Upgrade broke my web site

  • Was 5 stars for version 1.5.1. Now 1 start for version 1.9.9.

    I upgraded the plug-in yesterday, and it broke my entire web site.

    Turns out the latest version requires PHP 5.4 and my ISP only supports PHP 5.3.28. The upgrade took down my whole site, including the WordPress Dashboard. What a pain in the a**.

    Hey @davidwoods,

    I’m really sorry to hear that this caused such an annoyance for you.

    I’d like to mention that I just published a 1.10.0 release that should fix the problems related to slideshow images not appearing and such.

    I wrote about the release a bit here → https://portfolioslideshow.com/release-1-10-0/

    As for the plugin “breaking your entire site”, this is not something I’ve heard any other reports of and indicates other issues on your site. Did any PHP errors display on your site?

    Finally, for now, PHP 5.4 is not required –?5.3 is, so it should work on your hosting environment.

    Just some thoughts –?please share more of yours here and hopefully you can find the plugin useful on your site again.

    Sincerely,
    George

    I have also had the same problem as @davidwoods.
    Following the recent upgrade (latest version 1 hr ago) my site went offline and I had to disable the plugin from my server admin panel.

    The error was 500 internal server error

    Deactivating the plugin brought the site back live again, so I guess it doesn’t like something. I also deactivated all other plugins to test and it still didn’t want to play nice.
