Upgrade Questions

[Kerry Panchoo]

I have an older install of mailwizz; version 1.3.8.3
I have some questions:
- What is the upgrade path to the current version? (can I go directly to the current version)
- Are there any issues in upgrading I should be aware off (current campaigns, lists etc)
- Are there any changes in server requirements for the current version

thanks,
K

@Kerry Panchoo
- You can download latest version from envato account: https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202501014-How-To-Download-Your-Items
- Before starting the update process, make sure you backup your files and database, this is very important. You can also download the Backup Manager extension in order to ease the backup process.
- No changes in server requirements

adding to the above

can I go directly to the current version

The MailWizz update function will automatically upgrade from your current taking all intermediate steps as needed.

current campaigns, lists etc

It is a good idea to backup mwz and its dbf as well as to pause crons/camps before upgrading.

any changes in server requirements for the current version

It is still possible to run it on a (properly setup) shared server or even small 1gb ram 1 cpu vps (though not for fast sending).
