Upgrading from Mark Jaquith's version

Hello @lucashall,

There is a function on the plugin to Import the subscriptions of Subscribe To Comments.

You only have to install Subscribe to Comments Reloaded and then go to Settings > Subscribe to Comments Reloaded and you have to see the subscriptions.

Take notice that StCR does not delete your subscriptions from Subscribe to Comments.

Please let me know if you have any issue.

Thanks!

Very useful info, thanks Reedyseth. I need to move a site to this plugin from the legacy one. I’m curious if you or anyone else has a suggestion for transitioning. I imagine it looks something like:

1. deactivate StC
2. install StCR and activate
3. import old settings into StCR
4. uninstall StC

What’s the best way to remove the old StC data? Will those subscriptions continue if the old plugin is un-installed?

Thanks for any insight!

Hi @reedyseth

Thanks for helping me out a little while ago.

I was using the plugin, but then received emails from visitors saying they couldn’t unsubscribe.

I turned it off for a while, and reverted back to using Mark Jaquith’s original version.

Then, a month later, I updated your plugin, and it’s now working great. However, I have about 200 new subscriptions on the original plugin version that were added after I reverted back to the original plugin. When re-activating/updating the Reloaded plugin, those were not imported.

Basically,
1. I was using MJ’s version
2. Upgraded to Reloaded, all subscriptions imported great
3. Unsubscribe wasn’t working, so I deactivated Reloaded
4. Went back to using MJ’s version for a month
5. Updated Reloaded, and it works great now
6. I’m missing all new subscriptions that came in during that month.

How do I fix it?

Thanks in Advance!

@lucashall,

For this I think we will have to work directly with the database. Is the a way that you can create a database backup and send it to me? or I can just ask you here on the topic to run some queries.

@reedyseth:

In this scenario can we do the following to force the migration again:

Disable the plugin
Drop wp_subscribe_reloaded_subscribers
DELETE FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key LIKE ‘\_stcr@\_%’
Set wp_options -> subscribe_reloaded_subscriber_table to no
Set wp_options -> subscribe_reloaded_data_sanitized to no
Reenable the plugin to force the data to migrate to the new table format.

I ran this on our production dataset on a staging host and it appears to have filled the gap, but I’d love to know if I’m missing something here.

@tas50,

That solution will be when the subscriptions are already on the postmeta table. On this case @lucashall needs the subscriptions from MJ plugin into StCR.
