upgrade plugin
This plugin performs an update of the wiki to a new version when such is released. Admins can't help but know when there has been a new release as a warning alerting them is then displayed at the top of every wiki page when they are signed in.
Before running, it is a good practice to mirror the wiki onto a locally-stored copy as a backup. Also, check first for any new update to the plugin. If so, it may prevent problems after updating the plugin to then exit and re-enter the Admin page before running it.
The plugin is located under Additional Plugins > Wiki Upgrade
on the Admin page and listed as “DokuWiki Upgrade Plugin” toward the end of the Extension Manager
page.
It's simple to run, leading the admin through the steps of the process like a wizard.
