Re: upgrading tikiwiki questions

> Hello. I see that 1.98 is released. How do I go about updating to this? I did my initial install with Fantastico... I am just worried about following steps properly to be sure I don't lose anything on my existing site and database, changes to templates, themes, etc. Also, what are the key new features? I had thought of installing in another directory to test first. Then is it pretty easy to move everything over?

The list of fixes and new features in 1.9.8 is here. The Tiki docs include the upgrade procedure, here.

Basically:
1. Backup your exiting database.
2. Copy all the 1.9.8 files to your host.
3. Run the Tiki installer — select the upgrade script.

Of course, if you have customized any of the standard TPL or PHP files, you'll need to reapply your customizations.

HTH,
