Thanks in advance My only suggestion is to make first a backup of your database and forum folders/files as well, before you upgrade your forum. (Regardless of the upgrade method btw) Edited January 15, 2021 by Miss_B bfarber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution bfarber Posted January 15, 2021 Solution Share Posted January 15, 2021 If you are self-hosted, we recommend taking a backup before applying upgrades as mentioned by @Miss_B. It is often a good idea to upgrade a test installation first to ensure there are no compatibility problems before upgrading your live site. That said, as a general rule upgrading between minor point releases (i.e. 4.5.2 to 4.5.4) should not cause you any issues, while upgrading major point releases (i.e. 4.5.x to 4.6.0) should be treated with extra caution due to a higher likelihood that third party customizations such as plugins, applications and themes will no longer be compatible.
