If you are upgrading Zap Calendar from a previous release, follow these instructions for a smooth install.

Step 1: Backup your site and MySQL database

Backup your site to ensure you can return to your site's previous state just in case something goes wrong during the upgrade.

Step 2: Re-Install the Zap Calendar Component

Starting with version 2.0.7, all plugins, modules and component are Joomla upgradeable. This means you can re-install any of these items without first uninstalling them from Joomla. In other words, plugin settings, custom templates and added category icons are all retained during the upgrade process. Beware if you have modified an existing theme in Zap Calendar, it will be replaced by the upgrade. If you plan on customizing an existing theme, you should copy it first to a new folder so the theme will not be overwritten by future installs.

Upgrading from a version older than 2.2.15 will require a database update.  Follow the on-screen instructions for updating the database.

Step 3: Re-Install Zap Calendar Modules

There is no need to un-install Zap Calendar modules, just simply install over the current versions. This will retain the module settings.

Step 4: Re-Install Zap Calendar Plugins

There is no need to un-install Zap Calendar plugins, just simply install over the current versions. This will retain the plugin settings.  When installing new plugins, make sure you enable them in the Joomla Plugin Manager screen, since they are disabled by default.
