Upgrading to 5.6.2.1 from 5.4.2.2
Permalink
Hello,
I'm running my Concrete5 site for quite a while now with satisfaction. I tried updating the CMS a year ago (I think), but it broke my template, so I reverted the update. I also disliked the admin panel.
However, I'd like to try again. Two questions:
1) My dashboard says 'The latest version is 5.5.2.1. Update now!'. Does this mean I have to update to 5.5.2.1 first and then update again to 5.6.2.1? Or is it possible to update from 5.4.2.2 at once to 5.6.2.1?
2) What caused my template to brake the last time I tried to update? Has something changed regarding templates in C5 > 5.4.2.2?
Thanks!

(make sure you have a backup)
you have to take baby steps when updating because of database changes
5.4.2.2 to 5.5.2.1 to 5.6.2.1
when your satisfied you can go back and delete old updates if you need to save space
