One more thing: My version is 1.8.3 because I couldn't install the latest version as it wasn't supported with my version of php, 7.4.16.
One more thing: My version is 1.8.3 because I couldn't install the latest version as it wasn't supported with my version of php, 7.4.16.
Also I installed my previous version using Installatron, does that change anything? I'm not familiar with unzipping files over existing files so I'll have to figure that out too.
Thank you for your help.
There is a 1.8.7 version which should run on your PHP version. Just unzip the files over the existing files and then go to https://yoursite.com/ow_updates/
to complete the update.
The update does not include the ow_includes folder so your config.php file will not be overwritten.
