Hi. I tried to do the full upgrade from 3.6.7 to PL1. The biggest problem is that my previous files were php3 and the upgrade is php. I changed my admin link in the footer of my bb to point to the php file. Now my rss feed doesn't automatically update as it should. When I changed back to 3.6.7, it ran fine. I also tried just uploading the patch. I'm not sure what the patch is supposed to accomplish, but there is no change in the version shown in the upper left corner of the cpadmin, so it would appear that nothing changed. I'm feeling like I should have stayed with 3.6.5. I have twice the files now because there was no option in the upgrade to use php3, and it will take some time to clean out the vb files.:confused:

To change to .php from .php3:

1. Download the .php version of the vB zip file.

2. Upload ALL the files, except the images and install.php. Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server.

3. Then go into your Admiin CP and upload the default vbulletin-style.xml file on the server to replace the old templates.

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Downlload/Upload Styles

4. If you have any custom templates, you will need to either revert these templates or manually change any references to .'php3' to '.php'. You can also use the Help 'Find and Replace in Templates' feature under 'Search in Templates' but be very careful with this option.
