Hey guys, I am a bit disappointed with the way you handled the upgrade of the blog component to the recent versions (v5 +)

I was upgrading from the v3.9 of the component and have spent the last 48 hours fixing issues after upgrading. There are still things I cannot fix and that is why I am writing this post.

Firstly, the component auto updater never flagged the upgrade and I had find this by accident (what happens if my renewal date passed without me realising an update was available?)

Here are some of the issues I have been fixing after the upgrade:

- All Blog "cover" images were distorted in size and needed manual resizing in the settings.
- All videos embedded using the blog tool did not work (the embed link was just plain text), I had to manually correct all videos links.
- *All H2 tags have lost formatting, where I had certain words within the H2 tags bold, all H2 tags now appear bold and cannot be changed.
- *Social icon strips have changed positions to the bottom of articles, I preferred them at the top of a post but do not know how to shift their position.
- *All my blog posts have the LinkedIn shared icons display the value of "29 shares" this is obviously in error (see attached image)
- *Some text in the components settings tabs appears garbled (see attached image)
- *The template positions within easy blog have shifted. The Google Adsense images that used to appear after the blog post cover image now appear above instead. (something similar happens to the position at the end of the content.
- *I have lost the RSS feed link on the home page (even though it is enabled in settings)


All the issues with an asterix in front are still unsolved - Can you help? (login details shared)

Disappointed David
Hey David,

I am sorry that delay of this reply and make you inconvenience on this,

- All Blog "cover" images were distorted in size and needed manual resizing in the settings.

You can configure this post cover listing setting from backend > Easyblog > settings > layout > post cover (screenshot : http://screencast.com/t/wxPMEn1nFa )

- All videos embedded using the blog tool did not work (the embed link was just plain text), I had to manually correct all videos links.

Perhaps you can provide us one of the video embed post is not working so we can check on this?

- *All H2 tags have lost formatting, where I had certain words within the H2 tags bold, all H2 tags now appear bold and cannot be changed.

Can you provide us some screenshot which post are you referring to? So we can help you check on this.

- *Social icon strips have changed positions to the bottom of articles, I preferred them at the top of a post but do not know how to shift their position.

Unfortunately we already removed this social button position setting in Easyblog 5, since most of the user complain about the styling issue in Easyblog 3.9. So the social button only display on the bottom.

- *All my blog posts have the LinkedIn shared icons display the value of "29 shares" this is obviously in error (see attached image)

May i know which error are you hitting? Because I didn't see any error shown up on you attached the screenshot.
It seems work fine for me, you can take a look of my screenshot here : http://screencast.com/t/dE4KnrpB

- *Some text in the components settings tabs appears garbled (see attached image)

I already help you solved this.

- *The template positions within easy blog have shifted. The Google Adsense images that used to appear after the blog post cover image now appear above instead. (something similar happens to the position at the end of the content.

May i know post got insert adsense available option ?
e.g
{eblogads}
-- or --
{eblogads right}
-- or --
{eblogads left}
:

it seems like your site I suddenly can't access, I getting this : This web page is not available .

- *I have lost the RSS feed link on the home page (even though it is enabled in settings)

In Easyblog 5, we move the RSS feed link in the Easyblog toolbar, take a look of my screenshot : http://screencast.com/t/El3NqgaI3
