sampsonzak Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Hi, I'm really confused. I'm reading it's possible to upgrade from PrestaShop 1.7 to PrestaShop 8.0, but even downloading the latest -autoupgrade plugin from PrestaShop's GitHub, the highest version it will let me download is 1.7.7.8 Even the beta/alpha channels, the highest version is always 1.7.7.8 How do I upgrade to PrestaShop 8.0 ? I am on 1.7.2 and I would like to Upgrade to PrestaShop 8.0 !! Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecommerce16 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 prestashop 8.0 is beta, so its not a stable version at this moment. https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/releases/tag/8.0.0-beta.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sampsonzak Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 That is an old version, their latest version doesn't mention anything of a beta? https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/releases/tag/8.0.0 Thought PrestaShop 8 was released like 1-2 months ago. Would like to update to it now and get it out the way but only seems to let me update to 1.7.8.8 at most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediacom87 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Hi, don't do this update, except on a test store to watch its behavior. The latest version of the upgrade module is : https://github.com/PrestaShop/autoupgrade/releases/tag/v4.15.0 But in any case, this is only done to test, nothing else.

sampsonzak Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 Ok that is a shame. Was hoping to get it all updated to the newest php version etc all in one! (I'm on 1.7.2 and my theme is years old), so due a big update. I'll update to the latest 1.7 version instead. Thanks for letting me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmen Cea Vieira Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 In one of the servers I use they already install 8.0 directly, this morning when I went to create a replica of another installation I saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sampsonzak Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 Many plugins and themes updated to PrestaShop 8.0 months ago, so I thought it was finished? Would like to start using PHP 8.0 to future proof the website and make it a bit faster. I'll update in ~3 months to 8.0, hopefully it's available to automatic upgrade by this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NemTom66 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 By default the channel is set to minor update search, therefore V8.0 which is a stable version by the way, was not offered. Once you set the channel to "major" and save it the page is going to be updated the the available major STABLE update will show up which is V8.0. This is not beta, this is not RC1 this is the first stable version irrespective of how many modules are compatible and how many themes are compatible yet.

sampsonzak Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 But over 750+ modules are compatible with PrestaShop 8.0 ? Is this beta or not ? I don't think they would show the beta details on the homepage if it wasn't ready to upgrade!! https://addons.prestashop.com/en/2-modules-prestashop?compatibility=8.0.0& 18 hours ago, Mediacom87 said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, thank you. I'm going to finally do my site update today, as my theme is over 4 years old and it's due a big revamp. I don't fancy updating it every month either if there are new bugs or incompatibility issues with the 8.0, but I was really hoping it would be ready and stable before February so I could update Analytics, etc all at the same time. I guess I will have to wait a bit longer! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I will have to wait a bit longer! Minimize the number of 3rd party modules you use, then you will have less chance for incompatibility and you do not have to be waiting for updates. A lot of 3rd party modules uses overrides which is a bad practice and may results in non-functional shop even after a minor update. The more 3rd party modules you use, the less freedom you will have for updating your store without requesting support service from the provider. I update my shop regularly, currently use 1.7.8.8. I usually test it in sandbox for a week, then I use. PS8.0 indeed will need a deeper test from every aspect (BO, FO, etc). I also advise you to open a sandbox version of your store, I mean a full clone of your store and make it 8.0. It would give safe opportunity to test it in different setups and identify bugs and incompatibilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NestorAcevedo Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Locally when I try to upgrade from 1.7.8.8 to 8.0 I get the following error: Quote Download of the language pack cb failed. Language pack unavailable. https://i18n.prestashop-project.org/translations/8.0.1/es-CO/es-CO.zip However, if I open the language pack URL, I'm able to download it, so, maybe a lack from the Prestashop.

neocomputersuk Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I updated my site to 8 yesterday but then I couldn't log into the admin panel it showed that I didn't have an account. Fortunately I had made an offsite backup before attempting this otherwise I wouldn't have been able to log in to run the 1 click backup restore. Anyone any ideas?
