No - it should be a non-destructive operation. Make sure you download the "upgrade" files from your new license, not the "full install" files. Obviously, do a full backup of all your files and your database first, just in case.

This is a question best answered by XF staff but my understanding is that the licence key is embedded in the php files you download from XF and upload to your site. As a result all you need to do is upload the php files from your new licence replacing all of the existing files and you'll be...

Clear policies is the first step - let your members know what is expected and what is not permitted. While I do have a policy forbidding any AI generated content, sometimes it is useful to have an AI summary of something - provided that it is clearly documented as being AI generated. I was...

At the end of the day - just do whatever works best for you. If I wasn't sure, I would do both - duplicate the site and do a test upgrade on another server and then you can also use that upgraded site to test an import to a clean install - see which one works better for you before you do it on...

Uninstalling addons before upgrading should get you a clean installation for very little effort on your part. I also suggest reverting your site to use the default XF1.5 template before starting the upgrade. As far as I can tell, there is no import mechanism to go from XF 1.5 to a 2.3 forum -...

I didn't say it wasn't a good idea - I said it wasn't the best way to do it. The simplest way is exactly how I described - clean things up first and then do the upgrade. You need to understand the differences in how the import process works compared to just doing an upgrade so you can make an...

See my tutorial on how to use composer packages in addons: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/using-composer-packages-in-xenforo-2-1-addons-tutorial.7432/ Here is the command I run in my build.json if I use composer: { "exec": [ "composer install...

I don't think that's the best way to do things, but if you insist - you should upgrade the old site to XF 2.3 first (no need to clean other stuff up) and then run the XenForo importer on your new XF2.3 site. You can download it from your customer area - there is a XenForo 2.x importer included...

When you delete an addon the files should get removed. You could also just go and check each time you uninstall an addon - most of the addon files should be in the same location. Once you've upgraded to XF 2.x and upgraded any addons you want to keep, anything that's left will remain in the...

I've been testing XF 1.5 - XF 2.3 upgrades for one of my big sites while I finalise the new design. Hoping to be ready to upgrade within the next few weeks. Any well-built addons should clean up after themselves during uninstall. I suggest you do an audit of all installed addons - anything you...

You posted the output of some tool without understanding the nature of the issue or first checking for youself that the problem actually exists. I thought my response was pretty measured actually and I was happy to leave it at that. Of course it is mentioned - but not everything listed in...

That's a pretty simplistic system when it can't even tell the difference between a composer "require" and a "require-dev" :rolleyes: phpunit is not a part of the Geoblock addon - it's used in my development code for testing and then removed when the addon is built. Nobody should ever be using...

Yeah, I just moved some sites to a new server and got that "Trying to access array offset on false" error when looking at the Cloudflare settings page in the XF admin area. These sites were using the old API-created tokens and I suspect they were tied to a specific IP address (I can't tell...

There's been ongoing issues with mail deliverability to all Microsoft email domains - including hotmail.com and outlook.com This will be affecting all websites which send emails - it's not a XenForo specific issue.
