Upgrade question
Hello! It's been a few years since I posted here, and the same few years since I upgraded Piwigo.
I'm currently running 11.5.0, and need to upgrade to 15.5.0
My question is, if I do the automatic upgrade from within Piwigo, will it overwrite the changes I made that fits the design of my site? If so, what do you suggest that would make it easier to upgrade?
Environment
Piwigo 11.5.0 Check for upgrade
Operating system: Linux
PHP: 7.4.33 (Show info) [2025-07-28 18:39:12]

Re: Upgrade question
Hi cbiweb,
It all depends on how you applied your changes. It you modified core templates, then yes for sure, your changes will be overwritten. If you you only used plugin LocalFiles Editor, your changes will be safe. It doesn't mean your changes will work "out of the box" after upgrade. Your changes may require some kind of upgrade themselves.
