XF 2.3 XenForo 2.3.X Full / Upgrade

It's time to party like it's 2022 2023 2024! Today we are very pleased (and relieved) to announce the stable release of XenForo 2.3.0 and our official add-ons. It has been a long time coming so we thank you for your patience and support.

There are a myriad of new features and improvements. Here's a brief overview of our favourites:
This is not an exhaustive list of what's new in 2.3, and you can read more about the above and other new changes/improvements features in the Have you seen...? forum.

Prior to upgrading, ensure you have updated add-ons and styles downloaded and be sure to follow the specific developer/designer's instructions and guidance when upgrading those.

It may also be worth scheduling your upgrade at times where we have more staff available. While XenForo staff are generally available outside of these hours, responses are much quicker during the hours of Monday - Friday 9am to 5pm UK time (currently BST / UTC+1).

General upgrade guidance​

Note that add-ons and custom styles may be broken after upgrading to 2.3. You must test your add-ons thoroughly or look for updates. Be especially careful with add-ons that cover similar features to ones that are added to 2.3; these may conflict with the core XenForo data. If data conflicts are found, they will need to be resolved in a new add-on release or by removing the add-on before upgrading to 2.3.
