To upgrade, use the package manager to upgrade to 1.1.8. Simply visit your administration center, where a notice will be displayed, prompting you to upgrade. Then follow the simple instructions through the package installation!

If you cannot upgrade using the package manager, please follow the instructions posted in the Online Manual about installing and upgrading. If you experience a session verification error when inputting FTP details for updating process, please see this topic.
