ClassicPress 2.0.0 "Bella" Release Notes

I have an existing test site on WP 6.4.x. I downloaded the migration tool and ran it but it seems to have migrated me to Classic Press 1.7.2

Paste the following URL into the custom URL box and it should upgrade to v2:
https://github.com/ClassicPress/ClassicPress-release/archive/2.0.0.zip

Thanks - will try that tomorrow.

If that URL would give an error, try this one:
https://github.com/ClassyBot/ClassicPress-v2-nightly/releases/download/2.0.0%2Bmigration.20240228/ClassicPress-nightly-2.0.0-migration.20240228.zip

An updated version of the Migration Plugin should be ready soon that will convert to ClassicPress v2.

A lot of work for sure, congratulations! I just got 2.0.0 with a new test site and it seems I lost my widget visibility functionality that I had with a theme. It did work in CP 1.7.3 and the older versions. As I’m not really a coder I can’t tell what’s going on.

Can you point me to the plugin that is not working?

It’s the Socrates Toolkit plugin, that comes with the Socrates premium themes. Up until now no problems in CP with them.

Sorry can’t help as it’s not a free plugin.

Have you tried to contact support?
Something that may be happening is CP v2 reports as WP v6, so plugins and themes may mistakenly read that as having block functionality, when CP does not. With CP v1, it reported as WP v4.9, so 3rd party add-ons would not try to enable block functions.

There are also other plugins that can manage widget visibility. If that’s all you need, it might be easiest just to change plugins.

Thanks very much for taking the time, Simone! In case of emergency you could have had my login details, but for now I have a solution.

I installed the public release version 2.0.0, but the Dutch translations are still being downloaded for 1.0.x - Dev. Several strings are now not being translated, such as the Previous and Next buttons.

I also noticed that “Discussion” has been translated to “Reacties”, not only is the translation plural instead of singular, but also incorrect. It should be “Discussie”. Because of this, there now seem to be two identical screen options. (See the enclosed screenshots).


Thanks for the report. Sorry about this.

Hi Tim,
Because I was curious, I took a look at the source code in /wp-admin/includes/translation-install.php. I noticed that the version /1.0.0/ is hardcoded on line 53.

As listed on Index of /v1/translations/core/1.0.0, these translations were last modified / updated on 21 November, 2023. Is that still the source?

I would really like to help out with the Dutch translations, but cannot find exactly were to do that.

I’m not sure about that. @elisabettac77 would know more.

Me thinks you are correct this are last sources uploaded. I am working with @MattyRob to get Crowdin all set and up to speed, will also check that hardcoded string to see if it’s better to make some amends to it. I personally would avoid hardcoded strings where possible but clearly Matt has the last word in it (there could be a reason for that in V1).

I am also working on an announcement and a tutorial to keep as reference for people who approach translating CP without prior knowledge of Crowdin.

Thanks for your help in localizing CP to Dutch!
