I was trying to upgrade from EE 3 to 4/5 because I have updated my PHP version. Original version 3 plugin was deactivated. Downloaded the latest Core files from EE, uploaded them and activated the new version of the plugin. The pages on my site with shortcodes changed to the Maintenance Mode message but I don’t have a menu for EE to complete the migration. I have tried deactivating and reactivating and checked that my PHP memory_limit is set at 512M. Any advice to complete the upgrade and get it working again?

Can you navigate to WordPress > Settings > Permalinks and then see if the menu shows up? Perhaps even just save or update the page and see if the menu shows up.
That helps to flush the permalinks…

Hi there,
Please update to the latest version and see if this issue is still present.
If you go to {domain}/wp-admin/admin.php?page=espresso_maintenance_settings&action=data_reset
Can you see something like this?
https://monosnap.com/file/MkzhoedKO4LGuE6Ondz5KWHHOQypf9
Its the ‘Reset Event Espresso Capabilities’ option you need here, NOT the others.
If you can see something like the above click on ONLY the ‘Reset Event Espresso Capabilities’ button, does that fix it?
If you can’t see the above, what do you see?

Hmmm, can I take a look at this?
I’ll need both WP admin and FTP credentials to dig into it a little and get this fixed for you.
If that’s just send them over using this form:

Thank you, so for some reason on your site installing EE5 directly prevented the permissions from being added onto your account which then put you in a loop of not being able to access EE (which is why it didn’t show).
I’ve installed 4.10.46 which correctly set up the permissions and EE now shows in the menu. I’ve opened a ticket with our developers to investigate that further and see what we can find.
If you run through the migrations using the version currently installed and then update to the latest version of EE it should work from this point on.

Hi there,
Which page is this happening on?

the calendar page of my website – http://www.paintingandpinot.com/classes
it is now populating in a very weird list format – not an actual calendar

the calendar page of my website
So that’s using the /classes/ slug, which is the same as what your events are using.
EE4 works differently to EE3 and events are custom post types within WordPress, which means they have their own ‘slug’.
http://www.paintingandpinot.com/classes
No longer displays a ‘page’ it displays an archive or EE event posts and uses your site’s theme to output an event list.
If you want /classes/ to be a page with the calendar shortcode on it, that can be done but the events need to use a different slug than ‘classes’, so single event outputs like this:
http://paintingandpinot.com/classes/open-class-flower-jug-4/
(Yes, I know the format is off, that’s an issue with your theme which we’ll move on to next)
Would need to change to
http://paintingandpinot.com/{something}/open-class-flower-jug-4/
What would you prefer that was? Some people use a ee- some use something else like paint-classes.

ee works
So, do I have to change this for all events?

So, next question – how do I change “classes” to “ee”? I see where I can change the “open-class-flower-jug-4” but not how to change “classes”

I found where to change the slug to “ee”
It didn’t change anything

It didn’t change anything?
http://paintingandpinot.com/classes/
Now loads a page with an image and is using the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode. If you want the calendar to load on that page change tat shortcode to [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR].
While it may not seem like much that’s a significant change in how its working in the background.

That was just a graphic I had put there as a temporary measure. As of right now, ee is populating a blank calendar.

You currently have the EE3 version of the Calendar add-on installed.
None of the EE3 add-ons work with EE4, you’ll need the EE4 version:

Did you install the plugin? after the installation, you can use the shortcode for the calendar.

Ok – it is installed now. What do I need to do to have the registration pages show up correctly – it was mentioned earlier that the “theme” was off

Another issue is that it is taking the calendar about 10 seconds to load. That is a long time!

Ok, I’m now seeing that the calendar is loading ALL historical data to be visible. That must be what is taking so long. How do I change that and only have it show the current date forward?

You can disable the old event. By using the correct parameter.
[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR show_expired=false]
Here’s the list of shortcode.
