    Umbraco Upgrade from Solution

    Hi.... so i have inherited several Umbraco sites which where initially setup in Visual Studio.

    They all have custom code and extended items and are controlled by source control.

    I need to upgrade them all... as they are all on different versions. Ranging from 6 to 8.

    So, i can't do a normal upgrade like I'm used to, by copying the dlls and views etc and I'm having trouble when I update the umbraco core via NuGet.

    I was wondering if anyone has any tips about doing the upgrade via Visual Studio and NuGet as I'm having issues finding information on how to proceed in this particular scenario... thank you for any help anyone may be able to offer.

    Hi James

    Have a look at the general upgrade guide there is a section on achieving this via Nuget:

    https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/getting-started/setup/upgrading/general#are-you-using-nuget

    And for knowing which bits might need manual intervention, the 'version specific' guide is your friend.

    https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/getting-started/setup/upgrading/version-specific

    regards

    Marc

    If you want to upgrade a V6 site to a V8, those will probably problematic, as major changes have been introduced (quite logical with major version updates). Especially for custom code you'll probably have to rewrite a bunch of stuff.

    I'd recommend to update them to the latest version within their major version.

    (so for example, for a V6 website, upgrade to 6.2.6, and for a V7 to 7.15.6

    Version 8 is the ideal... however, i am aware about the indepth changes so focusing on getting to version 7 at least at the moment and then plan to go up to version 8.
