Unable to install 4.7.17 Beta 2

[Etienne A]

Hi all,

I'd like to ask some support for upgrading my software to 4.7.17 version as it is required to keep using Sofort and Ideal payment methods via Stripe. 

I found this tutorial and copied all steps. However, when I click "Check for new updates", the Beta does not become available. Usually when there is a new update available, I get a notification which enables me to install the update. This notification doesn't pop up. 

Could you please advise?

Thanks in advance. 

Thanks, Etienne

Sorry, its not clear what tutorial that is as you are linking to something in your client area. 

You can either

A - Download the beta version from your client area, upload all files, then run the upgrader from /admin/upgrade

Or

B - Add a constants.php file to your main directory, and add the following contents. Then once done, select "check for new updates" again

<?php
define( 'USE_DEVELOPMENT_BUILDS', TRUE );

 

Always ensure you do a full backup before you proceed
