eMember and wordrpess upgrade advice please

[kickdrummer]

Hello I am running e-member v7.9.8.1 on wp 3.4, do you reccomend this operation or suggest something else? Upgrade emember to v8.7.8 and then wp from 3.4 to 3.8. Thanks a lot. I have found no posts exactly as my scenario.

Hi Kickdrummer, because your WordPress is an old version. I would take the following steps:

1) First create a current backup if you don’t already have.

2) Find out if all your other plugins are compatible with WordPress 3.8, if they aren’t then you must upgrade them and make sure they are. This will prevent your site from crashing.

3) Find out if your theme is up to date and compatible with WordPress 3.8

3) Upgrade eMember to the latest version (eMember is compatible with latest wordpress).

4) Check eMember’s memberhsip level menu and make sure the global access to fields are all checked (if they are not then edit it and check them).

5) Once all the above is carried out then upgrade WordPress to version 3.8

6) Create another backup

If all goes well you should have a live site without any issues.

Kind regards
