aaiiaa.com Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Hi, I would like to upgrade my prestashop current version 1.5.4.1 to the latest version very first time. I never did upgrade the version because I was afraid of any errors after upgrade done. But recently my shop got a problem that PayPal doesn't work on my shop. So I finally decided to upgrade to the latest version. My question: Is there anything I should know and do before upgrade? Please let me know anything to avoid any possible errors or problems caused by version upgrade. Thanks Yasko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes USA Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Hi, the first step is to create a running copy of your shop to test upgrade and to see what issues will need to be addressed. Typically you will want to 1) build a test copy 2) do upgrade 3) note what issues there are if any, what modules you will need to upgrade, theme installation/configuration. When you follow this basic guide, then you can develop a clear stragetry for your production shop. Most often it's best to do the build on copy, then replace your production shop with this. Other tips? Make your own back ups from hosting, never rely on 3rd party solutions for back up and restore..
