zeroca Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I have a very old prestashop. I would like to upgrade it from v1.4 to the newest one or 1.7.x at least. I would also change its overall style, add more modules. I've never done this and I am afraid it will take too much time. Is there a way to do it without my shop being not open for too long? I do really care about saving all the data from my v1.4 version. I am not super technical person, but I will try to do my best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racemaniac Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 First make a backup ( or 2 or 3 backups) of the installation and database. Just to be sure Easiest way is to use the module 1-click upgrade itself We use within our server Installatron, and that server module updates and upgrades automaticly PS after maken a server-backup I wonder why you did not do all the other upgrades from 1.4 > 1.6 and 1.7 Your missed the the important safety/securitu adjustments within PS. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhobur Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 The best way is to perform incremental upgrades fore each major version, e.g. 1.4 ->1.5, 1.5->1.6, 1.6->1.7, 1.7->1.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you change theme. Install clean, newest Prestashop version on i.e sub domain and migrate whole data from old -> new one.

Rhobur Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 @ComGrafPLWhy he wouldn't care about the data? That is the point for an upgrade isn't it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a manual and safe way of doing those things? I know there are some modules, but is there a free way of doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
