PrestaToys Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hi everyone, We have a successful site running 1.5.6.2 My plan is to... install 1.6.x.x onto my server in a sub-directory buy a theme and load into 1.6.x.x edit theme > get my store looking how I want it (using a test database) . . . Migrate entire database to the new install and then launch new site - or - Migrate customers and products (but not orders or carts) and then launch new site - or - Take a suggestion from some of the experts here => My goal is toi have as few problems and as little service interruption as possible. Also... Can anyone comment on whether I should wait for 1.7.x.x ??? And can anyone recommend a premium theme(s) that gives me maximum flexibility and control over the look of my site, is feature rich, while still performing well??? Thanks kindly!!!

El Patron Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 The official method and 'best' is to upgrade the existing shop. See this excellent Tips posting https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/271082-upgrade-tips/ Here is official PrestaShop upgrade document: http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/Updating+PrestaShop Typically upgrades goes very well. Where one might spend a bit more time is installing/configuring a new theme. Select a 'quality' well documented theme, this is very important. As for other methods mentioned, those are only last resort options. There are only a couple things worse than changing your 'known' SEO structure...
