How do I upgrade the Threadloom plug-in from XenForo 1.x or 2.0.x, to XenForo 2.1.x?

Below are instructions for upgrading the Threadloom plug-in to XenForo 2.1.x, from an earlier platform version, i.e., XenForo 1.5.x or XenForo 2.0.x.

Upgrading from XenForo 1.5.x to 2.1

After upgrading XenForo from 1.5.x to 2.1, please submit a ticket so we can update your account.

After we have updated your account, you will need to download the latest Threadloom plug-in and install it via the add-on manager in XenForo 2.1. (XenForo 2.1 introduces the ability to install add-ons that have been archived from the admin panel.)

If you prefer to manually install the plug-in, follow these steps:

1. Download your new XenForo 2.1 plug-in ZIP file. 
2. Decompress the ZIP file.
3. Upload the extracted "Threadloom" folder to your server, following the path, "/addons/Threadloom/".
4. In Admin Control Panel, go to Home > Add-ons.
5. Click on Install next to the Threadloom plug-in.

Upgrading from XenForo 2.0.x to 2.1

After upgrading XenForo from 2.0.x to 2.1, no additional file changes or uploads are required. Please submit a ticket so we can update your account.

For all upgrades

• Once you've upgraded the Threadloom plug-in, we will re-sync your index.  As a result, depending on the size of your index, Search and Newsletter may experience a delay.  On average, most forums re-sync about 250-500K posts per hour.
• If you are using a custom theme in XenForo 2.1, you may need to make additional changes via template modification.  Please see this article for instructions on editing custom styles.
