Major Upgrade 8.3 to 10
1st timer, be gentle.
I have been using Joomla which has a really simple upgrade process. I am moving over to tiki as I like the all in one concept and the way the features operate.
I originally installed 8.3 from hostgator but decided it would be better to build the site on the latest version being 10.
the upgrade seems very complex virtually requiring a total rebuilt of all the work.
By following the instructions I did a new install and now it seems I have to re-enter all the articles, modify the theme, rebuild and add the user menu.
I am assuming I am missing something as it simply can't be this complicated.
Should I have used the old database, copied across the old theme etc but even then what about the menu etc.
I really want this to work but can't see me rebuilding at every major upgrade.
thanks
