[3.3.x] Support Forum • Re: Completely New to This

Question: How difficult is it for someone who is reasonably au fait with things to update a phpBB version please? I understand the need for backing up before changing the version and ensuring the data is kept safe. I just wonder how difficult it is to do.

Updating a phpBB forum is a piece of cake: see https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... radeguide/
In your case it's a simple update within the 3.3 series : https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... ide/minor/

As to Backups: see https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... tructions/

The only time you need to take care when upgrading/updating is when you have extensions or extra styles, in which case you may have to perform extra actions such as updating the styles/extensions or completely uninstalling them (e.g. when there is no update for that extension or style to the latest phpBB version).
