Randy Calvert Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 Don't you love those moments of looking at the release notes and saying to yourself "yup... that was me!!" Matt and dutchsnowden 1 1
dutchsnowden Posted February 1, 2022 Author Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) I am too traumatized by my 3.1.4 upgrade to 4.6.9 to try it again, now to 4.6.10... Tho I tried it already flawlessly on a test server, and I got two live backup servers that can be switched on in no time. I might be waiting a few more days. 🤯 Edited February 1, 2022 by dutchsnowden
Randy Calvert Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 The minor point upgrade will be SUPER easy. It literally took all of 2-3 minutes. These sub releases are generally pretty safe. Just to make sure to take a snapshot first in case you have to roll back. I literally have not had to roll back once in any of the point updates. By the way... upgrading from 3-4 is a BEAST. Once on 4 though, it's been super easy. As long as you keep up with the upgrades, it generally is smooth. It's when you get years out of date and versions of php/mysql change, etc that you encounter difficulty.
dutchsnowden Posted February 1, 2022 Author Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) I did it on a test server, tho a bit unhappy it erred when did it automatically from Admin CP so I copied the files manually and then it went in under 10 seconds indeed. I will see. Edited February 1, 2022 by dutchsnowden
dutchsnowden Posted February 2, 2022 Author Posted February 2, 2022 I got my heart into my teeth and I have closed my eyes and then I've done it. 🙈🙉🙊 And it worked flawlessly apparently.
Randy Calvert Posted February 2, 2022 Posted February 2, 2022 Just make sure to keep up with the updates and they should be relatively painless. Your biggest risk is that with plugins breaking things. Make sure you’re familiar with recovery mode to disable plugins and you’ll be able to recover pretty quickly in the event you run into problems you did not see in a testing environment. dutchsnowden 1

I will see. That issue has been resolved too, so you shouldnt get that on future releases dutchsnowden 1
dutchsnowden Posted February 2, 2022 Author Posted February 2, 2022 @Marc Stridgen I can confirm 100%. test install was one of the beta version, but last night I installed on production the release of 4.6.10 and worked automagically from Admin CP. Thank you so much! My trauma and nightmares of upgrading from 3.x just got a slightly healed seeing how smooth this was.
