Security updates

To be done through composer on both the backend and frontend libraries

Installing updates is just replacing the old theme files with the new ones. It's always a good idea to backup everything before upgrade, especially if you have made any changes to Upside Education files, as the upgrade will overwrite all files. All customs in theme settings will all remain intact.

Backing Up

  1. It is always a good idea to backup before making any changes
  2. Backup database
  3. Make sure the code is updated in git repository so you can track any changes

Upgrading

  1. Pull in the latest code and build
  2. Put your site to Maintenance mode (Go to Configuration then Maintenance mode. Make sure the "Put site into maintenance mode" box is checked and click Save configuration).
  3. Update database through drush or the update file.
  4. Clear site cache (Go to Configuration then Performance and click "Clear all caches" button).

Note: If you are running a local server, just copy and override the files.
