Updating Multi-Purpose form generator to latest version
Taking backup
Important: Before updating to any new release make sure to take a back up of the following:
- Database Backup: Take a back of database used in Form-Generator. You can do this by exporting the database from phpmyadmin. Detailed step here
- public/uploads folder: Copy/move this folder
- .env file
- Translation files: If you have included any new translation language, keep a backup of the language directory from
resources/lang/{directory created by you}
Updating Steps:
Proceed to update only after you have taken the backup and kept in a safe place.
- Download the new code from codecanyon, upload it to host server and unzip it.
- Replace the old code with the new codebase folder (For example Form-Generator-CodeBase-V3.3) present inside the unzipped file in step 1.
- Check if “.env” file is not present then replace it from backup.
- Go to
www.yourwebsite.com/install/update/
- Enter the license key and envato username & click update.
- It will take a few minutes to install and configure the updates. Make sure you don’t close, refresh or go back.
- After updating it will redirect to login page or the home page if you’re already logged in.
- Check in the footer of your application it will show the latest version of the application.
- Replace the public/uploads folder with the backup folder which we kept above.
That’s all, update is done.
