The security patch is part of XC 4.5.5 (I think).

I've been using x-cart since the early version "3's" and have almost always done the upgrading and installing on my own. I may not be an expert programer, but I'm not a newbie to this thing by any means either.

This upgrade wasn't just a problem for third party mods, some of x-carts own mods didn't work for me. Had to re-install them which wasn't such a big deal, except for x-multicurrency - the provided file did not work correctly, whether it was marked 4.5.5 or not.

I still haven't re-installed all of their mods so the potential for more problems is "high", but one step at a time.

During the initial upgrade, it was so broke and hopeless I took out a "Hot Rush" ticket several days ago and they didn't do anything there at all, the tech just made "suggestions" on what to do. Total waste of money, I should be given a refund for that one. I was only able to install it, myself, once they re-uploaded a newer patch.

Next, the multi-currency module. It just wouldn't work. I have an international business, I need it working ASAP. Using the files they provided, it simply would not upgrade. Finally I reached the point of taking out a 3 month tech subscription yesterday, which they still haven't got around to looking at it. Then I look in my file area this mooring and I see they have a newer version of that so I uploaded it and it installed fine. Need to go close that ticket.

I have needlessly spent nearly US $500 for their help and ended up fixing it on my own once they provided files that worked. $500 is a lot of money but honestly, for me to be down a day will cost me more than that so it was the lesser of the evils. Except that they are slow now, I am basically on my own. Now that I have a 3 month tech plan, I plan to go through my site with a fine toothed comb over the next 3 months and get everything fixed pops up in an error log.

They must be overwhelmed over there at the moment, it was never like this before. Anyway, I finally have got this upgrade under control.

Lesson: I will never upgrade to another version until weeks to months have gone by. I knew better, but took the chance and paid the price. Upgrade with care my friends...
