Genesis 2.0 was just released and I’m upgrading all of our client sites using the framework. Of course the first site I upgraded was ours, just to test it, and the home page slider formatting broke. After a few minutes to confirm this was happening across the board, I fixed it.
However, to make sure there is a restore point for the other ~40 sites, I’m updating the development sites first. Then, when all tests out, I’ll upgrade the live site.
In case you’re interested here are the steps:
- Live server
- Backup db
- Backup genesis
- Backup child theme
- Backup uploads to last backup
- Dev server
- Upload genesis
- Upload child theme
- Upload image files
- Upload db
- Upgrade to Genesis 2.0
- Test site
- Live server
- upgrade Genesis 2
- Test site
- Fix anything that breaks
