Upgrading

Upgrading to a newer version of gpEasy is, just as it should be, very easy. Just follow the steps below to get the most recent version running on your site.

1) Download the Latest Package

Go to gpEasy.com or Sourceforge.net to find the latest gpEasy release.

2) Unzip/Untar the Package

Open the downloaded package and copy the contents to your computer. Most computers will be readily equiped with the software required to open the gpEasy packages.

3) Updating the /include and /themes directories

Updating the /include and /theme directories will ensure you have the most recent features and designs.

To minimize the impact to users while upgrading, we recommend the following:

• Upload the new /include directory first.

• Upload the new /include directory to a different path first. Something like /include_new. Then once the upload is complete, rename the old /include path to /include_old and /include_new to /include. This way none of the new code will accidentally be executed with old code.

• If you have built custom themes, be careful not to delete them when replacing the /themes directory. Instead, you should replace each of the themes individually.
