Problem during upgrade
During the upgrade from version 2.2.16 to version 2.3.7, it tells me I must delete the databases. Does anyone have a solution to upgrade without deleting the data?

XenForo is already installed in your database

This means that the database you selected (u584811126_xenforo) already contains XenForo data.
Because of this, you have two options:
Option 1 – Fresh installation (delete everything)
  • Check the box:
  • “Remove all XenForo-related data, including posts and users”
  • Click Begin installation
  • This will permanently delete all existing XenForo data (users, posts, settings).
Option 2 – Keep existing forum data
  • Do not check the box
  • Do not continue with the installer
  • Instead, you should use the upgrade process or simply fix your config.php file to connect to the existing installation
