Upgrading to the latest version deleted all the configured hints

That’s obviously no good. Did you upgrade from a 1.5 version to the latest 1.6.42? For that upgrade, I put some measures in place to safeguard against that happening. This is the first I’ve heard of all hints being deleted upon upgrade.

Can you tell me which PHP and WP version you are using?

No, it took quite some time to set up these hints ??
I think it was from the latest of the 1.4 branch. And yes, to 1.6.42. PHP is 7.0.33 and WP is the latest.

I’m sorry that happened to you. I had checked how the upgrade process works for many PHP versions and didn’t encounter an issue.

But, on the bright side the newer version has several improvements over the older one, and I’m working on an even better version which allows users to input post specific hints, inline table hint editing, and ajax table updates.

I’m confident you should still have a ‘gktpp_table’ table in your db, if so you can copy those hints to the new table named ‘pprh_table’.

Same thing happened. All the preconfigured hints disappeared after upgrade. Unable to add new ones now. The plugin doesn’t update upon adding the new items.

This got fixed upon either updating to latest WP version or deactivating and activating the plugin again. Thank you.

@kavitas and @mommens sorry to hear the upgrade to 1.6 was a bumpy one for you two. I had to refactor the whole plugin, modify table schema, and update the file structure to support the improved version I have been working on.
This would allow inline table editing (nearly the same as “quick fix”), ajax hint updates, and a few more improvements. Would either of you care to test out this new version? You can PM me on the WP slack channel.

Deactivating and reactivating did the trick. Thanks @kavitas
