When you upgrade your ProXCore Script from Version 1.0 to 2.0, make sure that you keep the following things in mind:
- Make sure that you have not made any design changes in the current script version 1.0
- Make sure that you have not made any customisation changes in current script version 1.0
If you have made any design or customisation changes and if you upgrade the script version, then these changes will go away/disappear and some functionalities may not work properly or stop working completely. In case, if you have done any major customisation, then your system may crash.
If you are using current script version 1.0 as default without making any design/theme/customisation changes, then you are safe to upgrade your script version.
If you have made only design changes, then after upgradation you will need to recode your customised design template.
If any of your programming or designing customisation is removed/no longer available or if your website stops working after version upgradation, then it will not be our responsibility. You need to perform the version upgradation at your own risk.
- Steps to Follow Before Upgrading
Make sure you follow all the steps mentioned below before upgrading:
- Make sure you take your entire script backup including database, files, etc.
- Change your theme to any of the default themes that comes with the script. If you have a custom theme/design and if you don’t change your theme to the script’s default theme, then your site will not work.
- Keep your site in maintenance mode before performing version upgradation in order to avoid data mismatch
