Upgrading loses existing testimonials | ww.wp.xz.cn

i just took over site maintenance for a new client.

When I upgraded to the latest version of the plugin all of the testimonials disappeared in the back end?

I’ve reverted to the older version that worked. (Version 0.2.1)

Any idea as to why this would happen? Yes, I am aware of the vast version difference.

Crlannen, Your plugin version 0.2.1 is way behind the current released version which is 3.2.0 . Testimonials Widget 3.0 is a major overhaul without backwards compliance of over 80 changes. Please read the link below for the changes and helpers intended to help you update quickly.

Crlannen, At this point, please deactivate and delete Testimonials Widget. Then install and activate https://downloads.wp.xz.cn/plugin/testimonials-widget.2.19.9.zip. This will migrate your 0.2.1 code to the 2.0 format.

Afterward, update to Testimonials Widget 3.2.0 as normal or via installing https://downloads.wp.xz.cn/plugin/testimonials-widget.3.2.0.zip directly.

Thanks! I’ll do it later today or tomorrow. Nothing like inheriting a site that’s not been kept up-to-date.
