using the recreate database button appears to have fixed the issue.

We now also get the second notification “Your request has been successfully sent. Please wait for approval.”

I’ve found this link
https://simple-press.com/documentation/installation/upgrading/upgrading-version-4-5

But what I need now is a way of downloading the old plugin versions so I can hop from 4.3.3 to 4.5 then to v5 and then to v6. I’d be grateful if you could point me to where these files may be hosted.

Another issue I may well have is that the current webserver minimum PHP level is 7.2… In which case I’ll have to replicate the site to a dev machine with PHP 5.6 to do the upgrades. If I can get the old plugin files.

All sorted, I saw on the support threads that it was fixed. So I manually downloaded the updated zip file on the server and replaced the plugin folder.

A neater solution would be to up the version numbering, that way also those few who updated in those 10 minutes would get a notification about an updated plugin.

My review is a 5 star one, the plugin has been active for a fair while and has so far done a good job on my site. Thank you.

@wpdevart, it can be done. See here for the technique https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/How-to-use-PayPal-Archive/Redirect-to-new-URL-after-payment/td-p/15727

True you don’t have access to a user’s PayPal account but you can create a page to link back to and use the details provided to match things up and mark an event as paid. eBay, Etsy and many other do this so I doubt it’s rocket science. It just needs some effort from your side to come up with and test a working approach.

Then users need to configure their PayPal accounts correctly and the world will be a better place. If you’re concerned about this last bit then please ensure your documentation/FAQ is updated before deploying new code.

Solution for PHP7:

Replace line 253:
$match[1] = preg_replace('/(?<=^|[\x09\x20\x2D])./e', 'strtoupper("\0")', strtolower(trim($match[1])));

With:
$match[1] = preg_replace_callback('/(?<=^|[\x09\x20\x2D])./', create_function('$m','return strtoupper($m[0]);'), strtolower(trim($match[1])) );

Same problem here, likely PHP7 related.

FastCGI: server “/[…]/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi-*-443-doma.in” stderr: PHP message: PHP Warning: preg_replace(): The /e modifier is no longer supported, use preg_replace_callback instead in /[…]/wp-content/plugins/email-before-download/download.php on line 253

The above is repeated a number of times, then things break as follows:

FastCGI: comm with server “/[…]/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi-*-443-doma.in” aborted: error parsing headers: malformed header ‘: Array’

Just found the same thing. This applies to anyone with wordpress in folder rather than the web-root.

css/global-admin-styles.css:li#wp-admin-bar-WP_Spell_Check > a.ab-item, li#wp-admin-bar-WP_Spell_Check > a.ab-item:hover, li#wp-admin-bar-WP_Spell_Check > a.ab-item:active { background-image: url('/wp-content/plugins/wp-spell-check/images/logo-icon-16x16.png')!important; background-repeat: no-repeat!important; background-position: 0.15em 50%!important; padding-left: 25px!important; }

Turns out the notification editor defaults to the visual editor which removes all HTML formatting. If selecting text then navigating to themes again it will then open the notifications tab using the text editor which still shows the HTML tags.

Saving the notifications with the visual editor strips the tags.

Very cumbersome, please fix!

Have you looked under themes? You can change many default texts like “check in” and “check out” etc.

To get it to show in front you have to buy the license. Call it what you will, but that’s the way they chose to do it…

In fact,a condensed version would be great as there’s too much text to fit into the widget now.

Adding the following to “Appearance >> Edit CSS” is a quick but ugly fix for now. Please allow setting the legend font size via booking calendar theme settings.

/* Control the Booking Calendar legend font size */
.wpdevart-booking-legends > div {
	font-size: 16px;
}

Have kludged it with an Extra form for now, but it would be much better if one could apply a rule to the pricing when setting availability.

For example:
– weekdays, ￡50, 2nd person = ￡10 discount (or 1st person ￡50, additional people ￡40)
– weekends, ￡60, 2nd person = ￡15 discount

The point is that prices vary and setting rules would speed up configuring the calendar, as currently only ranges can be configured and those ranges once set can’t be edited, only overwritten.

Is there no documentation regarding best practise config for email notifications?

Evaluating the plugin but so far support seems sketchy if an email to support is all there is.

This doesn’t help others. What should be entered in the admin panel fields for emails and which method of sending emails is used?
