Simple question about constants.php and update.

[pequeno]

Hello, when I use a custom admin directory and constants.php file. Is it possible upgrade the forum without problems?

I say it because once I did it and the update was not done correctly, so now I use the default admin directory without the constants.php file

Thank you.

Yes, as long as your constants.php file has the correct admin folder name, you can update without any issues.

If you use the "manual method" to upgrade, where you upload the files with FTP, make sure that the files in the software zip file's  "admin" folder are copied to your renamed admin folder.

If you are using the automated method within the admin panel, that won't come into play; the update will know that you have a renamed admin folder and work properly.

Thank you, I have problems with automatic update and then I used the "manual method" (uploading with FTP).

But the problem could be caused by something else
