The WP-DB-Backup plugin makes performing backups as simple as clicking a few links in the admin panel. Even simpler, it can be set to automatically perform back-ups at set time intervals and email the zipped files to you.

This article will focus on the steps you need to take to successfully upgrade your phpFox installation.

phpFox offers a new stable version every few months with the new development cycle they have put in place.  It is important to understand that although you may want to upgrade immediately to take advantage of the newer and better features in the new release, you will likely want to wait a week or more, to make sure that the developers of the addons and templates you have purchased have released their updates.
