Why The Upgrade

We started using Plone over 6 years ago. During that time the number of sites has grown so quickly that there was never time to upgrade previous versions unless the site owner requested the upgrade. We currently have 8 different versions of plone. We will not only be upgrading Plone but will be upgrading all the products (Plugins) that we have installed (ex. Plone Form Gen). Having fewer versions of Plone will increase our ability to support you and to address security, some user interface issues, and take advantages of new technologies that weren't available 6 years ago.

  1. All of your content that has been moved over is in a "private" state. 
  2. Look over all the pages on your site and, update the content. If you need to reorganize content do so at this time. 
  3. Publish the page you have finished reviewing.
  4. FontAwesome has been integrated so with a some copy and pasting you will be able to add a series of nice looking icons.

Going Live

Once you have finished reviewing your pages and have set a home page, email Brian Ledwell at ledwell@uwosh.edu to let him know you are ready for your site to go-live.
