PS 1.7 Upgrade Regret

[Clinton12]

Hi All,

 

Sorry if this is in the wrong section...

 

We made a decision to upgrade to 1.7.0.5 as we needed to make major upgrades to the site but it looks like we went backwards instead of forwards, not only is the product page and check out horribly laid out but it is so unstable, I have lost count on the hrs wasted trying to fix bugs and we still have issues.

 

So my question is has anyone here got experience with 1.7.0.5 and has upgraded to the latest version 1.7.1.X? Does anyone know is it more stable?

 

Does anyone else agree that PS has gone in the wrong direction? I went back to have a look at a demo module using 1.6 and the product page and checkout preview looks much better.

 

Really really interested to know does anyone else have the issue of duplicated registrations from customers? Sometimes same info is used other times slight changes, when we ask the customer (if they leave a number) they do not appear to have knowledge of setting up a second account.

 

Thanks in advance for any help or info

Many people in the Prestashop community are unhappy with 1.7 and prefer to stick with 1.6. See this discussion: https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/566115-prestashop-17-is-now-available/

Once you are in 1.7... you have to options:

downgrade or to stay in 1.7 and upgrade every version without hesitation since there are a lot of bugs ..
