    Upgrade from 4.2.3 to 4.2.5

    Hey all.
    this week some of your advice to me upgrade my forum from 4.2.3 to 4.2.5

    I know the processes

    - take backup
    - copy 4.2.5 Files to my root and change Files and folders
    - run upgrade.php


    I just thinking about I have some plugin like advanced sratistic, like button, ...:: etc

    As far as I recall, there are no plugins which will break by upgrading from 4.2.3 to 4.2.5.

    There are a few which require updated versions or small edits if you upgrade from PHP 5.x to PHP 7.x though.

            Just want to make sure
            I will start 2 hours later upgrade my forum but still I have some question on my head. Because I have some plugin when I copy all 4.2.5 files to my root , it is going to ask replace all files and folder and I will say yes.

            But I make some postbit setting up and also some folder has specific plugin files, when I say yes replace all folders , these files will replace and my addings will delete. Is that right or no ?

                  You will need to use at least php 5.6 and ensure you have uploaded ALL the 4.2.5 files from the full package.

                    Before I uploaded only forum files upload folder but its asking cms like this.
                    then I uploaded full cms and blog files upload folder but it gives an error 18/30 which is showing up.

                    PHP version is 5.6 and 7.0 but same error.




                    Also It did not complete yet but my forums looking version changed. Is it normal ?

                        Do you have the blogs disabled in 4.2.3?

                            You will need to re-enable them. The Blogs (& CMS) were never intended to be disabled in that manner. Then run install/upgrade.php
