Help to upgrade CE3 - CE4

Hello.

I am a customer of several of your CE3 TTG plugins, specifically CE3 Pages, Theme for WordPress, Gallery and Autoindex.
Now I'm thinking of upgrading to CE4, including a Client Response Gallery plugin. I need advice about whether it would be better to purchase a bundle, or whether it would be cheaper to buy the updates of the plugins that I have, adding the CRG.

Mi page is www.josemanuelsantos.es (currently I do not have active the Wordpress site).
(Sorry for my bad English, Google Translator is my assistant).

Tanks

Re: Help to upgrade CE3 - CE4

In 2015, the bundles are monetarily equivalent to individual item upgrades using discounts. The best value is to begin with CE4 Blog & Galleries Bundle, then purchase CE4 Client Response Gallery and CE4 Pages using individual discount codes. Because our shopping cart only allows the use of one code per order, you can accomplish this in two orders:

1.
CE4 Blog & Galleries Bundle
CE4 Client Response Gallery (use discount)

2.
CE4 Pages (use discount)

I do not have the "CE3 Client Response Gallery" plugin. Can I apply my "CE3 Theme for WordPress" and/or "CE3 Gallery" discount on this purchase?

Re: Help to upgrade CE3 - CE4

Sorry, but no. Discount codes are valid only for direct upgrades to the same product. Purchasing the CE4 Blog & Galleries Bundle will cover those discounts.

Re: Help to upgrade CE3 - CE4

Excuse me, it is a bit difficult to decide.

In this case, would it be best to update my CE3 Pages and Wordpress plugins and buy CE4 Client Proofing Bundle? Am I missing something? Can I need "CE4 Galleries" for normal galleries in addition to Client Response Galleries?

Thanks a lot.

Re: Help to upgrade CE3 - CE4

Either way, since you didn't have CE3 CRG, you'll need to buy the CE4 version on it's own.

If you want regular galleries in addition to Client Response Galleries, it's a good idea to also get CE4 Gallery. For instance, if you ever want to sell prints or digital downloads using TTG Cart, you'll need CE4 Gallery since CRG is not cart compatible. And you'll have additional large image presentation options with Gallery.

Re: Help to upgrade CE3 - CE4

Thanks Rob . I think for now I will not need Cart.

I want to know what are the best options to upgrade and purchase these plugins, in bundles or not:

Pages (I have CE3)
Galleries (if I need for regular Galleries; I have CE3)
Theme for Wordpress (I have CE3)
Client Response Gallery

Thanks

Re: Help to upgrade CE3 - CE4

Matt priced the bundles so they included a discount that pretty much matches any upgrade discounts.

Just do the math. I don't know what the upgrade discount is so I can't really do the comparison for you.

the Web Publishing bundle is $85. That includes Pages, Gallery, Autoindex, and Publisher.
CRG is $50
Theme for Wordpress is $50  (minus any upgrade discount you might have.

That adds ups to $185 (minus any Theme for WordPress upgrade discount)

The Blog and Galleries bundle is $100. That includes Theme for WordPress, Autoindex, Gallery, and Publisher.
CRG is $50
Pages is $25 minus any upgrade discount.

That adds up to $175 minus any Pages upgrade discount you might be eligible for.

Re: Help to upgrade CE3 - CE4

CE4 Blog & Galleries Bundle is the best value on the shop, by about $5. Beyond that, everything else should be equal. So the setup I described above is your best solution.

Re: Help to upgrade CE3 - CE4

Thanks, Matthew and Rob.

Lack of information about applicable discounts and, perhaps, a small error in your first response (CE4 Client Response Gallery (use discount)) made me wonder. I think I finally follow your advice.
