Title: Version 4 Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Version 4 * ResolvedPlugin Author [Vova](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gn_themes/) * (@gn_themes) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-4-5/) * Version 4 is incompatible wit 3.x. This is fact and there is no working solutions at this moment. * If you have broken shortcodes, you need to re-generate it with Generator (Insert shortcode button). * If you want to use old version, you can download it [here](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/shortcodes-ultimate.3.9.5.zip). * If you have troubles with compatibility mode prefixes, please read [this article](http://gndev.info/kb/migrating-from-3-x-to-4-x/). * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcodes-ultimate/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcodes-ultimate/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * [clarke2013](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clarke2013/) * (@clarke2013) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-4-5/#post-4132551) * Thank you for this Vladimir Anokhin * [Wil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/limecanvas/) * (@limecanvas) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-4-5/#post-4132560) * Bummer – but thanks for the update * [apanciuc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apanciuc/) * (@apanciuc) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-4-5/#post-4132741) * THANK YOU VLADIMIR! BRILLIANT! TONES OF PAGES WITH THE OLD SHORTCODE ) * [georgetowncollege](https://wordpress.org/support/users/georgetowncollege/) * (@georgetowncollege) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-4-5/#post-4132745) * I have to say, I like the new interface that is in version 4.x. Very nicely done on that part. * Will 4.x eventually be updated to become compatible with version 3.x? I’d like to make the upgrade without having to recode old shortcodes. * [jaoden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaoden/) * (@jaoden) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-4-5/#post-4132746) * Yes it’s a good solution… if not i’ll do a roolback * [ttkove](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ttkove/) * (@ttkove) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-4-5/#post-4132768) * I’m sorry, but I didn’t like this update AT ALL. Frames don’t work, the nicest spoiler style doesn’t work (or accordition). This one doesn’t work properly in the old version (which I redownloaded, thanks) because it’s missing the dot before the title of the spoiler. Can this be fixed please? I was perfectly happy with the old version, but it isn’t even working properly anymore after the new one. * [terrazzor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/terrazzor/) * (@terrazzor) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-4-5/#post-4132776) * Hello Vladimir, * unfortunately, the new added line at the theme’s function file: * **update_option(‘su_compatibility_mode_prefix’, ‘gn_’);** * doesn’t work. I have too many shortcodes to changes on my numerous websites. * [Sheila](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sheilahoff/) * (@sheilahoff) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-4-5/#post-4132807) * It would’ve been nice to have had a WARNING so we wouldn’t upgrade. This’ll be great for new sites but I have 15 installs of this that were automatically updated before I knew it breaks everything. I had to remove and downgrade all of them. Even the latest version that’s supposed to fix a lot of this still doesn’t make my old stuff look right. All custom CSS is lost. PITA! Too bad. I’ve sent out warnings to our local WP Meetup group and other colleagues. This should’ve been released as a new plug-in and not overwritten what was working perfectly well. * My question is if there’s any security harm in leaving the old version in place long term. Is there any chance you’ll make an update that will transfer everything correctly so we don’t have to manually fix every install? * [myroxie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/myroxie/) * (@myroxie) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-4-5/#post-4132814) * Well! What a shock to receive an alert from a colleague that the plugin was incompatible with WordPRess! I have just spent hours rolling a bunch of sites back to 3.9.5. On one of them I had made substantial changes to both the CSS (lost) and had edited a couple of the icon images (also lost). Then I got the bright idea to find a pre-upgrade backup and pull out the edited images to upload to the 4.X plugin, but the structure has so totally changed that there was no longer an images folder to upload them to. * Problem is, if there is no chance of making a graceful transition to the new version, then it doesn’t sound like a great plan to keep a (aging) plugin that could cause problems. But if I upgrade I’ll lose all my styling changes.
