For those upgrading their development or newly established sites, you will need the full upgrade routine as well as some other steps for the upgrade.
When doing the upgrade, you should disable all the 3rd party apps including themes and language packs installed on your site. In version 4.6.0, we have defined new standards for future. This is the big upgrade with many improvements in layout structure. Hence, it may obviously take more time for our Experts to make their products fully compatible with 4.6.0. In case you would like to experience 3rd-party apps on 4.6.0 Beta, please contact their vendors to check for the compatible versions first. They have been in the process of testing the compatibility since the release of Developer Build.

Your Feedback Matters
The official release of phpFox 4.6.0 will be in Jan 2018. To manage the quality of this big upgrade and get your feedback for essential improvements in soonest time, we decided to release the Beta version for now although there are still some known issues such as:
- Issue of lack permission when upgrading phpFox along with default apps directly from version 3.9.0 to 4.6.0
- Users can’t change password if signing up via Facebook
- Break characters are removed in status post
- Suggestions widget/block does not refresh when a friend request is sent.
- And some minor defects.
However, our team is going to resolve them ALL before the official release for sure.
