First: there is no 3.0.3 version, guess you mean 3.0.3.8pereiraontheblock wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 3:12 pmI have a current store (314 customers, 23748 orders, 5738 products, and 1385 blog posts) under version 2.2.0 and wish to upgrade to version 3.0.3. Can I upgrade my store directly or do I have to create a new store under 3.0.3 and upgrade later? I would like to learn suggestions on upgrade solutions as well.
Second: OpenCart does not have a native blog module, which means you have to update that always manually.
Third: updating a store "directly" is always in any case a very bad idea.
Better create a new instance with 3.0.3.8 and build that up from ground.
Check that all your used extensions are exist also for 3.0.3.8 - a good way to remove unneeded and not used extensions.
Check that the used template (if not the default) does exist also for 3.0.3.8 - or buy a new one.
Finally convert the database tables manual.
If all is okay, you can switch from the older store to the new - you customers and visitors will not have any outage (except at least a few seconds).

I will create a new store first and see which extensions I can use there. Thanks for your advice!

I am doing exactly the same, the new store name URL does it have to be another name or can it be a directory off www.example.com/newsite/
Thanks
Yes, you can have your new store in a sub-folder.gsc1ugs wrote: ↑Thu Oct 05, 2023 4:33 pmI am doing exactly the same, the new store name URL does it have to be another name or can it be a directory off www.example.com/newsite/
