Upgrade AnsPress from Version 3.0.5 to latest (4.x)
Hi Rahul,
My current Anspress Version is 3.0.5. I want to update it to latest. But there is no option to update it from Plugins section of WP-Admin.
Can you please point me in the correct direction. Like if I just delete the old plugin directory with all its contents and replace with new one, will it work? I don’t want to lose my existing data. Or what steps should I follow for safe upgrade without losing data.
Also it seems my AskBug theme licence has expired. I want that to renew too. Please let me know how to contact you for that?
(Sorry I wasn’t active for a long time. I am not able to keep myself updated with my current studies.)
Thanks
Regards,
Atul
Hello Atul,
As upgrade script is removed from 4.1.x. To upgrade it properly simply follow below steps:
– Download 4.0.6 from here: https://github.com/anspress/anspress/archive/4.0.6.zip
– Install it manually replacing old AnsPress.
– Open commandline and run `wp anspress upgrade –yes`. Make sure wp-cliinstalled. Upgrading from wp-cli will make upgrade process smoother.
– Once completed, check site once and then update to latest version of AnsPress.
The command needs 2 dashes before yes. `wp anspress upgrade –yes`
Note: this will not work with 4.0.5, so people using WPackgist and composer are out of luck.
Not sure about it. But command will work even without –yes flag.
Thank you for your reply. But I am using Shared hosting on Hostgator. I don’t have access to command line. So can pleaee tell me, how proceed with this step — “Open commandline and run `wp anspress upgrade –yes`. Make sure wp-cliinstalled.”
