Is there no longer any way to sort products in a category? There used to be a way (it was weird and unintuitive, but at least possible) but I can’t figure it out in the 5.x.x version.

I’m unable to click on the breadcrumbs when using the “custom page – large screen” product page. I think one of the frustrating randomly-behaving blocks is covering the breadcrumbs, since they look to have proper A tags in the code.

Is there a way to reset the custom pages to “factory”? I’ve probably screwed up the “custom page – large screen” layout so badly that it may be my fault that the breadcrumbs are covered up, but I can’t figure out how to get back to something that was working.

Also the “edit product” link that used to appear when browsing the catalog while logged in as an administrator is now gone. This was super helpful.

Are we not allowed to hide products anymore? The “Product Displaying” control in the product edit page doesn’t seem to do anything, and that’s the closest thing to “hide this product” I can find. I know it used to be possible!

This upgrade seems to have crashed my site. Here’s how the past few hours have gone:

1) Uptime.com gave me a warning that the site is down. Site gives a 500 error and there is an error in Apache2’s error.log that says there’s a syntax error in Settings.class.php at line 106.

2) I fixed this error, and several similar ones in Settings.class.php and BackwardsCompatibility.class.php. Site still 500s. Error is now “Got error ‘PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function add_cap() on null in /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/ultimate-product-catalogue/ultimate-product-catalogue.php:368…”

3) I give up and install PHP7.4 which doesn’t have the syntax errors in Settings.class.php and BackwardsCompatibility.class.php. I revert my changes to those files. Still, I get the error about “add_cap()”.

4) I give up and install PHP8.0. Same issue, though I get a squawk from WordPress that it doesn’t like PHP8

5) Back to PHP7.4 and I’ve moved the plugin folder /wp-content/plugins/ultimate-product-catalogue out of the plugins folder and the site no longer 500s

Unfortunately, UPC is a fairly integral part of the site, so while it works, it is missing vital content.
