Wait For It…

We are within hours of posting the new version with categories. I hope we do not disappoint!

A quick note before we do: Some of you are having problems with the display, and a few are having problems with the forms not working. We are working on some bugs that may fix this for future installations. However, if you are currently having trouble with the plugin, you may want to try this:

1. Back up your database
2. Back up the ‘wp_biz_listings’ table, separately
3. Deactivate the Business Directory plugin
4. Delete the ‘wp_biz_listings’ table, specifically
5. Reactivate the Business Directory plugin
6. Import the wp_biz_listings’ info from your backup

This should get you up and running again. Note two things:

1. Our objective here is to delete the specific BizDir database table, and then to restore it. Backing up your data will allow you to try this without loosing your current listings. However, if you have been unable to create any listings, the backing up in step two is not necessary. We do want you to backup your entire database, however, just to be safe.
2. If you are an advanced user, you may have changed the name of the table. ‘wp’ is the default prefix for WordPress, and the table we want to work with should be named with this prefix. But it might not be. This will likely only effect those of you who like to tinker with this stuff, and you already know this.

We are working out a few last bugs and testing, and have decided to add a necessary feature that requires you to delete or change your listings in a particular category before it lets you delete the category (just to be safe). We should be seeing this live in a few hours.
