Upgrade from 3.3.1 to 3.3.8 Steps

Post by BeBop »

Is it possible to upgrade from version 3.3.1 to 3.3.8 directly with no interim upgrades, if so, are there any issues to look out for?

Also, can I confirm that the automatic update option is still to be avoided and the file replacement method remains the best and safest upgrade option to complete the job please.

I asked this very same question back in March 2022 but relating to an upgrade from version 3.3.1 to 3.3.7 directly, we couldn't go ahead at that point as I was unwell for 6 weeks. However, I received an extremely helpful reply from Prosk8er in March which was as follows. Is the advice still the same and the link provided in March still valid for an upgrade from version 3.3.1 to 3.3.8 rather than 3.3.7 please?

yes you can update right to 3.3.7
yes avoid automatic update(now called advanced update)
