[HowTo] Upgrade from a older version of Vanilla to a newer version (Fixed Edition)
![[Deleted User]](https://open.vanillaforums.com/applications/dashboard/design/images/banned.png)
1: Download your version of Vanilla you want to upgrade to
2: Backup your database using phpMyAdmin or the Vanilla Porter found in the Core Section of Addons
3: Open your FTP client (if you don't have one, I recommend FileZilla)
4: Once you make sure you backup your database, DELETE your entire Vanilla folder (with Caution making sure you don't delete anything else) using FTP (your FTP client)
5: Upload your new Vanilla install (The one you downloaded) using FTP once again
6: Go to your new vanilla install and end the domain with /index.php?p=utility/update and let it update. Answer any questions it may give you
7: Enjoy your new Vanilla install! If there's anything left out, comment please!

This doesn't account for plugins, themes, locales, or uploads that are contained within the Vanilla folder.
That's why I closed it. It's more advisable to look at the Vanilla Wiki Upgrade page
