Upgrading an Existing Site from GS 3.1.2 to 3.2.0
(What to do if your site has told you you need to get the latest version)
(What to do if your site has told you you need to get the latest version)
Backup Your Site First!
Nothing needs to be uninstalled, there is no installation routine, you just download the new version and ftp the new folders and files to your server, overwriting the old ones. The simplest procedure is just to upload everything in the zip file to your site root, so that all the old files are overwritten.
If you don't want to overwrite everything because for instance you have customised or edited your old files or themes then the minimum you need to upload is the folder 'Admin' and the file index.php .
And that's it. It really is that simple.
Hope that helps. It is the distilled wisdom of devs and experts from posts you will find below.
