1.8 BETA IS AVAILABLE NOW

Everyone is welcome to help beta test version 1.8!

Just remember that the beta is not intended for live / production sites as it is expected to contain bugs. If you decide to install it on a live site, please make sure you back up.

Reporting Issues

A new 1.8 beta forum has been introduced for beta related issues. Please do not open a support ticket for beta issues as these will be deleted. Before you post your issue, make sure no one else has posted the same issue before.

1.8 beta is not intended for production / live sites as it is expected to contain bugs. If you choose to use it on a live site, please make sure you backup your database.

When testing the beta, make sure you enable WP_DEBUG with logging for your installation as this can help pinpoint certain issues. If you never used WP_DEBUG before, there is a great article about it here that might help.

Updating from 1.7.x

If you are updated an existing myCred installation, we highly recommend you go through each point type’s settings and ensure you save your settings, even if you make no changes. If you are using a premium add-on, please note that not all premium add-ons have been tested with 1.8 yet. If you are experiencing issues with a premium add-on on 1.8, please do create a new topic in 1.8 beta forum so our team will follow up with you. This is especially important for buyCred add-ons due to the new buyCred checkout process. Our team is working to release updates with backward compatibility support for all add-ons.

Note that the beta version contains a custom beta script that tells your WP installation to check for updates from the myCred.me repository instead of the WordPress one. This script is only for the beta version and will not be included in the final release! As a disclaimer, the beta script will record the following pieces of information about your website: WP version, PHP version, MySQL version and if you are using Multisite or not.
