Updating Formulize

1. Backup your files and database.

2. Deploy the new files to your website. If you cloned the GitHub repository when installing Formulize, then you can do this:

    # stash any local changes in your site that aren't committed yet
    git stash
   
    # fetch the release you want to update to, ie: 8.02
    git fetch origin v8.02
   
    # update the code in your site with that release
    git rebase v8.02
   
    # restore your local changes
    git stash pop
   

3. Make sure the folders that need to be writable are writable by the web server

4. Login to your website with a webmaster account.

5. If a database and configuration update is required, you will be redirected to the admin side where you can click a button to apply the update. Backup your files and database before applying updates. If you are not directed automatically to the admin side then there’s nothing more to do.

6. Celebrate a succesful upgrade! 🎉
