[Plugin: The Events Calendar] Not getting the option to migrate old posts

I’ve rolled back and tried again several times, and I still don’t get the option to migrate the posts. I also restored to an older database backup, in case a failed upgrade attempt had set some kind of flag in the database, but no matter what I do, I don’t get the option to migrate the posts.

Any clues as to why I would not be seeing that option, or how I can migrate the events another way?

Hi Meginoz. Sorry to hear you’re having issues. Were your old events from 1.6.5, or an earlier release?

Thanks roblagatta, I can’t remember what version I was on before – it would have been whatever was current in around June/July last year when I first built the site.

I ended up using the Post Type Switcher plugin to change them all over, which worked, but I had to do them all one by one – fortunately I didn’t have a huge number.

The whole upgrade has been a bit of a nightmare though – it was really like installing a whole new plugin – I lost two days of my Xmas holidays to this one site! (Not just on Event Calendar upgrade, but so many other things had fallen behind because I was waiting on the new version, then waiting for time when I could do it without disturbing the client too much.) Anyway, I think it’s sorted now – haven’t had any complaints from the client, so hopefully it’s ok!

Hey Meginoz. Thanks for the follow-up and my apologies for the inconvenience you faced during this. I know what it feels like to see full days sunk into a project and it totally sucks.

For what it’s worth, we’re improving the migration process for 2.1 to ensure any existing 1.6.5 users are still able to bring their events over. I know this is no consolation to you but hopefully it will keep others from facing the same problem.

If you have any other questions or need anything else, feel free to let us know.
