with another? Did you change the short code?
If so I’ve also got quite a bit of css to change also.
Plus it was translated…
If I’m wrong about this, anybody got any clue which pricing plugin I was using? This is too weird for me to get my head around and I can’t find what I need.
Hi NES,
We are sorry for the inconvenience, we already answered this above and in earlier posts.
The shortcode changed, as you noticed, as well as many things in the code, this is why we named it 3.0 instead of 2.4. This means it’s a major update.
We needed to change certain things in order to maintain the plugin in the future. As I said before, it is all in the changelog (see below):
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/dk-pricr-responsive-pricing-table/changelog/
When updates require you to re-create the pricing tables, we put a warning at the top. A good practice is too always backup your plugins and data when updating.
Also, checking the changelog will allow you to know what the update is about.
Regarding the stylesheet, only the prefix changes (rpt_), a simple Find & Replace should do the job.
Let me know if I can help you with anything else.

Is there a way to recover and go back to the old version from a cpanel backup?
I had long descriptions written and everything. This is SOO hurting me right now.
Anyone?
Hi NES,
Sure, you’ll need to delete your current version of the plugin (which I suppose is 3.0 or 3.1) and replace it with this one (2.3):
https://downloads.wp.xz.cn/plugin/dk-pricr-responsive-pricing-table.2.3.zip
Your data should still be in the database so installing version 2.3 should work.
Let me know how it goes.

Hey NES:
If you’ve had the plugin active for a while (1-2 months) try using the WayBack Machine http://archive.org/web/ and hopefully it captured your site so you can retrieve the data. Either way, you’ll still need to rebuild the tables…
A good practice is to make the changes and tell WayBack Machine to capture your site so you have a “fresh” capture of it.
