    Hello,

    I would like to do my first WordPress upgrade from 3.8.x to 4.4.x. Do I have to install/upgrade to each incremental version? Or can I upgrade in one fell swoop?

    My concern is picking up possible incremental changes to the database schema.

    And while I’m at it, are changes to the database documented in one place?

    Thanks.

  • pls at-first backup your database and files

    Upgrading Across Multiple Versions

    While the methodology given below is the “safe” approach, as long as you have proper backups, then it is indeed possible to upgrade directly from the very first version of WordPress to the very latest version in one-easy-step. WordPress does support this process, and WordPress is extremely backwards compatible in this respect. That said, if you have a large site, the upgrade process may take longer than expected, in which case an incremental approach may help. Just remember to retain a backup of a working site so that you always have a fallback position.
