Installation and upgrade notes for Wikka 1.3.3
These are instructions you should follow if you wish to upgrade an existing wiki running on Wikka 1.2 or earlier. If you are installing Wikka for the first time, please refer to this page instead.
Important notes
Upgrading from 1.1.xAs of 1.2, WikkaWiki incorporates new support for modularized themes. A new file hierarchy has been introduced, and the old css/ directory is going away. It is imperative that you make a backup of your css/ and templates/ directory BEFORE attempting to upgrade, if you have customized your site theme! Failure to do so will most likely result in a loss of part or all of your theme changes. It's always good practice to back up both your Wikka install directory and your database prior to any upgrades.
Upgrading from 1.2
Some CSS changes have been made to the themes, so as always, please make a backup of your default, light, and/or kubric themes if you have customized them.
Also, the installer now backs up the standard installed files in config/, as these have changed significantly. If you have modified your menus, you will have to manually merge your changes into the new installed config/ files.
Users running previous versions of Wikka are strongly recommended to upgrade or install a fresh package. Upgrading via the web-based wizard takes only a few minutes.
