Updating to Krafter 2.2

Mak,

Are you anticipating that Krafter presets can somehow be incorporated into the Divi preset management tool, or would Krafter continue to sit beside it as a stand-alone solution in addition to whatever Divi adds? I wouldn't want to be forced to implement all of the Krafter presets by hand in any tool Divi creates.

I haven’t been able to download version 2.2. I’ve already shared the evidence with you. What would you recommend I do next?

Mak Question 1: As we discussed previously, do you think you can create "Krafter" as a plugin, so the plugin could automatically be updated through the WordPress dashboard by simply clicking the "update" link. You had mentioned you were going to see if you could get someone to help you do this and I was just curious when this might be implemented. It will just be easier for everyone than having to manually download each new update file, open the zip, and import it into the Divi Library area, for every site we are working on. If it was a plugin, and if your plugin could autoupdate when new updates for Krafter are released, this would be outstanding. Please let us know if this is going to be possible and approximately how long you think this might take. (I wish I had the technical ability to do this for you, but I don't.) Gary Gordon

Mak Question 2: We have a question about the correct procedure for upgrading Krafter. We frequently customize the Presets and Default Presets (fonts, colors, spacing, etc.) for individual websites. Our concern is that when we upgrade to a newer version of Krafter, these custom presets will be overwritten and lost. Could you please confirm if the upgrade process overwrites existing presets? If so, what is the recommended procedure to back up and restore our customizations to prevent them from being deleted? I'm hoping that there's a very easy way to retain our customized presets that we make after we upgrade each new version of Krafter. Thanks, Gary Gordon

Mak Robert Nitrio  For me, I'm wanting to delete ALL presets that are in a website that we may be working on so I can then install Krafter 2.2 and apply the new presets and make sure that there aren't any duplicates or conflicts from previous versions of Krafter. Does this make sense? Please let us know how we can do this in one step and in the easies way possible. Thanks, Gary

Robert Nitrio Great. But rather than you have to test this out in order to get the answer, Mak should easily be able to tell us how it works, how we can delete all the prompts before installing a newer version of Krafter. I just feel bad having you go through this testing process. I think Mak probably already knows the answer and hopefully can provide us with a step by step walkthrough of the best way for us to do this. 👍

In this topic i find this solution and i have used it my self and it worked för me.

Hope this will help other too.

Deep Clean (For All Presets)

1. Install and activate a Child Theme for safety.
2. Go to Appearance > Theme File Editor (or Code Editor in Divi 5).
3. Select the functions.php file.
4. Add the following code to the end of the file and visit your site with ?delete_global_presets=1 in the URL (e.g., yoursite.com?delete_global_presets=1) to run it. 

php

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', function() {
    if ( isset( $_GET['delete_global_presets'] ) ) {
        delete_option( 'et_divi_builder_global_presets_history_ng' ); // delete presets history
        die( 'Global Presets Deleted!' );
    }
});

Mak I'd greatly appreciate it if you could provide us with a step by step guide as to how we can upgrade from one version of Krafter to another version of Krafter so that:

1. Any modifications that we may have made to presets (that originally were in Krafter, etc.) so they will remain in tact after we upgrade to a newer version of Krafter.
2. Since you mentioned that we should delete our previous presets before installing a newer version of Krafter, if we do this, will we also be deleting "custom" presets that we may have set while using a previous version of Krafter?
3. I'm just hoping you can provide us with a step by step guide to remove old presets, yet still keep any custom presets that we have modified and want to keep, and reinstall a newer verion of Krafter so the "new presets" can be added - but not conflict with any custom presets that we set up.

Can you please help us with this??
