Hi,
I performed the update. All fields in the new column are displaying as Null. The new tables are created but the old remains and nothing populates.
I have sent you a screen shot via email.
Yes when first created NULL is exactly what it should be.
I can replicate a correct upgrade of PM every time on your database at this end. But it does require the database to be the original, un-upgraded V4 database which has first the SP upgrade and then PM activated.
By the way – thanks to your database I have also corrected at least one of the issues that was creating the permissions corruption which will be supplied in the next SP update (5.4.2) – so I thank you for that and very much appreciate being given the opportunity.
Okay. I would like to test this in local first to see it myself before upgrading the live version. What is the best way to roll simple press back to 4.5.3 and start the process again.
Also is there anything I can do to prevent the permissions issue prior to upgrading?
Did you have to install simple press 4.3.5 on an old version of wordpress because at the moment it is taking a long time to install.

Why would you need to? Just swap in the old backup database…

No _ I don’t really see the point. if you install this all you are going to do is delete it again to replace it with the V5 plugin. The only thing that matters is the database. V5.4.1 of SP and the old V4 database – then upgrade.
Hi everything worked well. Only one issue now. The inbox button still shows 0 even though there are messages in there any idea of a fix for this?
All fields for attachment id still have null as a value but the messages are in the new table
attachment_id will be null as I said before. It is supposed to bre null until you start using and including attachments which you could not do in V4.
As to the inbox count – do you mean you know that you had unread PMs but the count is zero?
I have no unread pm’s I thought it showed the inbox quantity not quantity of unread messages.
Ah no – same as it always was – a notification that you have new, unread messages.
Okay I am new to this forum took over from someone else. Thanks for all the help.
