[Solved] Help Me Upgrade

Hi.

I'm REALLY sorry for asking this but I am a complete n00b to CMSMS still.
I want to upgrade. I believe I am using CMSMS 1.2.5...I want to use the newest and most stable release of CMSMS, v1.3.1.

I don't want to lose any custom templates or my site though. :(
Can anyone give me a thorough procedure on how to do this? I read the wiki where I have to back-up admin templates, but I want to make sure that I am going to be doing the right thing...do I even have to back it up? Does this new CMSMS version have any template changes etc?

Please help me. I am totally lost here. :( Upgrading from 1.2.4 to 1.2.5 was a breeze, but I'm afraid with the new 1.x there...please help me. :(

Hey King,

The procedure should be the same, just dont forget to backup all the database and files first, in case you screw it up :>

You can check:

If you need additional help PM me.

no, but of course backup your files and database first.

I did a back-up on my server then went ahead with the upgrade.
The process was a breeze! :) Well done CMSMS. I was so scared that something major was changed since it was a whole new series (1.3, not the old 1.2 series that I was now used to), but it was just like upgrading from 1.2.4 to 1.2.5 - just more files.

Thank you, and thank you for your response!
CMSMS for the win!!!
