Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted April 15, 201510 yr Is it a good practice to delete all the IPS 3.4.7 files except conf_global.php and uploads folder, before extracting IPS4 files and running the upgrade ?
April 15, 201510 yr I usually just overwrite the old 3.4.7 files with the new files. Has worked just fine so far!

I over write on point releases and upon major releases like 2.x to 3.x and from 3.x to 4.x, I prefer clean up. In case of trojan attack or virus issues it becomes easier to compare what's wrong.

In case of trojan attack or virus issues it becomes easier to compare what's wrong. That's a good point. I might try doing exactly that when I upgrade next time.
