thanks in advance for any help on this.
Checking the extensions before updating can already identify some extensions which are clearly incompatible and these can be removed completely by disabling the extension (ACP), deleting extension data (ACP), deleting extension files (FTP or your host navigator): in that order.Nephthys Vasudan wrote: Wed Jan 08, 2020 12:59 pm I recently updated from 3.2.8 to 3.3
1: I had a couple of extensions...this added 2 hours of work as I had to manually remove entries from the DB to get around a severe crash/hang on the ACP thanks to extensions.
Make sure you backup your DB/Files before you do anything.
If I have my copy, do I upload to another domain for the testing?
Same domain, different domain or your own PC. It doesn't matter as long the testing is done with the same (major) php version to make sure.pearlchan wrote: Wed Jan 08, 2020 10:54 pm If I have my copy, do I upload to another domain for the testing?

Checking extension compatibility is all good and fine....but none exist that are supposedly compatible with 3.3 as of last night...def. not the ones I use.warmweer wrote: Wed Jan 08, 2020 1:27 pm Checking the extensions before updating can already identify some extensions which are clearly incompatible and these can be removed completely by disabling the extension (ACP), deleting extension data (ACP), deleting extension files (FTP or your host navigator)(snip)
As its already inferred - easy to do.
The majority of extensions (3.1 and 3.2) that I have looked at (well over 100) are compatible with 3.3 so I am not sure where you have got that information from.Nephthys Vasudan wrote: Thu Jan 09, 2020 12:21 pm but none exist that are supposedly compatible with 3.3 as of last night
None are showing up for 3.3 in the search lists at PHPBB short of word of mouth.david63 wrote: Thu Jan 09, 2020 1:08 pmThe majority of extensions (3.1 and 3.2) that I have looked at (well over 100) are compatible with 3.3 so I am not sure where you have got that information from.Nephthys Vasudan wrote: Thu Jan 09, 2020 12:21 pm but none exist that are supposedly compatible with 3.3 as of last night
If you are saying that there are non in the CDB then you would be correct. phpBB 3.3 has only been out for two days and it will take the several weeks for extensions to be validated into the CDB.Nephthys Vasudan wrote: Fri Jan 10, 2020 6:29 am None are showing up for 3.3 in the search lists at PHPBB
