Order of updates

At the end of the Month, we're due a major (yes, it's our fault for leaving it so long...) upgrade to a site I'm helping to support.

ZP 1.6.2 (with matching ZPBootstrap) to ZP 1.6.8 (with latest ZPBootstrap, downloaded the day before)

As an ex-software developer - it scares me to make two major software upgrades, at the same time, and then be left wondering "what broke?" (We've done ZP upgrades before, so I'm used to closing the site, backing up the database, deleting then re-copying index.php, zp-core etc)

Best Ideas: -

  • Close the site down, update everything, hope for the best
  • Update ZP 1.6.2 to 1.6.8, bring it back up (knowing there will be issues with the Theme), then update ZPBootstrap
  • Update ZPBootstrap, check things are generally OK, then update ZP 1.6.2 to 1.6.8

Thoughts welcome...
