Version 1.5.4.1 verses 1.6.1.7

[RayBox]

Hi, I've recently purchase a template website designed for/with Prestashop 1.5.4.1

 

I've inadvertently upgraded the Prestashop to 1.6.17

 

The template supplier can only guarantee the site will work with 1.5.4.1 and suggest I go back to it.  Not that easy to do...

 

The shop appears to be working but I've only just started working on it.  

 

Can anyone tell the differences between the 2 versions and if I'll come across any major issues?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Ray

if developer of the theme does not guarantee that everything will be fine - then no one does...

do not fall in love with your theme so much that you  would bother retrofitting from 1.5 to 1.6...you will fail....and you will  not even know how many ways it will go wrong.

 

even asking tells me you need to hire someone to do this for you...lol

 

I'd rather tell the brutal truth than give any hope you will  succeed on your own....even with forum help.

 

good luck, el

Thanks El  think...

 

I'm a bit confused with your comment.  I've already change from 1.5 to 1.6.  So are you basically saying you wouldn't have advised changing from 1.5 to 1.6?  

 

Or are you saying don't bother trying to go back to 1.5?  I'm in the process of getting the whole site reloaded with 1.5 and start again.  Haven't done a lot with the site so its not to big a deal.

 

Thanks,

Theme for 1.5 would not work on 1.6, and it would be much cheaper to just purchase theme dedicated for 1.6 version. That's it
