1- add a small tutorial on how to restrict all access to the forum via .htaccess 2- provide the path in the admin cp to deactivate/disable all plugins prior to the upgrade

@andrewjs18 "Restrict all access to the forum via .htaccess" - would you not be best recommending closing the site via the board offline setting? Just a quick suggestion. Also, give me a shout should you need a hand with this.

.htaccess restriction is better in case something goes wrong

andrewjs18 commented 8 years ago

The .htaccess already exists in the docs, it's just not on the upgrade page. once we get these page build failure errors fixed, I'll copy it over: http://docs.mybb.com/1.8/administration/security/recovery/#restrict-access-to-the-forum

The 2nd part is also easy to add, once the aforementioned issue is resolved.

Ben-MyBB commented 8 years ago

I'm going to start work on this now.

Ben-MyBB commented 8 years ago

This is completed, just need to merge @andrewjs18 's PR once the build errors are fixed.

andrewjs18 commented 8 years ago
