Updating a site - lakechicago - 2013-04-30
Hi. I'm being prompted to update my site but apparently the only way to do this is do (a) delete the entire site (b) then install a new GS and © then restore the data, plugins and theme directories.
Then shouldn't be. I can't, in good faith, delete an entire site and trust that all the hidden files, .htaccess files, etc., are going to work out in the end.
I should be able to just unzip the new GS, then overwrite existing directories on the website (everything except the above 3 directories).
Doesn't that work as well? I tried it and my menu disappeared, so it doesn't quite work.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
Don

please read the upgrade thread, yes you copy right over old installs.

hmm your the second person to mention this issue.
menu as in front end menu ?
could be a plugin incompatibility, can you give us more info, health check status, plugins, turn debug mode on, check for errors, also check data/other/logs/error
