    Anybody that is considering migrating from FlexForm to Dante should be warned that just about every short code will need to be updated on every page.

    Before purchasing Dante, I was told there were only a few changes to migrate to it from FlexForm.

    That’s simply not true. Not true at all.

    Just about every short code has changed.

    This has not been fun converting my site.

    I won’t be upgrading or buying any new SwiftIdeas themes unless there is a migration path/tool to assist.

    Hi Barry,

    There is only a few changes in terms of the shortcode base names – if you already had a large number of pages/shortcodes used, I could easily and happily have provided an step by step easy process to do a find and replace for the shortcodes to make it much simpler.

    Sorry to hear you had a lot to change, but a simple support topic and I’d have happily put something together for you to follow for the upgrade process.

    I did open ask Ed, and you guys did offer up a few changes (mostly around visibility) but there have been many more that were not covered in that topic (below)

    I still love the theme, but this has putt me off from migrating my clients site to new ones in the future.

    Hi Barry,

    Kyle has responded on that topic. Apologies, visibility classes wasn’t something that crossed my mind.
