 Updates cannot be tested on every individual setup, for example, on every server host together with every possible Addon and individual configuration so it would not be surprising if some things do not work on some user's setups after updating.
-Therefore, first ensure all Addons that have been installed, which are not part of a CE Phoenix Cart installation (Core Code), have been updated to work on the newer version.
+Therefore, first ensure all Addons that have been installed, which are not part of CE Phoenix Cart Core Code, have been updated to work on the newer version.
 It is then advisable to apply updates to a Test Site first. Find fixes for things that do not work before applying the update to a Live Site.
 Fixes for add-ons should be found from the creator of the add-on, otherwise the Support Forum is very helpful.
