Yes .. and no.drrevans wrote: ↑Mon Nov 29, 2021 1:36 amI have been told by my provider that I need to upgrade to the latest version of Open Cart. I am at 1.5.4.1. I bought a theme years ago and I like it and that person is no longer providing updates. Is there some steps I can take to upgrade my theme so it doesn't break when I upgrade to the latest version of Open Cart?
1. have you the knowledge about the twig engine
2. have you the knowledge to edit css (stylesheets)
3. have you the knowledge to edit php code
If you can say 3 times yes, go ahead - and we will see us here in 1 week again (maybe, or 2, 3 ..).
If not, better post that as a "commercial request" here: viewforum.php?f=88
And a few final tips:
(A) do NOT upgrade BEFORE you have not updated the theme/template!
(B) always make a backup BEFORE you update (fiels and database)
(C) perform the update on a "dev" environement first, NEVER on the live shop (if everything went okay, you can go ahead and do it on the live shop)
(D) keep as long as possible the live shop alive (see tip (C) )

If the used theme/template is that unique or important for you, a migration might make sense - but beware, the cost for such will be around 600 - 800,- Euro.
Correct.
Finally, I guess you want to convert also the database data to have them again when updated.
This task needs a few more steps and from my experience (and search this forum here), you will need some assistence doing so - otherwise it will not work.

This is what is in session.php:
