Hi,
I'm currently on version 1.4.0.3 and was looking to see how I can upgrade to the latest version. I have modified my albumb.php, image.php, index.php and the css for my theme files.
Is there a way to upgrade without overwriting my changes?
Cheers
Andy

Make a copy of what?
All I did after my initial installation was to to add some code to the album, image and index.php files.
Can you take me through what I should do if I wanted to make changes to those files. Is there a better way?
Sorry I'm now more confused
Follow the upgrade instructions http://www.zenphoto.org/news/installation-and-upgrading#2
(Be sure to also make backups of your albumsfolder, uploaded folder and backup folder)
Put back your modified theme folder after the upgrade.
If you don't overwrite hte contents of the themes folder completly and just replace the standard themess your custom theme won't be overwritten.
Same with any plugin you may have modified. (You of course should NEVER modify core files.)
Of course if you modified an very old version of the theme it might need an update. Then you have to either update the modified theme or reapply your changes to a new version (and do all above again).
See http://www.zenphoto.org/news/installation-and-upgrading#4 for an explanation of what files to update.
Appreciate your help
