Follow the automatic upgrade procedure and run the most recent version of Piwigo.

Do you have any Manual upgrade Procedure?

I tried to upgrade my Piwigo from 2.3.5 to 2.4.0 and for some reasons, the upgrade process was complete with bad database. For example, some columns in the tables `piwigo_images` are not deleted. I did try again from a backup database with fails. Now the schema of databases Piwigo 2.4 and Piwigo 2.3.5 + upgrade are different. The gallery is working but

* I can't active/disactive plugin. I have to do it via mysql query
* I can't active the comment system
* I can't see the catcha support in the registration page

I need some manual steps to complete the missing stuff. For example, I like to invoke some scripts in `install/db/*.php` manually but I don't actually how to do that as they are all required me to do via web ui.

Thank you for helps.

Thank you . I did try . The last step http://example.com/photos/upgrade.php isn't a *manual* one though :(

however the whole app is now very slooooooooow.  Before I upgraded, the only time I saw an image being rendered was when I asked for the high definition version.  Now it happens with everything, even the thumbnails.  In many cases it takes more than 2 minutes to render the regular size image.

I understand what you mean. This is a matter of building the "multiple size" cache. By default the multiple size cache, including thumbnails, is generated on gallery size, when visitors are browsing your photos.

If you want to increase speed, I advise you to pre-build the cache :

1) Screen [Administration > Photos > Batch Manager]
2) Predefined filter "All"
3) in the "Selection" section click on "select the whole set"
4) in the "Action" section, select "Generate multiple size images" and check the "M - medium" size
5) click on the "Apply action" button

If you want to makes things even faster,  once the M sized photos are also in the cache, apply the same action on Thumbnail and Square.

Now, any idea what caused it to ignore the "piwigo_" prefix for users?  And, is there anything I can do about that?  I'm worried that the next update will lose some users.

Yes, I have an idea, but please open a specific topic. Something we can mark as resolved once it's resolved :-)

Amazing software!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful product.  I can't say enough good things about it.  I've also told everyone I know about it too. 

Great to see so many upgrades in the newest release.  Particularly like the automatic detection of a mobile device which changes to the relevant skin.

In place upgrade was one click, completely painless and super fast.

Well done to all involved.

Cheers, Keith.
