why

Why do I have to redo my shop each time you do an update. it throws JSON errors and I have to start over. Massive waste of my time.

Hey! Totally get how frustrating it is when things break after an update and you have to redo your setup, that’s a huge time sink.

Shop does have automatic template migration, but as mentioned in the 2.4 changelog:

So auto‑migration only runs when Expert Mode is turned off – that’s exactly what it was designed for. When Expert Mode is on, the plugin assumes you fully control the JSON layout and it won’t touch your custom template, because trying to auto‑edit it can actually break things even harder.

We do sometimes have to change data structures to keep improving the plugin and add new features, and auto‑migration + backups are there to make that as painless as possible. But with Expert Mode enabled it’s just too risky to modify your template automatically, so manual conversion is required in that case.

If you let me know which version you updated from and which template you’re using, I can point you to what exactly needs to be adjusted.

Hey! Thanks for the extra reports and patience.
We’ve dug into this issue and finally managed to reproduce what OgGinja and Mals were seeing with the template/JSON errors. It turned out to be a bug on our side, not something you misconfigured.

The problem is now fixed in the latest build, so you shouldn’t have to redo your whole shop anymore after updating. This bug didn’t show up during our internal testing (that’s why we initially couldn’t catch it), but your feedback helped us track it down.

Really sorry for the hassle and the time you’ve already spent rebuilding things – that’s exactly what the auto‑migration was supposed to prevent, not cause. If you run into any more issues after updating to the fixed version, please drop your logs/template and we’ll jump on it right away.

Changed Status from Pending to Fixed

Changed Fixed In to 2.4.2
