Hi everyone,

like the title says, I bought an extension in 2014 and the support doesnt exist anymore. I cant remember when was the last time I tried to contact them through the support funtion without success.

I need support because this extension, which is encrypting and decrypting my download goods, doesnt let me turn it off or uninstall it because if one of those happens, all of the files are useless and customer orders disappear from the downloads area.

I need help, if there is someone expert in php and mysql that could help me to roll back this extension or someone that could know where to contact them.

Developer is/was called Techpres/Opencart Cooladdons.com

What is your opencart version. And what exotically you want to do? Do you want to remove the extension ? Do you want to keep the extension and make it work again?

Thank you for your answer.
My open cart version is 1.5.5.1
I want to remove the extension and make that the customers, after the deletion of the extension, have again their downloads that they bought.
Because when you uninstall or disable the extension, all the downloads from customers are not anymore available because there is no decryption happening when uninstalling the extension.

When was the last time the extension worked and what PHP version were you running then? Have you tried turning the extension off manually and removing the files?

First of all, thank you both for answering.
The extension still works as it should be. The problem is that I cannot do an OC Upgrade because this extension was not created for newer versions.
Either I remove the extension and somehow rebuild the orders with downloadable content, because after the uninstall all orders with downloadable products go blank, disappear.

or, someone could convert the extension to work on newer versions of opencart and live my entire life with the extension.

Thas is why I need a developer that can help me.

In this case would suggest you to check your original files of extension and then compare them on the server and manually remove all the files and tables created by extension from data base.

One option as a temporary fix would be to upgrade your site to OC 1.5.6.5 running on PHP 7.4 or 8. You could pay a developer a few shekels to upgrade the extension which hopefully wouldn't be a huge job. After that you could plan an upgrade to OC 3.0.3.8.

is a direct jump from 1.5.6.5 to 3.0.3.8 possible?
I was thinking to get rid of the extension but if it can be flawlessly upgraded, I can live with it. :D

It is not. It can be done in jumps but is not an easy or reliable process IMO.
