AlexWebsites Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Make sure all apps, plugins and themes have been updated and ready to be installed/updated as well before you move to 4.5. If you run bare IPS, then no issue. Always advisable to backup first. sonimik1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonimik1 Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 Can I update with all applications and plugins disabled to avoid problems? All plugins and applications have to be updated or can some work? Thank you very much for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketStang Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 You should turn of all 3rd party apps and plugins to upgrade but many apps and plugins are not yet upgraded to work on 4.5...you will have to upgrade them one by one before you turn them back on! sonimik1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonimik1 Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 Thank you very much, so I think it's better to wait one more week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All plugins and applications have to be updated or can some work? Thank you very much for the reply. The 4.5 upgrader will automatically disable any applications and plugins that are installed during the upgrade. Unless the developer has released an update on the Marketplace that specifically states that it is compatible with 4.5, you should assume your plugins, themes, and applications will not work. After you've finished the upgrade process, you will go through an onboarding process to link with the new Marketplace feature. Due to a known issue, you will need to check for updates multiple times, depending on how many resources you have installed, and then install any available updates. I strongly recommend doing a test upgrade with a copy of your site to see what has changed, test what you have and whether or not it still works, and look at how any changes to your themes may be incompatible. The jump from 4.4 to 4.5, in general, is greater than you might otherwise assume and is rather significant. If you are self-hosted (not using IPS cloud): You should make a full backup of your file systems and database and ensure you can successfully restore them before performing the upgrade. The only way to revert to the previous version is to restore from your upgrade. If you are an IPS Cloud customer: You should ask them using whatever support channels they give you for help and guidance on making sure you can restore from backup if needed. No idea how any of that works. Restoring from backup is still the only way to go back, yet someone else is running and scheduling all that for you.

sonimik1 Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 Thank you very much for the answers. Is there a temporary key or license for me to make a copy of IPB? I remember a long time ago there was a test key, can you tell me when to do the update process, let me continue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonimik1 Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 Thank you very much, you indicate that a copy of my license has already been installed, how do I remove the old one? I've been using it for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonimik1 Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 Is this not? But it doesn't let me modify "test URL" Sorry, there is a problem There seems to still be an installation of Invision Community at the URL on file. Before you can change the URL, you must first remove the existing installation. Error code: R02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonimik1 Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 Can you do a test on localhost to test the applications that are compatible before updating? That can be installed from the market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
