I want to upgrade to the latest version and have purchased the software. I don't have much in the current system but I don't want to lose what I have. Does the upgrade maintain the data? From what I read, I need to uninstall the current software and install the upgrade, is this accurate and can you confirm whether or not I will lose anything?

Hi,

That's pretty much how it works:
1. BACKUP EVERYTHING! :)
2. Uninstall JomSocial
3. Install latest JomSocial

As the database entries are NOT removed and user files like photos or videos are not removed either, you won't lose any data. Unless something goes horribly wrong - which doesn't happen often, in which case, restore site from backup and consult us.

HOWEVER

In your case, you have a 2.8.4 version of JomSocial. Which means you've skipped the 3.0 version. Right now we have the latest 3.1.0.1 version. So in your case the procedure will look like that:

1. BACKUP EVERYTHING! :)
2. Uninstall 2.8 version
3. Install 3.0 version
4. Uninstall 3.0 version
5. Install the latest 3.1.0.1 version

Done. You can get 3.0 version from here: www.jomsocial.com/download-old and the latest from your account.

I hope that helps.

- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements: bit.ly/WyZyrL
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job: bit.ly/10OzfPN
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

- Use the "Thank You" feature on any post that helped you
