Upgrade Path from Older Versions of Movable Type

Upgrade Path from Older Versions of Movable Type | MovableType.org - Home of the MT Community

Because of various schema improvements throughout the lifetime of Movable Type, the following upgrade path is recommended.
Movable Type 5.x ¶

From the current version of MT you are on, upgrade through each of these key versions of Movable Type to get to MT5.

1. MT3.2 - MT-3.32.zip
2. MT3.3x - MT-3.38-en.zip
3. MT4.x - latest stable version of MT4
4. MT5 - latest stable version of MT5

Movable Type 4.x ¶

From the current version of MT you are on, upgrade through each of these key versions of Movable Type to get to MT4.

1. MT3.2 - MT-3.32.zip
2. MT3.3x - MT-3.38-en.zip
3. MT4 - latest stable version of MT4

Tip: Other older versions of Movable Type are available in the Movable Type Archive.

This path is recommended solely based on the fact that Six Apart does not extensively test the upgrade process between versions more than one major version apart. While technically an upgrade from MT2.6 to MT5 or MT4 should work and there are no known issues with upgrading in this fashion, we can only offer upgrade support to users upgrading from one version at a time.
