[Plugin: Slideshow Satellite] Pro / Free Accidental Upgrade Satellite

Do the upgrade again, but make sure the /pro/ directory stays inside the slideshow-satellite folder. If you reinstalled and older version of the plugin it may not have the upgraded gallery feature working right, which is really only important for the limited configuration available through that section.

Normally the pro folder should be kept during the upgrades, but if you have strong permissions saved it probably is denying the copy of the folder.

So to clarify … I should do the free upgrade again? I won’t loose the pro features?

Should I just restore the entire directory from a old backup if I can?

I did the upgrade and the pro folder is still there yet I get the following error:

No galleries found

… any idea how to get it to see the galleries? All plugins & themes are up to date

wp_satl_galleries is empty

wp_gallery_slides has all the images

I might have old sql databases …

So to confirm, trying to add a new gallery errors out? You basically need to add the number of galleries as sections you have for your slideshows. Let me know if you have luck with this, we may need to try something clever.

Actually … it simply thinks here are no galleries any more. I don’t dare add one because I don’t want to lose the images that are displaying nicely on the site despite what the plugin thinks

The slideshows and galleries are surprisingly separate from one another. Editing and adding galleries won’t effect the slideshows. Just don’t update the gallery of the slides on Manage slides ??

So how does my client add new images to the gallery and / or change the order.

Is there a way to have the too re-import them w/all the data in place?

Manage slide cannot happen right now .. that is the challenge. The backend editor thinks everything is empty

Adding new images can be done both through the gallery uploaded or adding image slide by slide on the manage slides page. All the old images will still be there so there shouldn’t be a “reimport” need.

Are you getting an error on the manage slides page? I’d like to see it if possible.

If adding galleries work I would just create a bunch of blanks, as many as there were previously, that may fix the problem!

The other option would (sadly) be adding them to wp-satl-galleries table in your WordPress db.

What would happen if I created new galleries? Would I loose all the images from the original galleries before the tables were destroyed? Do you have a sample wp-satl-galleries that I could hack and upload to sql?

You won’t lose functionality of your slideshows if you create new galleries. Your slideshows are based off the slides not the galleries so deleting galleries won’t automatically take out the visibility of the slideshow since the slide will still have that gallery # on it.

Here is what the table should look like btw:
