It's just the disable_functions configuration value in php.ini.

My live site is still on 1.1.1

Can I just upgrade it to 1.3.0 (when released) or do I have to upgrade it to 1.2 first?

Andrej · Feb 15, 2014

Do all releases have to be installed in sequence or can I skip a version?
You can upgrade from the current version to any later version, safely missing out any interim releases.

And a follow-on, the guide/resource says compatible with v1.1. Is there not some add-ons that are incompatible with v1.2 (from v1.2 upgrade guide) and should probably reference that thread too?

I think that refers to incremental releases like 1.1.1 to 1.1.5 where there are only bug fixes

I'm not sure if it applies to whole version releases where there are major changes.

Yeah I'll be doing a test upgrade or two first

No, it applies to any later version. Meaning any release.

You can upgrade from any version to any later version.

However, going from 1.1 to 1.3, you will also need to check the 1.2 resource.

Hi,
I removed all add-on and tried to upgrade XF but got blank page.

ineedhelp · Mar 4, 2014

How many Steps are there to the upgrade?

I'm on Step 8.

Mike · Mar 4, 2014

26, but they will be of significantly varying lengths. However, some will take some time on a large board.

Ok thanks.... I'm on Rebuilding Templates, so it should be done any moment now.

Just wondering if there is a timeline for this. I just purchased XF and am working on a dev server right now practicing imports and working on vbseo nginx rules so that the changeover can go smoothly.

My big question is that if I am targeting a change over the weekend of 15-16 March should I be using 1.2.5 or a 1.3 beta to test with. If 1.3 will be out by that weekend then I may just practice with that route.

Paul B · Mar 6, 2014

1.3 is currently RC2.
The next release will be next week and that could be RC3 or stable.

If I was you, I would go with 1.3.

Thank you for this insight!

I have a bunch of addons. Any help please? I can't access Admin now as it just says "waiting to be upgraded". Help!

I made a test copy of my 1.2.5 forum, uninstalled ALL add-ons except Nodes as Tabs 1.2.2 and now get this error, note the "duplicate entry" error is different this time. I have no idea what to do....

Ignore the error and retry (possible just refresh, alternatively you may need to go to <install>/upgrade/ again). It will get passed it.
