Help upgrading from 2.8 to 2.9

Hey i recently purchased 2.9 and have installed it successfully. Before i used 2.8.

After installing the new version i found out that it does not pick the contact detail fields and all the other fields like Name and everything.

I know that in version 2.8 the fields were embedded in the post itself as tags (tags like [description]test[/description] but in 2.9 it is totally different. There seems to be no tags anywhere in the post.

What can i do to make classipress pick up those fields and display the necessary info (info like contact number, location, etc) ?

It was actually version 2.0.7 and earlier that had all the values in the post description box.

So with v2.8+, certain fields still get populated as long as the visitor has a WordPress account and is logged in. This is to make CP a little more secure so their personal data isn't always populated.

Ok

But its possible to fix it? or i have to fix one per one post??

Unfortunately you have to fix each post one at a time. I wish there was an easier way and hopefully you don't have too many posts to migrate over.
