I remove the original directory, and upload a new version, in a directory of the same name. </p> <p>I don't like copying files inside the folder and hoping they are all replaced properly. That never seems to work well.</p> <p>Let me know if that works for you. Please back up first and don't try on a production site as this is still pre-release software. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/installing-16-rc5#post-38948 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 03:49:38 +0000 netagence 38948@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@David. My question is very similar to espimedia. To install the beta 1.6 I downloaded the file to my compter, then uploaded them to my website into plugins/gravityforms folder.<br /> When calling the main plugin page (/wp-admin/admin.php?page=gf_edit_forms) , we usually get counts for each formulars, but instead all columns are back to '0'. If I upload back the 1.5.3 files all the counts are correct.<br /> Can you tell us how to install the 1.6? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/installing-16-rc5#post-38943 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 22:11:56 +0000 espimedia 38943@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>David, could you expand on how to install the Beta? Sounds basic but... </p> <p>- Is there a way to auto installed? If I manually FTP is it to a new 1.6 folder? </p> <p>- Or do I upload all files over 1.5.3? Would it screw up current registration key?</p> <p>I'm mostly doing this so I can use the registration feature (where I user need to be login/register) to see a form... or is it not worth the chance and better wait for the final release? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/installing-16-rc5#post-38916 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 17:40:30 +0000 David Smith 38916@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Chris,</p> <p>Not sure I follow the issue? But when in doubt, try re-installing. After reinstalling, go ahead and make sure the plugin is still activated. If you're still having issues, just give me some more details on what you're experiencing. :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/installing-16-rc5#post-38883 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 11:21:07 +0000 netagence 38883@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,<br /> as we are very intered n the new functions implemented in the 1.6 version I was willing to test the RC5. After copying the files from the archive to the plugin folder, the wp-admin interface doesn't give any counts anymore. Are we to execute any script to finalise the installation?</p> <p>Chris </p>
