Hi

Is there a document that can help me upgrade our  3.0.19.b.13 version to latest? Thank you in advance.

Wordpress version: 3.2.1

Event Espresso version:  3.0.19.b.13

This is not a new installation. The website is http://myhmec.com/ but the registration is not currently turned ON.

Hi Srinivas,

There really isn’t an update path from 3.0.19.b.13 to the current version. What you could do is export the database from PHPmyAdmin, or even clone the current site onto a test server for reference. Then the tables that start with wp_events can be dropped and the new version with its add-ons can be installed. The manual update instructions can be found here:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/updating-event-espresso/#update_manually

You could also try the update on a cloned version of the site to see what happens, the update would most likely work, but some of the older event data would likely not be accessible from the new version’s admin.

Hi

We don’t have much here for me to preserve, so I can go ahead and delete everything and start over. I deleted all the old plugins, removed the “_events%” tables and tried reinstalling but ran into problems as no “tables” are being created after activating the plugin in WordPress. And I see some kind of “cached” information that I know for sure shouldn’t be seen – for example all the old payment information that I should have been able to reenter now is being seen. Can you point me to what else I can do to start a fresh-new-install so I can carry forward? Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

Payment information actually gets stored within the wp_options table. So that’s probably what you’re seeing there. If you look in the wp_options table you’ll see other settings from Event Espresso, they’ll have a value like%..% ‘event’ in the option_name.

Hi Josh

Should I clean up these rows as well, before reactivating the plugin?

When you update Event Espresso, it will update any of the existing options that the new version uses. Since you had some payment settings stored from the old version, the new version will use those. You can remove the data from those rows if you’d prefer to re-enter them.

DO I simply delete every option that starts with “event_espresso”? The problem, I am having is that when I install the Plugin, it doesn’t create any tables and wondering if these options are causing that issue.

These options are from the newer version and they are gateway settings. These wouldn’t prevent tables from being created. However, if you have the current version installed and the espresso_db_update option value is set to the current version of Event Espresso, it will not create the tables needed for Event Espresso to run.

You could try either removing the espresso_db_update option_value -or- change the version number in espresso.php to something like 3.1.33.3.P.1 on lines 9 and 35 of event-espresso/espresso.php.

Thank you, Josh. That was the obstacle I had to overcome… Now I am on my way to setting up the event and see how that goes. As always you are there to save me :-). Appreciate it.
