Ok so I spent the last 4 days updating every single page of my online record shop to the new layout and today MarketPress the e-commerce (online store) plugin by WordPress (which is awesome in general) said to update to the new version. If you have an online shop DO NOT update to this new version. Your Admin panel will tell you to do the upgrade, I'm warning you now, don't do it. Especially if you have 100s or 1000s of items.
It's so buggy I don't even know where to begin. Essentially it will burn your shop down, pages won't load, store settings don't take, no countries appear in the shopping cart so the cart doesn't work, can not price variations, product images won't load on product pages or store pages. Site has fatal errors trying to load store pages with this new version.
I was lucky enough to have a backup zip of the original MarketPress. I reinstalled that over the new version which restored my site almost 100%. I had a few custom settings I had to redo in CSS to get everything back perfect but good lord, with a premium paid plug-in you'd think they would do a bit of testing before unleashing this travesty upon the WordPress world....
