## Upgrading ProcessWire
Before proceeding with any version upgrade, please see the
Upgrading is easy and usually just a matter of replacing your `/wire/` directory
with the one from the new version. But to be safe, before proceeding with any version upgrade, please see the
[Upgrading ProcessWire](https://processwire.com/docs/start/install/upgrade/)
guide and keep it open during your upgrade in case you need to refer back to it.
### Upgrading from ProcessWire 3.x (earlier version)
guide and perhaps keep it open during your upgrade in case you need to refer back to it.
When upgrading from one 3.x version to another, please use the
[General Upgrade Process](https://processwire.com/docs/start/install/upgrade/#general-upgrade-process).
This consists primarily of making sure you've got everything backed up and then
just replacing your `/wire/` directory with the one from the newest version.
[general upgrade process](https://processwire.com/docs/start/install/upgrade/#general-upgrade-process).
This consists primarily of making sure you've got everything backed up and then just
replacing your `/wire/` directory with the one from the newer version.
In addition, if you are currently running any 3.x version prior to 3.0.135,
you will also want to upgrade your root `.htaccess` file to the newest version:
- If you are upgrading from a 3.x version prior to 3.0.135 then please also follow
[these instructions](https://processwire.com/docs/start/install/upgrade/from-3.x/).
#### Upgrading your .htaccess file
- If you are upgrading from any 2.x version then please see
[upgrading from ProcessWire 2.x](https://processwire.com/docs/start/install/upgrade/from-2.x/).
* If you haven't made any custom modifications to your .htaccess file then you
can simply replace the old one with the new one. The new one is in a file
named `htaccess.txt` so you'll rename it to `.htaccess` after removing
your old one (all in the same directory as this README file).
* If your .htaccess file does have custom modifications, you know what they
are, and are comfortable applying them to the new one — go ahead and
follow the step above and then make those same modifications to the new
.htaccess file.
* If you aren't sure what custom modifications your .htaccess file might
have, or how to apply them to the new one, please see this post which will
quickly guide you through it:
[How to upgrade an existing .htaccess file](https://processwire.com/blog/posts/pw-3.0.135/#how-to-update-an-existing-htaccess-file)
*If you are curious what's new in this latest .htaccess file version,
please see [this post](https://processwire.com/blog/posts/pw-3.0.135/)
for all the details.*
- If you run into any trouble upgrading, please see our
[troubleshooting upgrades guide](https://processwire.com/docs/start/install/troubleshooting/#troubleshooting-upgrades).
### Pro module version upgrade notes (if applicable)
### Upgrading from ProcessWire 2.x
If upgrading from ProcessWire 2.5 or older, we recommend that you upgrade
to ProcessWire [2.7](https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/processwire) first.
This version includes details in the README file on how to upgrade from that
older version of ProcessWire. To upgrade from ProcessWire 2.6 (or newer)
to ProcessWire 3.x, please follow the instructions below.
1. Login to the admin of your site.
2. Edit your `/site/config.php` file and set `$config->debug = true;` to ensure
you can see error messages. This is optional but recommended.
3. Replace your `/wire/` directory and `/index.php` file with the new ones from here.
4. Click a navigation link in your admin, such as "Pages". You may notice a delay.
This is ProcessWire compiling 3rd party modules into a format that is
compatible with version 3.x. Keep an eye out for any error messages.
If you see any issues, it's possible you may need to upgrade one or more
3rd party modules. If you see messages about it applying updates, keep hitting
reload in your browser until you no longer see any update messages.
5. Once you've resolved error messages in your admin, you'll want to test out
the front end of your site. Again, expect a delay while ProcessWire compiles
any files to make them compatible with 3.x. Depending on your template file
strategy, updates may or may not be necessary. If you run into any pages
that aren't working, see the section further down on troubleshooting.
Thoroughly test every aspect if your site to ensure that everything is
working as you expect.
6. When you've confirmed a successful upgrade, remember to restore the
`$config->debug` setting back to `false` in your /site/config.php file.
**Troubleshooting a 3.x upgrade**
If you run into any trouble upgrading, please see our
[troubleshooting upgrades guide](https://processwire.com/docs/start/install/troubleshooting/#troubleshooting-upgrades).
### Pro module upgrade notes
- If using [FormBuilder](https://processwire.com/store/form-builder/),
we recommend using only v0.3.0 or newer, but v0.4.0 or newer if possible.
- If using [ProCache](https://processwire.com/store/pro-cache/),
we recommend using only v3.1.4 or newer.
- If using [ListerPro](https://processwire.com/store/lister-pro/),
we recommend using only v1.0.9 or newer.
- If using [ProFields](https://processwire.com/store/pro-fields/),
we recommend grabbing the latest versions in the ProFields support board.
- If using ProCache and you upgraded your .htaccess file, you should
go to your ProCache settings after the upgrade to have it update
your .htaccess file again. If no upgrades to your .htaccess file
are necessary, then the ProCache settings page won't mention it.
- [FormBuilder](https://processwire.com/store/form-builder/)
version 0.4.0 or newer required, 0.5.0 or newer recommended.
- [ListerPro](https://processwire.com/store/lister-pro/)
version 1.0.9 or newer required, 1.1.3 or newer recommended.
- [ProFields](https://processwire.com/store/pro-fields/)
the latest versions of all ProFields (10 modules) are recommended.
- [LoginRegisterPro](https://processwire.com/store/login-register-pro/)
all versions supported but version 5 or newer recommended.
- [ProCache](https://processwire.com/store/pro-cache/)
version 3.1.4 or newer required, 4.0.0 or newer recommended.
After upgrading, go to your ProCache settings in the admin (Setup > ProCache)
and see if it suggests any modifications to your .htaccess file.
- For all other Pro modules not mentioned above (ProMailer, ProDrafts,
ProDevTools, Likes) there are no specific version requirements but we
recommend using the latest available versions when possible.
