Updating from 5.6.2.1 to 5.6.3.3 - Safe?

Permalink April 10, 2015 at 5:26 AM

Hi, I have a number of C5 sites running 5.6.2.1 and want to update them to the latest 5.6.3.3. Is it safe to to just run the latest updater straight to 5.6.3.3 or should I manually upload and update all the interim releases?

You should be able to make that update all in one jump.

Take a full files and database backup first, just in case.

If your theme is old, it is usually safest to swap to a default theme for the update, then swap back again. If the theme was written for 5.6, such measures are probably over-paranoid.

Thanks JohntheFish, I thought that might be the case but worth asking the question!!
