🚀 How to Upgrade BookingCore to Version 4.0.0

⚠️ Note: This version is a major update. The folder structure has been changed, so the update process is more complex than before. Please follow these steps carefully.

Step 1: Upgrade PHP Version

• Make sure your server is running PHP 8.2.
• If you're using localhost, you may need to restart your local server after upgrading PHP.

Step 2: Backup Important Files from the Old BookingCore Folder (Usually public_html)

Navigate to your current BookingCore directory and back up the following:

• .env file
• storage/installed file
• public/uploads folder

Step 3: Remove Old Code

Inside the BookingCore directory (commonly public_html), delete all existing files and folders.

Step 4: Upload the New Version

Unzip the bookingcore400.zip package and upload the new version to your hosting server.

Step 5: Restore Your Backup

Copy the backup files and folders into the new structure as follows:

• .env → move into the bc-cms folder
• public/uploads (from old version) → move into the new public_html/uploads folder
• storage/installed → move into bc-cms/storage/installed

Step 6: Finish the Update

Once everything is in place, go to your website URL and reload the page. The system should now be running on BookingCore version 4.0.0.

📌 Additional Notes

• This update restructures the codebase and directories, which is why manual actions are required.
• If you encounter a blank page or server error, make sure your .env file is correctly configured, and permissions are set properly.
• Clear your browser cache and refresh after completing the upgrade.
