First Data/AIB Authipay Gateway for WooCommerce – What’s new

Our First Data/Authipay Gateway has been updated to version 1.2.15.160215. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed minor warnings in WooCommerce 2.5. The warnings were displayed on the payment page, and they did not affect the checkout process. However, they were unsightly.
  • Dropped support for WooCommerce 1.6. There are virtually no shops running that old version of WooCommerce, therefore we decided to drop compatibility with it.

WooCommerce 2.5 – Product Compatibility Status

/in , ,

WooThemes released WooCommerce 2.5 on the 18th January 2016. We started our testing process with WooCommerce 2.5 Beta1 and repeated it with RC2, to ensure the best possible compatibility with our plugins.

As of today, we haven’t encountered specific issues. We will keep testing new versions of WooCommerce in the next weeks, to check if any change could cause compatibility issues.

Important

It’s important to install WooCommerce 2.5 on a test site first. Check that all installed plugins are working correctly, run some end to end test and verify that all orders are processed correctly. If everything works fine, you can update your live site.

Compatibility status

Currency Switcher

Our WooCommerce Currency Switcher is compatible with WooCommerce 2.5. We recommend to update it to its latest version, 3.9.1.160118, to take advantage of a new filter introduced in WooCommerce. The filter will hook into shipping calculations, to ensure that formulas involving cart totals are processed correctly.

Currency Switcher Add-ons

Tax Display by Country

Compatible. The changes added to WooCommerce 2.5.x should not affect this product.

Prices by Country

Compatible.

Payment Gateways

EU VAT Assistant

Compatible since version 1.5.0.151109.

Blacklister

Compatible. This plugin should not be affected by the changes in WooCommerce 2.5.

It’s our policy to continuously test our products to make sure that any issue which might still exist is found and fixed quickly. Should you find any, please feel free to report it using our support portal: Aelia Support Portal. Thanks for your time and collaboration.

Easy Digital Downloads Currency Switcher – EDD 2.5 improvements

/in , ,

Easy Digital Downloads Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for Easy Digital Downloads has been updated to version 1.3.9.160115. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Rewritten and improved integration with EDD 2.5:
    • Added new logic to load order data in order currency, in Admin section. The latest version of Easy Digital Downloads includes new hooks that make it easier to load the correct data for display in the Admin section. We took advantage of these new hooks to improve the user experience.
    • Fixed bug that prevented the saving of tax totals. Tax totals are now saved in a separate field. We added some extra checks to make sure that these new fields are handled correctly.
    • Fixed display bug that showed the incorrect details in the payment history page. If you enable the “Show order amounts in both order currency and base currency in Payment History” option, which you can find in Downloads > Currency Switcher > Options, the Payment History page will show you the order totals in both the currency in which the order was placed, and the shop’s base currency. A bug due to a change in EDD 2.5 caused the total in base currency to show the wrong figure.

Easy Digital Downloads Currency Switcher – EDD 2.5 orders fix and support for dynamic caching

/in , ,

Easy Digital Downloads Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for Easy Digital Downloads has been updated to version 1.3.8.160115. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed bug in tracking of order amounts in Easy Digital Downloads 2.5. The bug was caused by a radical change in EDD 2.5. The new architecture caused EDD to unexpectedly trigger events related to new orders multiple times in a row (version 2.4 and earlier don’t have this issue). As a result, the order amounts were converted multiple times, resulting in incorrect figures.
  • Fixed conflict with new EDD_Payment class. This new class, introduced in EDD 2.5, is a rough equivalent of the Order class that our Currency Switcher introduced in 2014. While it’s a welcome addition to the EDD architecture, it caused conflicts with our plugin. This update addresses such conflicts.
  • Changed storage of selected currency to use cookies. This new system will allow to use dynamic caching, like it’s done with the Currency Switcher for WooCommerce.
  • Fixed display bugs in Admin area with EDD 2.5:
    • Fixed display of currency symbol in Dashboard.
    • Fixed display of order currency in Order Edit page.
