How to upgrade from v3 to v4

Admin Columns Pro version 4 has some major changes compared to version 3. Although we tried to make sure that no errors will occur when you update to the new version there are some things you might want to read before you upgrade to the latest version, especially when you have written some custom code for Admin Columns Pro.

Addons

When you update Admin Columns Pro to version 4, the old addons will automatically be deactivated. Please make sure that you also update the ACF and WooCommerce add-on to the latest version which is compatible with Admin Columns version 4. The new version of Admin Columns Pro will also come with some new integration add-ons for Pods and Types. It is also prepared to support even more add-ons in the future.

Filters / Actions

Since the core is changed a lot and we want to prevent that existing filters/actions can give any fatal errors, we removed almost all v3 filters and actions. If you have any old V3 filters or actions in your code, you'll get a deprecated notice for those on the new Help tab which you can find in the Admin Columns settings screen. This new Help tab will help developers migrating the old filters and actions to the new ones. Below you will find an overview of the old V3 filters and actions and the replacement in V4.
