nuBuilder Update Wizard

Database Backup

Secure your data before proceeding with the update

Database Backup: Export your nuBuilder database using phpMyAdmin or the nuBuilder backup utility. This will create a single file containing all nuBuilder tables and data (e.g., nubuilder4.sql).
File Backup: Create an archive of your nuBuilder files. Consider naming it with today's date for easy identification (e.g., _backup_nubuilder4.zip).

Critical Step

Always ensure you have a complete backup before proceeding. This is your safety net in case anything goes wrong during the update process.

Get the newest version of nuBuilder

Stable Release: Download the latest stable version from GitHub Releases
Latest Development Version: Download the current development build from GitHub master branch

Clean up and extract the new files

Clean Directory: Delete all files and folders in your nuBuilder directory except for nuconfig.php. Preserve any custom files that don't belong to nuBuilder core.
Extract Files: Extract the downloaded .zip file to your nuBuilder root directory. Ensure all files are properly placed in the correct structure.

Important Note

Be careful not to delete nuconfig.php or any custom modifications you've made. Only remove core nuBuilder files that will be replaced.

All preparations are complete

Execute Update: You are now ready to proceed with the nuBuilder update process.
Post-Update Testing: After completion, thoroughly test your site to ensure everything works correctly and all customizations are preserved.
Best Practice: Consider testing the update in a staging environment before applying changes to production.
