The PageLines Framework is a major new release to the previous PlatformPro product. When upgrading from Platform Pro there are some things to consider.

  • Always back up your database before doing an upgrade
  • All data will be untouched; your posts, pages and content will all remain intact in the database.
  • Default option settings have changed in 2.0 so any default options set in PlatformPro will be removed in the upgrade
  • Section control has changed in 2.0 to be more flexible and as a result these settings will need to be reset after the upgrade
  • PageLines 2.0 has been upgraded to incorporate HTML 5 and some of the html structure has changed. Sites with heavy CSS customizations will need to make changes to their CSS after the move.
  • In 2.0, there is no longer a Base child theme that handles custom code. Instead, use the PageLines Customize Plugin. You can still use the Custom Code Settings to make changes to CSS as an alternate method.
