I have been getting more spam recently so decided to update to the latest Concrete5 build so I could take advantage of the built-in Google Recaptcha3 support. On update I received and error code and had to reinstall a backup of my site so it took a lot longer than normal. I was recieving an error when the website tried to automatically update the database and hopefully by posting how I fixed it this will save some other people some time.

It's official, according to www.softwarereviews.com Concrete5, my Content Management System of choice ranks no1 for Web Experience Management. These scores are created from user reviews so they give a good idea of the actual facilities and ease of use that the software provides.
