Hi, I read document for upgrade and installation.
I have one doubt about whether is there upgrade package available ?
Otherwise if I copy all files and upgrade then I have to modify again many php7 files and templates to work again as same.
Hope you understand.
Thank you.
Is changed file package for 1823 is available? If yes, than how to use it for upgrade.
Thank you.
If you haven't edited any file by your own you could just upload the full package files onto the server and overwrite any existing files, and then navigate to
/install/upgrade.php to run the upgrade script and follow instruction there. For details about upgrade please refer to
https://docs.mybb.com/1.8/install/upgrade/ .
Changed files are listed in the release note, as for 1.8.23, it is
https://mybb.com/versions/1.8.23/ . You may compare the list with files you've manually modified and make edits accordingly, read the documentation on upgrade above for detail.
Thanks noyle. So there is no changed file package available. I have to overwrite small and upgrade.
Thanks.

On the right of the page link Noyle supplied. Ran it against our test instance Friday without issue.

Still I am confused about installtion of changed file package.
Should i have to just overwrite files from changed file package?
or I have to run upgrade script after overwrite files from changed file package??
Take a backup of your files before upgrade.
Upload changed files or the full package files, and the install/ folder from the full package if you've deleted this folder before. Upload them and overwrite any existing files. Make sure you've uploaded the new & full install/ folder.
If the release specifies "running the upgrade script is required" where 1.8.23's has said, navigate to /install/upgrade.php, https://community.mybb.com/install/upgrade.php for example, to run the upgrade script, then follow the instructions on screen.
Thank you...successfully upgrade with changed file package on my test board. Will do tomorrow on live board.
