Hello, Will,
RE: "

You should definitely do this work on a test site first, prior to porting the upgrades to the live site. This way, your client always has a presence, and you can test your work at your leisure knowing that his web presence is intact.
Cheers,

Hi all, i need to upgrade a template for a client from 4.7 to 5.3.
Swapping old versions of modules with 5.3-compatible ones is pretty straightforward. however, I am not super-confident with php, and this page has me worried:
Can I reasonably expect that if I go through all the template files in /themes/clienttemplate, and replace any of the functions the upgrade node says are new, that the upgrade will work?
what i want to avoid is getting in over my head, or causing the client's site to go down as I scramble to get someone to help me with an upgrade that I can't pull off. Also, i need to give the client a reasonable estimate of how much work the upgrade will take.
thanks!
