Hi, any new about this improvement? I think it is a must, even on a dedicated server it’s starting to be impossible to have the site running without daily crashes.

Good initiative. I agree that while using WordPress’ standard tables can work in a lot of cases, certain specialized uses will work better with custom tables. It’s good that you’re getting the advance notice out _now_ to be using the appropriate functionality to ensure forward compatibility. I’m going to be working on a plugin for EDD in the not-too-far future, so I have been gathering notes on working with EDD’s functionality.

THANK YOU!

In reply to Debbie. Hi Debbie! As an Easy Digital Downloads user, you won't need to do anything beyond ensuring your EDD plugins remain up to date. These changes are for EDD extension and theme developers.

Just exactly what does it mean for me, an EDD user, to “start using the abstraction layers”???? What is it, exactly, that I need to do so that I don’t have problems later on down the line when these changes are made? Thanks

Great move! Scary, but needed! Finally custom tables for payments, that’ll be amazing. Thanks for the heads up! 🙂
