Upgrades

Upgrades from previous versions of “CommentPress” are possible. Please follow the following procedures for your context.

The name has been changed from “CommentPress” to “CommentPress Core” for two reasons: (a) because it serves as the basis for extending it for your purposes and (b) to safeguard historical installations, which could break if they upgrade. Newer “CommentPress” installations (versions 3.0.x – 3.3.x) can upgrade to the current version.
