Updating BloggFast

How to pull updates from the BloggFast source and apply them to your project.

Last updated:

Lifetime Access updates

Lifetime Access plan holders receive notifications when new versions of BloggFast are released. Updates include new features, bug fixes, and dependency upgrades. Check your purchase email for the latest download link or repository access.

Note

Starter plan holders receive the version at time of purchase only. Upgrade to Lifetime Access to receive future updates.

Applying updates manually

Since you own the code and likely have customizations, updates are applied manually rather than via a package. The recommended approach:

  1. Download or pull the latest BloggFast version
  2. Use a diff tool (GitHub, VS Code's diff viewer) to compare your version with the new one
  3. Apply changes selectively — copy new features and fixes into your project without overwriting your customizations
  4. Pay special attention to changes in prisma/schema.prisma, src/lib/, and API routes
  5. Run npm install to update dependencies
  6. Run Prisma migrations if the schema changed
  7. Test thoroughly before deploying

Updating npm dependencies

Keep dependencies up to date to get security patches and performance improvements:

bash
# Check for outdated packages
npm outdated

# Update all packages to latest minor/patch versions
npm update

# Update a specific package
npm install next@latest

Warning

Always test after updating Next.js. Major versions may include breaking changes. Check the Next.js upgrade guide before updating across major versions.
