Update Drupal core

Take a breath and read Drupal's Upgrading form previous versions first. This upgrade will update your Drupal core to the version 7.14. We assume that you are currently using a 7.x version so it's about a "Minor update procedure".

  1. Locate the root folder of your site.This is the Drupal's root folder, where the index.php file is located.
  2. Delete all Drupal files and folders except the [sites] folder.
  3. Copy all Drupal files and folders from your temporary installation except the [sites] folder.
  4. Login to your Drupal installation as administration user, your site should still work as usual.
  5. Run the update.php file calling a url like http://www.example.com/update.php or http://www.example.com/test_site/update.php, if your site is located under a subdirectory.

Patch your Pressblog theme files

  1. Locate our theme folder in your temporary installation. Usually at [sites/all/themes/pressblog]
  2. Locate our theme folder in your drupal 7 site. Usually at [sites/all/themes/pressblog]
  3. Replace the following files in your installation, using the corresponding source files from the temporary installation
    1. pressblog.info
    2. style.css
    3. template.php
  4. Add the following files in your installation, using the corresponding source files from the temporary installation
