No, you cannot use 1.3.4 database directly with 1.4.3
If you want to move to 1.4.3, the safer option is to export your products from 1.3.x and then import them back into a fresh 1.4.3 installation.
If you still have your 1.3.4 files and database, another option is to hire professionals to perform the upgrade for you. In that case, they may be able to migrate the store properly and preserve most of your existing data and setup.

Thank you for sharing this fix. This will definitely help others running into the same issue.
Quick question: Did you update using Softaculous or the native AbanteCart updater? It would be useful to know which method left the permissions at 0777.

General Support / Migration from older Abante ca...
Last post by AsatruAlliance - March 29, 2026, 03:23:00 PMafter having months of issues, and being unable to update (because c-panel/Installatron hates me?), and manual updates failing - I'm installing an entirely new version of Abante Cart - however, my old version/DBs are 1.3.2. While I did a full DB backup (the old site is still installed), I'm not certain that the old database will import into 1.4.3.
I would really love to not lose all my history (or have to re-load hundreds of products and options manually) - is there anything I can do, or am I just SOL?
I searched the forums, but can't locate anything that quite addresses my issue here.
Thanks so much for help in advance.

Installation and Configuration / Re: AbanteCart Version 1.4.3 -...
Last post by ixl - March 28, 2026, 09:27:06 AMHi,
Well thought I should maybe help you and others if they have this same issue, as I have finally fixed it myself.
The issue is with your updater, changed the permissions to the file task.php to 0777
Changing this to 0644 immediately resolved the issue. I have not seen any notes on changing this back after any updater, but I suggest its at least covered off in a future update release in case your scripts or softaculous' are incorrectly or not actually setting it back to what it is supposed to be.
Had nothing to do with hosting or server side permissions. Thought id let you know anyway.
CASE CLOSED.

General Discussion / Re: can not chenge my Logo
Last post by Niennow Amanda - March 24, 2026, 09:51:58 PMHey Jeffrysloan, changing logos can be tricky. First, check your site's documentation or theme settings. Sometimes, it's a simple setting. If that doesn't work, consider reaching out to your theme developer for direct support.

SEO / Re: How Important Is Link Buil...
Last post by John Mathew - March 13, 2026, 07:46:23 AMLink building plays a very significant role in modern SEO because it helps search engines evaluate the credibility, authority, and relevance of a website. When reputable websites link to your content, search engines like Google interpret those links as signals that your site provides valuable information. As a result, websites with strong backlink profiles often perform better in search engine rankings.
One of the main reasons link building is important is that it helps establish domain authority. High-quality backlinks from trusted and relevant websites indicate that your content is reliable and useful. This can improve your website's visibility in search results and make it easier for users to discover your content organically.
Another important aspect is referral traffic. Links placed on authoritative blogs, news sites, or industry platforms can bring targeted visitors directly to your website. These visitors are often already interested in the topic, which increases the chances of engagement and conversions.
However, it is important to note that link building is not just about quantity. Modern SEO focuses on the quality and relevance of backlinks rather than simply acquiring a large number of links. Search engines prioritize natural links from reputable sources and may penalize websites that rely on manipulative or spammy link-building tactics.
Because of this, many SEO professionals now focus on strategies such as guest posting, editorial outreach, and content-driven link acquisition. These approaches emphasize building relationships with publishers and creating valuable content that naturally attracts links. Industry discussions and case studies from outreach-focused platforms like Orange Outreach often highlight how structured outreach and ethical link-building practices contribute to sustainable SEO growth.
In summary, link building remains one of the core components of SEO. When done correctly, it improves website authority, increases organic visibility, and drives relevant traffic. The key is to focus on acquiring high-quality, relevant backlinks through ethical and strategic methods rather than relying on outdated link-building techniques.

Put the JavaScript in an HTML block and assign that block to the page layout where the form is shown.
There are other ways to add JavaScript too, such as directly in the template files, but using an HTML block is usually the easier method for this kind of task.
