Hi,

Iv got an old forum on 2.0.13 that I need to upgrade due to the host stopping supporting PHP 5 but iv got a slight issue in that its on PHP 5.2 but when upgrading to 2.0.14 it says it needs PHP 5.3 or above.

Unfortunately the lowest PHP version I can switch to is 7.3 which 2.0.13 doesn't support and if I make the switch I cannot go back. So since I kinda need to do this is it worth the risk with there being a chance that 2.0.13 will hold up enough on PHP 7.3 to get the upgrade through? Or will it just fall over entirely?

Thanks

if you dont need to keep your mods you can just override your files with the 2.0.18 files and be done with it. there are no database changes to worry about. you would need to reinstall your mods when done.
