Vote It Up 1.2.2 (emergency update)
Posted by multippt
Several issues have been found with a revision of Vote It Up (version 1.2.0). A new version of the plugin has been released at Wordpress.org. Version 1.2.2 patches some of these existing problems.
Note: This plugin is NOT yet compatible with auto-update. Updating this plugin with the auto-update in Wordpress may cause some issues.
Version 1.2.2 specifically addresses the following issues:
1. Guest voting problem
A problem has been identified that will prevent guests from voting once another person has casted a vote. This affects users using version 1.2.0 and the new database version (3000). Version 1.2.2 fixes this problem and guests can now cast votes normally.
2. Loss of votes when using plugin auto-update
Vote It Up does not support the auto-update feature from Wordpress yet. Fortunately, Vote It Up provides a back up system for votes in the event that the database upgrade failed, hence no votes were lost. Version 1.2.2 adds a roll-back button (accessible via plugin options) that forces the plugin to use the older database instead of the new and blank one generated by auto-update. You will obtain your original votes by clicking on the roll back link.
Using an older version of Vote It Up may restore your votes as well.
3. User register notice
The plugin no longer embeds a hidden layer in a page’s footer if the user chose to enable guest voting.
