My Discourse installation has fallen out of date (3.2.0.beta4-dev) and I need to upgrade to 3.5. I am worried about disturbing things and use a few plugins/integrations that I haven’t wanted to change (WP Discourse, login through Wordpress with membership info and Category Lockdown plugin) and I hav…

If you want to be safest, you’ll spin up a new server, Move a Discourse site to another VPS with rsync (I’d skip the database files), and restore a backup. I’m pretty sure that you’ll need to PostgreSQL 15 update . There should be no issues with WP Discourse. You can check Discourse Category Lockdo…

Checklists are a good idea. For myself, contemplating an upgrade, I wait for a release, wait a couple of days, wait for a weekday, read the Bugs and Support categories to see what problems people are having. And wait for those problems, if any, to be fixed.

[изображение] merefield: You are on stable presumably? No, I’m on tests-passed. It’s true that my delay of a few days will allow some stray further commits to be added to the repo, but at the same time it allows some mistakes to have been corrected. Almost all commits, of course, are not pr…

There is a flurry of upgrades just after a new beta, so even on tests-passed, a few days after an upgrade is a good time for an upgrade. Or, perhaps we share the same flawed logic!
