Hi, I need some advice: I have a website on Bludit 3.13.1, I will be moving to another web hosting, but under the same domain.
During this migration, I also want to switch to the latest Bludit (3.22.0).

How can I do this as simply as possible so that not only the content but also the plugins, including their settings, are preserved?

thanks

Since Bludit works without a database, the entire directory, including all subdirectories like bl-content, bl-kernel, and so on, must be completely backed up.

Upload everything again to your new hosting provider.

If your domain has also been moved to the new provider, you must point it to the directory where Bludit is located.

Assuming you haven't made any special modifications, you can download the update from the official website, extract it, and then copy it to the same target directory. The bl-content folder is the crucial one, as it contains all the data.

Hmm thanks, but I'm not at all wise about that...
Plus, the current website has been edited-modified.

Then the task is to find out to what extent something has been modified that would no longer run on a new server...
