How to Back-up and Update
Because we are continuously enhancing our plugins, there are significant file structure changes from your old version that might no longer be compatible or existing in the newest version so you will want to just backup/rename the current /wp-content/plugins/rb-agency/ folder first to something like rb-agency-date and then copy the file /styles/style.css file (as this is your design related file). Then upload the new files to /rb-agency/ as a fresh install and copy the style.css file to /assets/css/style.css this will maintain the current styles.
To ensure no data or functionality will be lost, it is always good to backup first the below files:
1. Profile Database – you can download using the RB Agency csv/xls importer tool found in Tools and Reports
2. Website Database – you can download this when you log in to your phpMyAdmin
3. Stylesheet (for old version) – you can download via ftp, just locate the /rbagency/styles/style.css
4. Stylesheet (for new versions) – go to …/wp-admin/admin.php?page=rb_agency_settings&ConfigID=2 then copy the stylesheet in notepad.
When you are done downloading the above files, please see below for step by step instructions.
1. Download the file from GitHub repository (or if the support sent you the zipped file via email) and save it on your computer.
