Hi fun123,
Thank you for reporting this!
I must say that there is category mappings upgrade to conditions for the Sliders, but there was a small mistake and that is why they were not working properly.
In the the upgrade script the condition type should be 2 rather than 0.
EXEC sp_TransferMappingsToConditions
15, -- entity type
2, -- condition type
'1', -- name property
I am really sorry you have lost so many hours instead of reporting the issue to us and have us fix it. I am a bit surprised that you consider this as a very serious issue and that you haven't sent an email to our Support mail. Please note that for any urgent issues you should send us an email (soon we will have a ticketing system, which is now in beta) rather than writing in the forums, which we monitor but with low priority. This way you are guaranteed to get a fast answer and have any issues fixed on time. .
The fix in the script is now included in all our product packages that can be downloaded from your My Downloads section.
Thanks
