Known Issues

You should be aware of the following issues when upgrading to Tiki7 from prior versions:

• Instances of HTML plugins may need to be re-approved. You can approve them individually, or select multiple plugins to approve from the tiki-plugins.php page. See http://doc.tiki.org/Plugin+Security for details.
• Tracker field IDs and names may have changed. As part of the on-going Tracker Re-vamp and to improve consistency, all tracker fields now use ins_XX, where XX is the fieldId.
  If you use custom jQuery or other code with trackers, you will need to update the code to reflect this change.
