As always, new releases of XenForo are free to download for all customers with active licenses, who may now grab the new version from the customer area.

Note: add-ons, customizations and styles made for XenForo 1.x are not compatible with XenForo 2.x. If your site relies upon these for essential functionality, ensure that a XenForo 2 version exists before you start to upgrade. We strongly recommend you make a backup before attempting an upgrade.

Current Requirements

Please note that XenForo 2.1.x has higher system requirements than XenForo 1.x.

The following are minimum requirements:

• PHP 5.6 or newer (PHP 7.3 recommended)
• MySQL 5.5 and newer (Also compatible with MariaDB/Percona etc.)
• All of the official add-ons require XenForo 2.1.
• Enhanced Search requires at least Elasticsearch 2.0.

Installation and Upgrade Instructions for XenForo 2.1

Full details of how to install and upgrade XenForo can be found in the XenForo 2 Manual.

If you are already running XF 2.1 or above we strongly recommend upgrading directly from within your control panel.

Note that when upgrading from XenForo 1.x, all add-ons will be disabled and style customizations will not be maintained. New versions of add-ons will need to be installed and customizations will need to be redone. We strongly recommended that you make a backup before attempting an upgrade. Once upgraded, you will not be able to downgrade without restoring from a backup.
