This is the recommended method to upgrade your Piwigo to the latest release. This method is compatible with Piwigo 1.7.0 and higher. If you have an earlier release, please follow the Manual Upgrade instead.

With the automatic upgrade method, you just have no excuse to forget or postpone your upgrades. It truly takes less than 1 minute to run the latest and most secure Piwigo release.

The procedure provides - upon a simple-clic validation - an automatic backup of the existing database and sensitive files, prior to any update operation.
