Attention

TYPO3 v7 has reached its end-of-life November 30th, 2018 and is not maintained by the community anymore. Looking for a stable version? Use the version switch on the top left.

There is no further ELTS support. It is recommended that you upgrade your project and use a supported version of TYPO3.

Backup

Make a backup first! If things go wrong, you can at least go back to the old version. You need a backup of

  • all files of your TYPO3 installation (by using FTP, SCP, rsync, or any other method)

  • the database (by exporting the database to an SQL file)

Also you may prefer to upgrade a copy of your site first, if there have been a lot of changes and some of them might interfere with functions of your site. See the ChangeLog to check that.
