Upgrading from 1.5
We encourage all VIPs using Liveblog v1.5 to upgrade to this version by specifying the version parameter of wpcom_vip_load_plugin() like so;
wpcom_vip_load_plugin( ‘liveblog’, ‘plugins’, ‘1.6’ );
Upgrading from 1.3
This also means that we are now deprecating v1.3 and intend to remove the plugin in 1 month, on Monday, 30th October 2017. This upgrade will require us to assist you so please open a ticket with us when you have tested and are ready to upgrade.
