Before you update, please read the following important notes:

  1. Study the changelog — there are changes you should be aware of:
    Changelog

  2. Upgrade on a test environment first to make sure everything works as you expect.

  3. Backup, backup, backup!
    Before you do anything, make sure you can restore if something goes wrong. The update to Gantry 5.5.x is a one-way process — you cannot downgrade back to Gantry 5.x without using your restore.

  4. Clear browser and server cache after updating.

  5. Template support:
    Alongside Gantry 5.5.x, compatible versions of the Helium and Hydrogen themes have been released ONLY. This upgrade has not been tested with other RT themes via Tiger12 - other community members have tested it .Tiger12 (now running Gantry) does not provide free support on Rocket Club Themes. We do offer a paid service to help in any upgrades.

  6. Cosmetic/layout changes:
    Some things may look different after migrating, which may require you to write or amend your custom.scss.
