List of problems you can encounter and ignore at this point:

• Errors including: "Notice: Undefined offset: 4 in \core\pages-admin.php on line 34" - you can encounter it in the admin panel in the pages list. The reason for it is that the new version might not include the same menus as the previous version.

• Download Quick.Cms v5.5 »
• To migrate data in this case takes only copying the contents of the "database/" directory (except for the "_fields.php" file and subdirectories) from the older version to the "database/" directory of the new one.
• Also copy the "files/" directory with all its contents from the old version to the new one.

• Download the convert_v4.x_or_v5.x_to_v6.x.zip »
• After downloading and unpacking the converter, read the instructions in the "read-me.txt" file.
• Remember to set thumbnail sizes, image localizations, menu types and other relevant configuration variables in the "database/config.php" files in the new version of your Quick.Cms before migrating the data.

• Go to "Tools" -> "Settings" and set all of the fields: Page title, Description, Keywords, Logo, Slogan, Foot info, Login and Password.
• Input setting available in tabs including: default language and start page.
• See the manual » to verify variables displayed in the "Initial settings" sections in your script. Compare and set them to values you used in the previous version.
• If in the older version you used thumbnail sizes and menus that are not defined in the new version, see how to add new menu » or how to add new thumbnail size »

This stage requires the most work. Before making any changes to graphics we recommend creating a new directory for instance "new" in the "templates" directory of your new script and copy to that location content of the old "templates/default/" directory and in the admin panel set skin to "new".

You'll find the design modification section of the manual » helpful in this process.

If your design is based on a skin downloaded from our website, the entire process could turn out to be much simpler. Just download the skin for the latest version at skins », and modify it to look the way you want it.

If modifications were made to PHP code of your website, you'll have to contact the programmer who made these modifications to make the same changes to your new script. Most of the free plugins are available for the latest version of the script, you can find them on the plugins » page.

• Error: "Notice: Undefined offset: 4 in \core\pages-admin.php on line 44" - it happens when a menu that existed in the older version does not exist in the new one. To solve this you can move pages from this non-existing menu to another one.
• If you can't see thumbnails it's probably because in the old version of the script thumbnail sizes were different to the ones your new script uses. To generate thumbnails in sizes right for the new script you could use a program like IrfanView with it's "Batch conversion" function. You could also go another way. You could go to "database/config/general.php", set the $config['images_sizes'] variable that stores thumbnail sizes to values from the old version.

Updating your script might be a perfect opportunity to refresh your website's look, update your terms & conditions section (check for any legal inconsistencies), etc.
