Package Update Report

Purpose

This page records the package baseline after the April 2026 Grav and plugin updates.

It is intended to help site administrators confirm that localhost and the live site are running the same Grav core, theme, and plugin versions before further technical work is started.

Summary

Checked on: 30 April 2026

Status:

  • Localhost and live Grav core versions match.
  • Localhost and live plugin versions match.
  • The Learn2 theme version was previously confirmed as matching.
  • Backups were completed before the live update.
  • Codex Hub export and HiDrive website-file backup scripts were checked after permission fixes.

Main conclusion:

The live site and localhost now have a consistent package baseline.

Grav Core

Package Localhost Live
Grav Core 1.7.52 1.7.52

Theme

Theme Localhost Live
Learn2 1.8.2 1.8.2

Custom theme note:

  • The site uses members-hub as the overlay theme.
  • The original Learn2 theme should not be modified directly.
  • Custom theme work should remain in user/themes/members-hub.

Update Notes

The live site was updated after localhost had first been updated and checked.

The larger plugin version changes included:

  • Comments Pro updated to 2.0.0.
  • License Manager updated to 2.0.1.
  • Email updated to 5.0.1.
  • Form updated to 9.1.1.
  • Problems updated to 3.0.0.

Comments Pro is a paid plugin and should continue to be updated through Grav Admin or the supplier-supported route rather than by copying plugin folders manually.

Backup and Sync Checks

Before and during the update work, the following operational checks were made:

  • Plesk backup was used as the primary full-site backup route.
  • Plesk remote FTPS storage points to IONOS HiDrive.
  • Codex Hub export was repaired after ownership problems caused report-writing errors.
  • The Codex Hub export completed successfully as gallyvps.
  • The website-file rsync backup to HiDrive completed successfully.
  • The rsync backup script now skips /var/lib/psa/dumps when run as gallyvps, because Plesk dump backups are handled by Plesk remote FTPS backup.

Relevant scripts:

  • /var/www/vhosts/coulsdonclubmembers.info/scripts/export_localhost_sync_v1.0.sh
  • /var/www/vhosts/coulsdonclubmembers.info/scripts/backup_site_to_hidrive.v1.0.sh
  • /var/www/vhosts/coulsdonclubmembers.info/scripts/backupsite_to_hidrive.v1.0.sh

Working Rules After This Update

  • Treat the live server as the source of truth for content.
  • Treat localhost as the development and update test environment.
  • Do not copy paid plugin folders between local and live unless there is a clear reason and a backup exists.
  • Use Grav Admin for plugin updates wherever possible.
  • Use Codex Hub for comparison and inspection, not as a disaster recovery backup.
  • Use Plesk remote FTPS backup as the main disaster recovery route.

Next Review

Review this package baseline after the next Grav core or plugin update.

Recommended checks after future updates:

  • Visit the homepage.
  • Visit Member Hub.
  • Visit Site Admin.
  • Confirm Grav Admin login works.
  • Test a Comments Pro page.
  • Test at least one form/email flow.
  • Run Codex Hub export.
  • Confirm backups have completed.
