Featured Products CE v3.1 (Phoenix Cart)
Upgrade instructions
======================================

9 September 2026

Upgrade from version 3.0 to 3.1

1. Back up your store files and database.

2. Upload and replace all addon files, preserving any customizations. If you use a template other than "override", also update its featured_products.php page template.

3. Note the settings of one Featured Products module you use, then uninstall and reinstall it to apply the database update. Either content module or the box module can be used. Leave the database-deletion setting at its default, "False".

4. Restore the module settings and check that your featured products display correctly.

Reinstalling one module is enough to update the shared table. The installer adds the unique product index only if needed. If it reports duplicate entries, keep the intended entry for each product and retry installation.

For a fresh installation, see Install_manual.txt.

Earlier upgrades
================

The following instructions apply to the corresponding older releases. Back up your store before updating and restore any module settings after reinstallation.

[catalog/] means your store root; [catalog/admin/] means your administration directory.
