Title: What is best way to upgrade from 1.1.11
Post by: besnetta on August 10, 2016, 10:25:25 AM
I kept up with "upgrades" from about 1.1.1 to 1.1.11 but was naughty and stopped upgrading when there was some type of controversy or struggle over control of SMF.  Is there a way to upgrade from 1.1.11 to 1.1.17 without going to 1.1.12 to 1.1.13 to ...  Love the Forum but can't put in as much time as I would like.

I have never been hacked or had any real problems even though I have several modifications and a custom script.
However, the latest warning made me nervous.
Thanks.  Very grateful to the people who wrote and maintain SMF.

Just use the package manager to install the latest updates there should be a link to install all the minor versions.

you should be looking at upgrading to SMF 2.0 instead of sticking with the upgrades in the 1.1.* branch. SMF 1.1* is basically at the end of its life and is not really getting any further support or updates.
