Hello,
We need some advice.
I need to upgrade our site from version 5.0.1 to version 5.2.1.
So I downloaded: SocialEngine PHP Upgrade 5.2.1 in order to install it.
On the other hand, do I have to load all the Photos Albums, Groups, Events extensions? ... and do the updates too?
I'm a little worried because we've never done it. For example, groups are always in Groups 4.10.3
I still have my doubts ...
Thank you in advance for your advice.
Sincerely
You should always upgrade plugins with your upgrades or your site can have pretty bad issues from running old plugins on new versions. The upgrade guide explains how to upgrade so it would be best to follow that. First make sure you fully back up the site files and database. Never store your backups on your server. This makes future backups larger as you end up backing up a backup and also, it's not secure to store backups on the server.
If you have a development site (recommended), upgrade that first to see how things go.
Ok, if I understand correctly, I have to download each module update 1 by 1 and install them.
Thanks for your advices.
Yes
The updates ended well.
Thank you for your advice and help.
