The following is relevant to you only if you are “Upgrading” DAP from an earlier version. (What’s new?)
Here’s how to upgrade to the new version:
1. DO NOT DELETE your existing dap folder on your web site.
2. Download the zip file (from your member home page) and unzip to desktop. You should now see a folder by the name “dap” on your desktop.
3. OVERWRITE the entire contents of the “dap” folder on your web site, with the contents of the new “dap” folder on your desktop.
4. Upgrade your version of LiveLinks too.
5. Login as WordPress Admin, go to “Settings > Permalinks” and then click on “Save Changes”.
6. You will now see a new link called “DigitalAccessPass” towards the bottom left of your WP Admin menu. Click on it and follow the instructions on your screen.
That’s it!

I didn’t see my blog posts and pages right away. I had to click the save button again on the Settings/Permalinks pages again on the upgrade. Now they’re all there. This is a huge time saver since my new site has 150 pages!
Thanks Ravi…

Bob,
Sorry, updated the documentation now to include that.
Thanks for the feedback.

used filezilla to drag the dap folder into my root containing the existing dap folder, then dragged the livelinks into the content/plugins area with the existing livelinks folder. Then clicked on the Save button in th Settings/Permalinks area (made sure it was not set a defaut). But still the upgrade has not been successful. Anyone know if there is something I’m missing?
Mark,
Just log in to the DAP Dashboard, and click on “Home”.

Still nothing under ‘Home’ link, Ravi. Do YOU see something there? (even tried hard refresh using Ctrl F5 in case it was a cache problem; still nothing)
It seems the only thing preventing my successful update to 3.4 is the final link is not appearing in my WP admin area. Is anyone else experiencing compatibility issues with the Headway theme interfering with plugin functionality? DAP 3.3 works fine with Headway if I don’t try to protect material within the content Leaves.
Ravi / Veena,
Is it possible to make the jump from 3.3 directly to 3.5 when it is released don the road? I’ll be able to pay the additional update fee at that time (still about a week or so left on my original trial period, so with the initial fee coming due I thought it best to perhaps wait it out for 3.5 if possible). Thanks much for any input on this.
Mark,
Yes, you sure can go from 3.3 to 3.5.
But there is no real need to wait though. Updating is just a matter of uploading the new files and a couple of clicks. All automated. Very easy.
We recommend that you start using 3.4, as it has a number of features that are extremely useful for you as an admin.
