How we update Tutor LMS safely
Updating core and Pro together
Tutor LMS Pro defines the core version it requires and shows a notice instead of running when the versions do not match. We always update the two together, on staging first.
What we test after updates
Login and registration, buying a course with each payment method, enrollment, the student dashboard, lesson completion, a quiz attempt, assignments and certificates if you use them, emails, and the instructor dashboard. If anything fails, live is not touched until it is fixed.
Template overrides
We keep a list of the Tutor LMS templates your theme overrides and compare them with the new versions after each update, so outdated overrides are caught early.
Major versions
Big releases such as Tutor LMS 4 change the learning area and design. We plan these as small projects with you rather than clicking update. See our maintenance checklist.
