Question

The guy that did this for me passed away from cancer last year, I am wondering if I upgrade from 1.0.4 to 2.1.6 what will I need to do, if anything? Is there somebody I can get to do this for me?

Answer 1

Although discussed throughout the site this is the most standard procedure.

You might get into troubles, because only you know what plugins you have running on v1 (and normally it will be just some plugins ( or a not 100% functional theme) that interfere (nature of old code, on new developments).

ALWAYS make backups FIRST (of database AND files) so you can always 're-start' if something goes wrong.

Remember since v1 a lot has been changed in e107 but even more on php and sql levels.
