QuotesUK Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 My last upgrade took me to version 6.1.1 on 14th-Nov-2016 My admin folder is on a custom URL - I have php 7.0.16 - ZipArchive check has passed. Dashboard prompts me to upgrade but the upgrade/maintenance section says I have the current version. I can see other posts talking about stalled upgrades, upgrades failing, database crashes and things like that and wonder whether it may be best to wait a while for these issues to be worked out. Or should I put myself through the time and effort of a manual upgrade. All previous admin section upgrades have gone well so I am a but surprised to see I am now 4 updates behind, and yet there is no prompt to upgrade. A bit of a puzzle.

havenswift-hosting Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 A manual upgrade isnt too much work and I would very strongly recommend that you do an upgrade as soon as possible as there are several serious security issues in all versions below 6.1.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuotesUK Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Does the ‘Force Upgrade’ button request the latest version? (it’s catch 22 - it asks me if I am sure to continue but how do I know what it will do??) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havenswift-hosting Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Yes it should do but recent upgrades done via admin have been causing a LOT of problems so I strongly advise you to upgrade manually - I have written a set of steps in another reply recently. It looks like upgrade issues should be fixed from 6.1.6 onwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Brookbanks Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Force causes a lot of confusion. All it does is replace the existing code with the same current version. Useful if you've made customisations, got into a mess and want to restore the current version. I'll open am issue to make this more clear. As Ian says you need to upgrade manually. Take a full backup first. https://github.com/cubecart/v6/issues/1527 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
