Updating from 1.6.5 to 1.6.7 – not good !

    2 years, 7 months ago

    Setup: Xampp Localhost, php 7.4.x, Chrome, Custom made FSE theme – Woocommerce.

    With V1.6.5 the filters worked fine. Updating to v1.6.7 the filters stopped showing up on the front end. I noticed that at least one setting in the Settings page got blanked, that was the “CSS id or class of the Posts Container” setting, the vars were there, the filters were there but nothing kept showing up on the front, even though I added the correct Contianer Class again.

    I have to admit that I did not spend more than 5 minutes to try to figure out what’s going on, or try to recreate a new set of filters – which is ridiculous if we have to do that with every update. As this was a dev. site, and I do backups on a nightly basis, it was not a big deal.

    Before doing a whole site restore from the previous night, I simply replaced v1.6.7 with v.1.6.5 and things are back to normal. I have some guesses (and they are just guesses) to what’s happening here, but without testing and verification it would be unfair to speculate. On a new testing site I will try to see if the filters work at all with fresh filters, or this issue only occurs with existing filters. I’ll report back in a few hours…

    Update: I created a new testing site at instawp. Setup the same theme, Woocommerce, and filter everything v1.6.7. I set things up correctly, but the filter never appeared on the front end. I simply replaced v1.6.7 with v1.6.5 and the filter magically appeared.

    So I have to conclude that this new update does not work, as the filter did not appear on the front end on existing and new filters.

    I have to stick with v1.6.5 until this is fixed…

    Hello @nick6352683

    Thank you for your report.

    It looks like you have some element which is incompatible with v1.6.7 of the plugin in your server/site configuration. I just tested it once more on clean WP + Storefront theme and it works as usual.

    Maybe in your custom theme you use some function that was deleted in the latest plugin version. What is the error message in your case?

    For you, it looks like I have some element which is incompatible with v1.6.7. Yes, I agree, the incompatible element is the FSE theme, to be exact, ANY FSE theme.

    I made a video, where I am using an unedited version of Twenty Twenty-Two, which is a FSE theme, as opposed to the Storefront that you tested with…

    With V.6.5, there are no issues with both themes. Simply updating the plugin to v.1.6.7, the Storefront theme is fine, but the Filter never shows up when Twenty Twenty-Two is active.

    My conclusion is that since NOTHING is changed except this plugin’s code, it’s this plugin that causes the issue, and not the theme or some other plugin. Furthermore, because my custom made FSE theme does not work with the latest version of this plugin, also the same with the Twenty Twenty-Two, I can almost in all certainly say that v1.6.7 is not compatible with any FSE (block) theme.

    Here is a video proof that all is fine with v.1.6.5, and Storefront is fine after updating to v.1.6.7, but all falls apart with the Twenty Twenty-Two theme, by just updating this plugin.

    Thank you for your report. I see the problem on my side, I’m checking it.

    Thank you… I am guessing this issue is also present in the Pro version… I need to buy a license to be used along side a FSE theme.

    Hello @nick6352683

    I’m glad to inform you that the issue is already solved and you can update plugin to the version 1.6.8. The same update was done for the PRO version also.

    Yeah, it’s only fair, I’m on it… if you were expecting a one star rating from me, you will be disappointed though !
