    I’m planning to upgrade Sensei 1.10.0 for a customer!
    Wow ????? (I assure you I’m not the webmaster who left the site fallow)

    Given the numerous upgrades and the current version 4.24.5, I suspect I’ll have to take precautions, but would you tell me that I can update without fear via the usual WordPress process, or do I need to perform a special operation beforehand?

    Hi there

    There have been many significant changes to Sensei since v1.10.0, so a 1-click update is not advised, and probably not even possible.

    We can’t really guarantee you’ll be able to upgrade without any issues, but I can provide some suggestions that might help.

    First make sure you have a full site backup that can be restored in case anything goes wrong.

    I’d suggest updating on a staging site first to test the process and make sure it works before trying it on your production site.

    Instead of updating directly to the latest version, I’d suggest updating in stages to each major release (2.0, 3.0, 4.0). You can download those here. This should ensure that the database gets all the required upgrades from those major updates.

    If the site has any custom code, it may need to be updated to work with the latest version.

    Sensei LMS has a lot of new features, so I’d suggest reviewing the documentation to make sure you understand how everything works in the latest version of Sensei.

    Hope that helps! Good luck, and let us know how it goes!
