Wordpress v4.1 EE4.6.4

After upgrade to latest version I’m getting this message:
Note: in this version of Event Espresso, PDF and HTML Invoices and Receipts are now Messages and can be changed just like any other messages; however we noticed you had previously overriden the old default Invoice/Receipt templates. Because of this, your old Invoice/Receipt templates will continue to be used INSTEAD of the new Invoice/Receipt message equivalents (but this will be removed in an upcoming version). We recommend deleting your old Invoice/Receipt templates and using the new messages system. Then modify the new Invoice and Receipt messages’s content in Messages -> Invoice and Messages -> Receipt.

I have some functions I’m using to change some text for the Process Payment button and the Invoice selection text – is that what I need to remove? I have also made some modifications to some of the files in the backend in regards to payments and checkouts – do I need to remove these files too?

I don’t see the new section under Messages for Invoices and Messages – will this only appear when I have removed my modifications?

The messages should be within the list already, this allows you to modify them before switching over.

If you go to Event Espress -> Messages.

You’ll see a list of active message types, within there you should have an Invoice and Receipt message type, like this – http://take.ms/B3LEl

Clicking on the Purchaser context will allow you to modify the Invoice template.

I have some functions I’m using to change some text for the Process Payment button and the Invoice selection text – is that what I need to remove?

You should not no, it is more the actualy PDF templates that you would download that have changed. However if you can provide more details on this I can advise further.

I have also made some modifications to some of the files in the backend in regards to payments and checkouts – do I need to remove these files too?

This depends on what’s been changed. What files have you changed?

The Invoice/Receipt templates that message is referring to will be within:

/wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates/modules/gateways/Invoice/lib/templates/

Those are customised templates and will be used until removed (or EE updates), to switch to the new system you can remove them, or currently I recommend renaming ‘modules’ to ‘modules-temp’ (or another other than just modules)

This will de-active the old templates and allow you to test your customisations, then if you need to re-enabled them, just rename ‘modules-temp’ back to ‘modules’ again. This will only work in 4.6.X.

Does that make more sense now? Please let me know if I can expand any further.
