Posted March 15Mar 15 It can be done, but it's not a clickable (automatic) solution like with WordPress, XenForo, or SMF. Has anyone tried to update phpBB? I know this forum was once phpBB so there has been some stories from here.
March 16Mar 16 Moderators It can be done, but it's not a clickable (automatic) solution like with WordPress, XenForo, or SMF. Has anyone tried to update phpBB? I know this forum was once phpBB so there has been some stories from here. We converted the data to Xenforo. We did not update the software. :D I have theoretical knowledge but never tried it personally. Admin Junkies * Sports Forum * ROFLMAO * Off Topicz * Is It Just Me? * Marketing Forums
April 17Apr 17 PHPBB can seem a bit tricky to update, especially if you're not familiar with its backend. However, it’s manageable with proper preparation. Ensure you back up your forum first, and check for compatibility with themes and plugins before updating. The process involves downloading the latest version, uploading it, and running the update script, but careful attention is needed to avoid breaking customizations.
