Upgrading risks from version 5.4.2.2.
Permalink
Hello All,
I started using Concrete5 for my wife's website at version 5.4.2.2, which is what it still is. It was a test, as I was more of a Wordpress user.
Some Admin functions seem to fail with as many pages as she now has (i.e. page dropdowns in Admin). I want to upgrade, but am deathly afraid of the resulting errors that may occur, or worse, a loss of uptime. Is there anything for me to worry about? Have their been significant changes to database/content structure that I should worry about? Can someone help?
Please advise... Scared,
Zane

5.7 isn't backward-compatible with 5.6 or earlier, and there's no automatic upgrade across that divide. However, there is a tool that may help (but I wouldn't use it until you've upgraded to the latest 5.6). See
http://documentation.concrete5.org/tutorials/upgrade-56-57...
I'd expect some issues.

You can also test the upgrade in a local server first.
So it shouldn't be scary if you have tested it before or you can restore it afterwards if something goes wrong.
