Attention

TYPO3 v8 has reached its end-of-life March 31st, 2020 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.

Upgrade

When a new version of TYPO3 is released, you should follow the guideline in this chapter in order to do an upgrade. Also follow any additional upgrade information carefully. You might e.g. want to skim the changelog to see if any features affect the way your site works.

Note

Version specific upgrade notes

While most of this chapter is a general guideline to follow for a TYPO3 Upgrade, some version specific information for upgrading to 8.7 is available. Use this as an amendment to the general upgrading instructions!

Note

Think of active users

Think of users who might want to do any changes during your upgrading and/or fallback. Inform them before you start!
