    Hi, i have a message that WPforo has an update but will it kick out any changes or amend layout etc if i do the update?
    To be honest, i’m not sure how to back it up prior to doing update neither.
    Can anyone advise please?

    Hi stuio19,
    Yes it’s ok for update.

    In any case if you want to backup the database, there are many ways to do that.

    You can use plugins:

    Or hosting service cPanel > phpMyAdmin:

    In 99.9% cases wpDiscuz update goes without any issue. You may get some issues in these cases:

    1. If you don’t delete the cache. make sure you’ve deleted cache and purged CDN after wpForo update.
    2. If you have a copy of wpForo template files in your WP theme /wpforo/ folder please update those. wpForo 1.3.0 requirs new template files.
    3. If you have set custom colors, please do Ctrl+F5 on forum front after update.
