How to updated to a flarum Stable version ?

xasharma

I tried to update but previously when i tried to update, it goes to a recent version which is not stable.

How can i update to stable version ?

clarkwinkelmann

xasharma can you explain the history of your forum, and share your php flarum info output so we can see which version you are on and the extensions in use? Which version do you end up on ?

Hey please tell me the command so that i can try ...

GreXXL

xasharma you are already running the latest stable release of Flarum? What issues do you experience?

xasharma

GreXXL Very slow ever after a 6 core and 12 RAM VPS

GreXXL

xasharma you should tell us what exactly is slow. I suggest to use both the schelduler as well as at least database queues if posting is slow for you.

According to the instructions, I thought I had to update the extensions first.
I ran these 3 commands and the update was successful.

composer update --prefer-dist --no-plugins --no-dev -a --with-all-dependencies
php flarum migrate
