Custome Code – About to upgrade plug in

[Martin Suchta]

Hello EventPro-ers

I currently have version 2.0.1 installed of EventPro.

I can update to version 3.01

I a customer short_code which I wrote. My question is if I upgrade to newest version will my custom code be zapped? Is there anyway to preserve custom code so that when I do updates I don;t have to replace this code manually??

Thank you

Hi Martin,

This depends where you put the code. If it was inside the event-organiser-pro folder then yes. Otherwise, no.

When writing custom code a lot of developers will put it in the child’s theme functions.php (which allows them to update the theme). If its not specific to that theme I would strongly recommend creating your own plug-in to put the custom code in: https://wp-event-organiser.com/blog/tutorial/where-should-i-put-code-from-the-tutorials/

I’d also strongly recommend you review the changelog and this blog post: https://wp-event-organiser.com/blog/announcements/event-organiser-pro-v3/ in case there are hooks or functions you are using which have changed or been removed.
