Upgrading: version 2.6 to 2.6

• To update any 2.6 version, simply replace the paged-comments.php file with the one in the latest release. You do not need to make any changes to the config file.

Note: You may want to check the language/theme folder for new files — although if you’re happy with your current setup there’s no need to copy these files over.

Upgrading: version 2.5 to 2.6.x

1. Download and extract 2.6 plugin files to a folder locally.
2. Upload the whole paged-comments directory to [wordpress]/wp-content/plugins/. The plugin files should now be in [wordpress]/wp-content/plugins/paged-comments/.
3. Copy [wordpress]/wp-content/plugins/paged-comments-config.php to the new [wordpress]/wp-content/plugins/paged-comments/ directory.
4. Disable version 2.5 in your WordPress admin panel. (You should see both 2.5 and 2.6 listed.)
5. Enable version 2.6.
6. If everything is working okay, delete the old paged-comments.php and paged-comments-config.php files from [wordpress]/wp-content/plugins/.

Upgrading: version 2.5 to 2.5

• To update any version of 2.5, simply replace the paged-comments.php file with the one in the latest release. You do not need to make any changes to the config file.

Upgrading: version 1 (only date as version) to 2

1. Download and extract plugin files to a folder locally.
2. Open your existing paged-comments.php file from your plugins folder and copy the plugin parameters to a new file. The parameters are everything between the START EDITING and END EDITING markers. Save the file as ‘paged-comments-config.php’.
3. Replace your existing paged-comments.php file with the one supplied in the latest plugin release.
4. Upload paged-comments-config.php (created in step 2) to the same folder holding paged-comments.php.
5. The extracted plugin archive includes a ‘themes’ folder. Look inside and open the subfolder corresponding to the WordPress theme you’re using (or if your theme isn’t listed, choose the ‘default’ folder). Upload the comments-paged.php file to the appropriate WordPress theme folder (found in wp-content/themes/).

   For example, if you’re using the default WordPress theme, copy /paged-comments-plugin/themes/default/comments-paged.php to /wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/

6. Within the theme folder (where you uploaded comments-paged.php in the previous step), edit any template files that include the line:

   include(ABSPATH.'/wp-paged-comments.php');

   and replace with this line:

   if (function_exists('paged_comments_template')) paged_comments_template(); else comments_template();
