Upgrading from the 1.4 series

When upgrading from 1.4.13, you will not lose any custom themes, plugins or language packs which you may have installed.



Follow the general [Wiki: Upgrading] guide outlined on the MyBB Wiki to complete the upgrade process. You may download a ZIP archive of changed files here:



changed_files_1414.zip



You must then check for modified templates using the instructions below.





Upgrading from other versions

If you are upgrading from a version earlier than 1.2 then you will lose your custom themes, templates and language packs due to the number of changes between your version and the 1.2 series.



Before you attempt to upgrade, ensure you have a database backup and a copy of the files currently in use on your board. This is so you can revert back to your earlier version if you need to or something goes horribly wrong with the upgrade process.



Follow the general [Wiki: Upgrading] guide outlined on the MyBB Wiki to complete the upgrade process.
