# Script Update Instructions

{% hint style="warning" %}
Before you begin updating the script, please review the list of changes in the new version of the **Premium Exchanger** script in the "[**Updates**](https://premiumexchanger.com/obnovleniya/)" section.

The standard theme has been updated, so if you upload theme files from the previous version, any code modifications you made to the standard theme will be lost. If you want to keep your code changes in the standard theme, do not upload the standard theme from the distribution during the update. Otherwise, we cannot guarantee the proper functioning of your website.

If you are using a unique theme that was **custom-made by us**, please contact technical support for theme adaptation before updating the script. To do this, send a zip file of your theme from the **`wp-content/themes`** folder (<mark style="color:red;">**note that for updating the script from version 2.5 to 2.6, theme updates are not required!**</mark>)\*\*.

Design updates on our end may take up to 10 days.

If you are using a unique theme that you or third-party specialists developed, you will need to adapt the theme **yourself** after updating the script.

If you are using additional paid modules, please contact [technical support](https://premiumexchanger.com/podderzhka/) for updated versions of the modules.

You may need to update **ionCube Loader** and **WordPress** for the script to function correctly.

### Troubleshooting After the Update

* If the admin panel is not functioning correctly, replace the `userdata.php` file with the one from this page located in the `wp-content/plugins/premiumbox` folder, if the contents of the file on your server do not match the code provided below (except for the passwords specified in quotes):

{% file src="/files/olQIndMAoI7CKjBPkete" %}

<details>

<summary>userdata.php (base file)</summary>

```php
<?php
/*
Please be careful! This file should only be edited in UTF-8 without (BOM).
*/

/**************** user data ******************/

	/* 
	Security code for merchant settings and auto payouts
	*/
	if(!defined('MERCH_ACTION_PASSWORD')){
		define('MERCH_ACTION_PASSWORD', '');
	}
	
	/* 
	Security code to confirm payments
	*/
	if(!defined('PAY_ACTION_PASSWORD')){
		define('PAY_ACTION_PASSWORD', '');
	}

	/* 
	Security code for editing orders
	*/
	if(!defined('EDIT_ACTION_PASSWORD')){
		define('EDIT_ACTION_PASSWORD', '');
	}	
	
	/* 
	Code for encrypting data of merchants and auto payouts (set once). Use an arbitrary set of numbers and letters as a code.
	*/
	if (!defined('EXT_SALT')) {
		define('EXT_SALT', '');
	}
	
	/* 
	Personal hash for cron URLs and files with exchange rates
	*/
	if(!defined('PN_HASH_CRON')){
		define('PN_HASH_CRON', '');
	}	

	if(!defined('PN_ADMIN_GOWP')){
		define('PN_ADMIN_GOWP', 'false'); 
	}

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://premium.gitbook.io/main/en/before-starting-work/script-update-instructions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
