Breaking changes in 27.6.1

I just upgraded from 25.1.7 to 27.6.1 and loads of my site became unusable (now restored from backup).

For example the top banner (https://www.hiretracknx.com/)

moved right from the normal central position to a new column right of this (though the same vertical position)


Similarly the page https://www.hiretracknx.com/product-introduction/hiretrack-nx/ & https://www.hiretracknx.com/product-introduction/hiretrack-nx/ were compressed in to a narrow right hand column.


Any suggestions as to what the cause & fix may be please ?


Cheers

David

  • Hi,

    Please create a copy of your website with the duplicator plugin on a staging domain, update Betheme there, and send a link to it, so we can see the issues you describe.

    Hi

    I've tried to use updraft pro - temp clone feature, which clones the site to their server for testing etc (https://vw3jtqfzdy1.c.updraftclone.com/)

    However when I try to upgrade the clone's theme I get the following error - is this because of a licensing issue or something else ?

    If it's a licensing issue, is there a work around please (I've changed the code in the URL below)?

    Updating Theme Betheme (1/1)

    Downloading update from https://api.muffingroup.com/theme/download.php?code=3769c979-xxxx-xxxx-9647-453b15002836…

    Unpacking the update…

    Installing the latest version…

    Theme update failed.

    An error occurred while updating Betheme: The package could not be installed. The package contains no files.

  • Indeed, it is a license problem because your domain does not follow the pattern for staging domains.

    Please see the article I have in my previous message.


    Thanks

  • ah. Thanks.

    I'll try and move it to a domain that meets your requirements, but that involves someone else to help me.

    Could I request that you add updraftclone.com to your whitelisted domains in the future please. Being able to create a temp copy of the site with one button press from within the Wordpress admin console makes life so much simpler.

  • Do you have any better instructions than simply a link to the Duplicator plug-in please. I don't want to spend money to buy a plug in simply to demonstrate a problem with the Theme. Furthermore their documentation doesn't seem to cover restoring to a different domain.

    Can you not, for instance, issue a temp license that I can use on the updraftclone site to demonstrate the issue please ?

  • 1) There are plenty of tutorials online showing how to use this plugin. Here is one of them for example:

    2) We cannot do that because we do not handle licenses in such a way, and Envato is in charge of it.


    Best regards
