XF 1.3 Upgrade Issue?

[digital150]

Hi,

Basically I need to upgrade my forum from 1.1.3 to 1.3. However I'm not and never have been very good with this. I own http://promotion-box.com and I wanted to know if anybody can see anything that will cause a problem or 'break' if I upgrade to 1.3??

The following are the addons I use.

You need to read these resources:

http://xenforo.com/community/resources/how-to-upgrade-to-xenforo-1-2.2397/

http://xenforo.com/community/resources/how-to-upgrade-to-xenforo-1-3.2810/

This is a very big upgrade and will require planning and research.

Thanks. The issue is, I have absolutely no idea whether my add ons are compatible or not. I don't want to try upgrading because I've got no idea how to restore etc if it goes wrong. I'm a total noob at that stuff. Hence why I posted a list of what ones I use to determine if there are any known problems.

I would also suggest making a test forum with a copy of your live setup so you get a idea of what will cause conflicts and such. Simple to do and that way no harm is done to your live board.

Indeed.

There's another resource here for that: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/how-to-duplicate-a-live-site-to-use-as-a-test-site.2792/
