How to upgrade to#

We assume you are upgrading from django CMS 3.11.1.

Please make sure that your current database is consistent and in a healthy state, and make a copy of the database before proceeding further.

Check your settings of CMS_LANGUAGES (if used), as it was ignored by default in preceding versions. For more information, please see: https://github.com/django-cms/django-cms/pull/6795

Then run:

python manage.py migrate  # to ensure that your database is up-to-date with migrations
python manage.py cms fix-tree

Check custom code and third-party applications for use of deprecated or removed functionality or APIs (see above). Some third-party components may need to be updated.

Install the new version of django CMS from GitHub or via pip.

Run:

python manage.py migrate

to apply the new migrations.
