Updating to newer Grav versions

Support
1

Hi, my team has a webpage in Grav v1.1.17 Admin v1.2.14 and I’m looking after that website now.

Should I update it to Grav v2.0 and how would I do that? I’m not a developer and any simple instructions would be helpful. I can’t even apply the Step 1 - Back up your site in Assisted Migration to Grav 2.0 | Grav Documentation.

Thank you

@waters_admin, Are you sure you have a website running Grav v1.1.17, which is 10 years old???

A few notes:

  • AFAIK, you cannot upgrade from Grav v1.1.17 to Grav v2.0 automatically.
  • You’ll need to upgrade to the latest stable version first: v1.7.52.
  • I guess there will be many breaking changes when going from v1.1.17 to v1.7.52.
  • “I’m not a developer”: I’m sorry to say, but I doubt you will succeed as a non developer…

thanks, I know it is very old but still alive…

I should be able to get help from a developer though so we should be okay then

Would it actually be easier/less time consuming to start from scratch and rebuild the website (there’s only about 10 pages) with the latest version of Grav rather than updating it?

I’d say it depends on what kind of theme and how many and what plugins you’re using.
