I have old version 2.16.3 and it just stopped working I could not login My host apparently adopted 8.1 PHP…few days ago. I put some code into htaccess to force php70 but still cron is not triggering… Any idea? Also can I upgrade my version directly by overwriting newer files and update db? ---

HI Joey Can you be more specific… I would love to upgrade… I need to download 2.6 version to my local dev and run it there… can I update it with composer? Or command line like GItbash? I am on PC, that is why it is confusing
