Upgrading

Before You Upgrade

Before you upgrade your existing Plogger gallery to version 1.0-RC1, be sure you make a backup of all of your existing files via FTP and your MySQL database via phpMyAdmin, and save them in a folder on your computer.

If you have custom themes, translations, or third-party script files, make sure you back those up as well.

Upgrading from any previous version of Plogger to 1.0-RC1:

Make a backup of all of your files via FTP and your database via your web hosting control panel and save them to your computer.
Upload and overwrite ALL FILES except for plog-config.php.

Your old plog-config.php file should continue to work, but there are new options available. See plog-config-sample.php for an example.
If previously using Cruft-Free URLs, do not overwrite the .htaccess file. If you do, just login to Admin -> Options and save the options to recreate the .htaccess file.
If you have modified one of the 3 themes included in the download, either rename the modified theme folder or do not upload the new theme folder.

Open your web browser and run the upgrade script located at:
