zandrauppzala Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Hi there, I've been running 1.4.8.2 since I set up my store back in June, and I've tried upgrading to 1.5.4, but failed miserably. Which is the most stable version at the moment that you'd recommend? Many thanks, Sandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturner Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I'd recommend upgrading to 1.4.10 if you like your current store. It will be faster and up to date. If you want to switch to 1.5.x for an updated theme or for some other major reason, I'd recommend installing it from a clean install and rebuilding, copying your products over. I've heard of people going from 1.4.x to 1.5.x with manual upgrades, but I haven't tried it. Haven't had the need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zandrauppzala Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Thanks for your reply, rturner. The reason I wanted to upgrade to 1.5 was that I had read that this version is able to take both weight and dimensions into consideration when choosing carrier. Im in the UK and this is how the local carrier here, Royal Mail, set their pricing. I have a flatrate in place for the UK, which accounts for the most expensive shipping option, i.e. to send a parcel rather than a large letter. Most of my products can be sent in the large letter format though, so my thinking was that I would be able to increase sales by offering a lower shipping rate and use the current flatrate only for the products that exceed the max dimensions to be sent as a large letter. If you are anyone else have any suggestions how I can manage this in 1.4.10, I'd be most grateful. Afte days of trying to get 1.5.2 and 1.5.4 to work, we have now decided to stick with 1.4, will upgrade to 1.4.10, too many bugs in 1.5 it'd seem.
