XF 2.0 Upgrading XF1.5.x to XF 2.0.5 - with a "clean architecture" as a basis?

[7emper5i]

Hi guys,

I would like to update my forum. However, this was previously extended by various modifications.

Is there a way to reduce XF1.5x back to its original basic elements?


phpBB had a function for both the database and the files.


If I just copy the current data to the existing software, then I keep all the superfluous files.

Thank you

Hi @7emper5i

If you have shell/direct access to your server you can run this in-built XenForo command:

(or you can move/delete the files manually)

Add-on database tables you'll need to remove manually as they are left as-is to allow add-on developers to upgrade your data from XF 1.5 > XF 2 versions.
