Hi everyone,

I have just come on board with a site and it is rather behind on updates. Could anyone highlight any issues, if any, I might encounter going from 4.0.12 to 4.6? My main concern is woocommerce.

Any advice gratefully received. Thanks, Dan

ps I’m doing all the obvious stuff like backups of course. It’s more whether I will need to faff around with new API keys etc.

You *should* be safe to just hit the button at Dashboard -> Updates in your site’s Dashboard to just go straight to 4.6, but there is also a recommend step-style upgrade process: https://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended#Upgrading_Across_Multiple_Versions

Make a backup first, of course: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups

WordPress itself doesn’t have any API keys, so what you need to do with any API keys you have all depends specifically on the plugins (or theme) that’s using them, in general you shouldn’t need to change them.

Hi James, so I completed the update with no immediate issues apart from the fact I know (and can see the counter) some of my plugins need updating but they there are no props to install updates on the actually plugins page. Any idea? Thanks, Dan

Try running the updates from Dashboard -> Updates instead.

Same deal there as well I’m afraid. Nothing showing apart from theme upgrades (which I’ve done)

Hm, ok try deactivating all plugins (not just the affected ones). Are you then able to update them?

That did the trick, thank you again!
