Dear all,

I have a problem with my ANCOM plot.. it doesn't show the taxonomy labels when I hover over the points on the plot, it only shows the clr and W values:

I don't know what is wrong, because the "ANCOM statistical results" below the plot show the correct taxonomy name.

I'm using qiime2-2019.10.

I'd truly appreciate your help.  
Thank you so much once again!

Thanks @timanix. This was a bug, but it was addressed in 2020.2 -

> The QIIME 2 2020.2 release is now available! Thanks to everyone involved for their hard work! As a reminder, our next planned QIIME 2 release is scheduled for late May 2020 (QIIME 2 2020.5), but please stay tuned for updates. Check out the [QIIME 2 2020.2 docs](https://docs.qiime2.org/2020.2/) for details on installing the latest QIIME 2 release, as well as tutorials and other resources. Get in touch on the QIIME 2 Forum if you run into any issues! Virtual machine builds will be available sometime within the next week - watch …

@fgara - upgrade to 2020.2 and re-run the last command to regenerate the viz - it should work as expected. Thanks!

Oh, in regards to upgrading, I saw on this Github page:

Is this still true for version 2020.2?

Thank you again!

Yes, it is still true.  
You will have two environments. You can delete or keep the old one for a while
