Updates & Repair
Understand Framework-first updates, Suite updates and data-safe repair.
- 1Back up your store files and database before updates; check the current Framework and Suite versions.
- 2Update Framework first if the Suite Manager requires it. Then update the purchased Suite with its supported workflow.
- 3Run Complete Setup or Repair only when prompted or after a verified incomplete installation, then check one known working feature.
The Suite Manager reports an up-to-date installation and the existing settings/data remain intact.
Tip: Repair is not a reset; verify that a backup exists and investigate an error message before retrying repeatedly.
Keep the Framework current before installing newer Suite packages and use Repair when operational setup needs to be restored.
Safe update order
What a normal Suite update does
The Framework discovers the Suite components and runs setup only where required for missing or newer component versions. It also refreshes permissions/caches and records the resulting state.
What is Repair?
Repair is like asking HuntBee to check and restore its operational setup. It can recreate missing schema safely, synchronize HuntBee-owned events and refresh component setup while preserving customer settings and business data.
Before a major OpenCart upgrade

- Read the OpenCart release notes and HuntBee compatibility information.
- Prefer a staging/test copy for a major upgrade.
- Update OpenCart and required dependencies.
- Update the HuntBee Framework and Suite to versions intended for the newer OpenCart release.
- Test checkout, products, categories, URLs, theme output and SEO Health before treating the upgrade as complete.
