Testing Procedure.

In v1.8 we changed how popup theme data was stored, reducing it from 5-7 post meta keys to handle this to only 1.

NOTE The primary purpose of testing for v1.8 is to ensure integrity of theme settings after a mandatory migration routine has been processed.

If you do not have access to our Advanced Theme Builder extension.

  1. Prior to installing the v1.8 beta, customize at least one theme to with various notable changes.
  2. Upgrade to v1.8.0-beta.1 and process the in dash upgrade by clicking the button to Proceed.
  3. Ensure theme settings migrated properly.
  4. Test that your popups render fine in the front end.

If you have access to our Advanced Theme Builder extension.

  1. Prior to installing the v1.8 beta, customize at least one theme to use those background images.
  2. Set a popup to use that theme with bg images.
  3. Upgrade and without testing anything else, first see if that theme renders the same.
  4. As long as the theme renders good there, proceed to ensure theme settings migrated properly.
