Hey Raven People!

I am so excited that RN 2.20 has been released!

I want to eventually convert my 2 sites to RN 2.20 but I want to take baby steps first Wink

I have a test site that is currently running RN 2.10 Free Your Media
There isn't anything that I wish to save from that site. I want to now make the test site RN 2.20.
Would you suggest deleting RN 2.10 completely and doing a fresh RN 2.20 install or doing an upgrade?

Thank You so much!

JoAnne

As it is purely a test site and you presumably have no user data etc you want/need to transfer I would recommend deleting your old site ans starting fresh. It will save you a fair amount of time if nothing else.

In addition to saving time with this approach you will also avoid having a bunch of orphaned files and directories hanging on into perpetuity. Aside from wasting disk space these files can make any problem resolution you need to do more difficult.

JoAnne,

Never update if you don't need to. Always start fresh Wink
