Updating URE from version 3.x to 4.x ?

    I need to upgrade the URE plugin on a multisite WordPress blog from 3.14 to the latest 4.x version.

    Is it possible to go the normal WP way by simply overwriting the old files with the new ones? Of course, deactivating the plugin first and creating a complete backup beforehand.

    Or are there some special things to consider or to do at a big update like this? E.g. has the database model been modified?

    Thanks for your help.

    Yes, it is possible.
    Version 4.x stores plugin options other way comparing to 3.x. Just check plugins settings after the upgrade and turn them on, in case you miss something. All changes you made to the roles will stay unchanged as they are done directly to the WordPress internal data.

    Great, thanks a lot for your quick answer. We are testing the upgrade at the moment on our WP multisite platform and it seems to be working.

    The only little bug I found are these broken images on the URE settings page in the dashboard. The small help icons are not displayed.

    But I could resolve it. There is a double slash // in the image source path. I opened the URE script “includes/class-ure-lib.php” and removed the slash in line 1319: ... URE_PLUGIN_URL . '/images/help.png" ... Then the help images were properly displayed.
