    What steps did you follow to do the upgrade?

    It appears that you've missed running zc_install to upgrade your database portion.

    If you look, you'll see that it's telling you that your Zen Cart files are at v1.3.8 level, but you've not upgraded your database to match.

    So, finish your upgrade ...

    You have to upgrade your database as well as the PHP files. Uploading zc_install and running it ... will give you a database-upgrade option.

    BETTER YET ... READ THE UPGRADE DOCS ... they're located in the /docs/ folder of your Zen Cart files. They're also in the online Tutorials/FAQs area.
    Upgrade Summary:
    https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=98
    Upgrade Details: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=108

    It still baffles me why people don't read instructions ...

    Sorry -- please understand, I don't mean to take these comments personally ... just to draw attention to the answers already provided.

    Wait a minute DrByte.

    You want us to actually READ the instructions? Whats this? No download directly into the brain? What kind of upgrade is this? haha.

    Sorry, I couldn't resist.

    Default Re: error Your database appears to need patching

    I never received a data base upgrade option. I followed the instructs to a tee spent close to 3 hours to get where my site is now. I am going to have to "downgrade" by restoring my backups of the site, unless there is something else I can do? should I restore the install folder and see if that option appears?
