Updating Drupal 7 Modules

Before You Begin

  • Installatron does not upgrade modules, so even if you use Installatron to manage your Drupal core upgrades, module updates must still be done manually.

  • If you are managing a Drupal 8 or later site via Composer, you do not want to use the following instructions, as all updates will be handled through composer.

Updating Drupal 7 Core Manually

Before You Begin

  • The instructions below are for moving between different releases of the same major version of Drupal (e.g. 7.x, 8.x. etc.)  Please see our Site Migrations section for more details on moving to the next major version of Drupal, which is a much more involved process.

  • If you are managing a Drupal 8 or later site via Composer, you do not want to use the following instructions, as all updates will be handled through composer.

Updating Drupal 7 Core Via Installatron

Before You Begin

  • To be able to use this method of upgrading, your Drupal site must have been created via Installatron or imported into Installatron.
  • Please note that if you installed the Drupal application via Installatron with the update automatically setting, you will not need to go through these steps, as Installat ron will update the site as soon as the new release is posted.
  • Important!!! Installatron will overwrite your .htaccess
