My site currently runs on an older release of aMember and I need it brought up to the latest stable version without losing a single user, payment record, or piece of content. The job starts with a complete, reliable backup of the entire installation—database, membership files, and the custom payment-gateway plugin that powers our subscriptions. Once that safety net is in place, you’ll perform the in-place upgrade, handle any database migrations the new version requires, and ensure the custom gateway keeps processing recurring payments exactly as it does now. I’m comfortable skipping a separate staging server, so the work will be done directly on production; rock-solid rollback preparedness is therefore essential. I’ll consider the task finished when: • The site is running the newest aMember release. • All member data, content, and payment functionality are verified intact. • No error logs or broken links appear after 48 hours of live use. If you’ve already navigated this upgrade path before, let me know your timeframe and any quick questions you need answered to get started.
