How do I upgrade?

Hi,
We are currently running a very old version (1.10.2). We have made several changes and modifications throughout the years and I am VERY concerned whenever any upgrade is available as I do not want to lose that information. Here is what I am wanting:
- I am wanting to get the site responsive for our customers
- I downloaded a couple of new templates for possible usage (let me know how to upload those as well)
- How to upgrade to the latest version of CMS

Please let me know when you can. If things do not go well with this transition, can I easily revert back to the existing version? Or is there a TEST mode available?

Thanks Doug

Making a website responsive is not special to CMS Made Simple. It will need changes to the template(s) and CSS.

Information about theme installation can be found at https://themes.cmsmadesimple.org/

Upgrading is explained here:
https://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/upgrading/to-cmsms-2.x
If you take a backup of your site and database you will always be able to get back to where you started from.

If you need help during the upgrade post again and we will try to help.

It sounds like perhaps you're needing someone to help you as it do it for you, rather than help you find the instructions. There's a "help wanted" forum, as well as our hire-a-dev program at https://www.cmsmadesimple.org/support/hire-a-dev/
