Upgrading to V2 – A practical step by step checklist with video


Summary These docs will guide you through step by step on how to convert your GDv1 site to GDv2.
There are some manual steps that must be taken before your directory functionality will be restored so it is important to follow each step. A simple conversion may take 10 minutes but a complex design could take much longer.
Somethings that may require some manual steps are:
Sidebars: GDv2 (except some of our own themes) does not add its own sidebars anymore and instead uses the built in theme sidebars, every GD widget has an option to only show on specific pages. The setup wizard can help insert basic info back for the details page, though you can add widgets back manually via the widget settings page.
Top and bottom full width sections: As mentioned above we no longer add our own widget areas so these sections may be removed on your site. You do now have almost unlimited flexibility on what info you can show and where, page builders can also replicate almost any layout.
Google Analytics: if you used our analytics section then this functionality has now moved to a separate free plugin, this can be installed direct from your dashboard under GD > Extensions.
WPML: If you are using WPML
