Gatherpress Alpha

As we continue to refine and develop GatherPress, please use the GatherPress Alpha plugin alongside the core GatherPress plugin. The Alpha plugin helps manage breaking changes effectively:

• Ensure that the version of GatherPress Alpha matches the version of the core GatherPress plugin.
• Activate both plugins.
• Navigate to the Alpha tab under Events -> Settings in the WordPress admin.
• Click Fix GatherPress! to resolve any compatibility issues.

How to Determine Which Version to Install

1. Check Your GatherPress Version: Go to your website’s admin, navigate to the “Plugins” section, and locate GatherPress in the list of installed plugins. Note the version number currently installed.
2. Find the Matching Release: Visit the Releases section on this page (or the relevant repository) and locate the release that matches the version of GatherPress you have installed.
3. Download the Plugin: Under the Assets section of the matching release, find and click on gatherpress-alpha.zip to download it.
4. Install the Plugin: In your website’s admin, go to Plugins > Add New Plugin and upload the gatherpress-alpha.zip file you just downloaded.
5. Repeat for Updates: Follow these steps for each GatherPress update to ensure compatibility.

This process helps us manage technical debt effectively as we work towards the launch of version 1.0.0 of the plugin.
