    HI, I have a MODx Evolution 1.0.3 website.
    It is working fine till but I can't go to the manager view anymore.
    I can login, with errors, but It doesn't go to a manager view, but gives me that strip at the top(see attached). If I click `Edit Resource` it gives a pop up with bunch of warnings.
    Any help highly appreciated.
    If somebody is willing to help I can offer some compensation (the data is very important to me).
    Thanks!

      The PHP version on your server has probably been updated and now your outdated version of Evo no-longer works properly

      1.0.3 is massively outdated, you need to update it for it to work

      You can download the latest version from GitHub, but I think you will need to update in steps, as the jump might be to big from 1.0.3 to 1.4.7

      A quick list of available downloads (although not complete) can be found here, the latest stable version (1.4.7) can be found here

      If you struggle, post your problem / situation in the Evolution Github page

        Thanks a lot for the reply.
        I've checked the PHP version on the server - its 5.6.39 - on the requirements page for 1.0.3 it says that minimum 5.5.x, recommended 5.6.x. SO, not sure this is the issue.
        Do you think I still can try to update even if my current installation is not working? Also, do you know which version could handle the jump to 1.4.7(I will be gradually updating 1.0.3)?

          Steps I have personally carried out: 1.0.9 => 1.2.1 => 1.4.5

          I haven't updated to 1.4.7 as of yet, but will be doing so in the new year

          If I were you, I would first try 1.0.3 => 1.2.1, then test if it works. I am not sure anymore, but a later version no-longer supports MYSQL, which would mean it wont work properly on your server, as your PHP version needs to be updated to support MYSQLi

          Simply make a backup of everything you have on the server and don't forget to backup the database as well, then update as normal - if it works, great, if not, post in the Evolution Github issues page.

          DO NOT update to 2.0.0, that's an alpha release and shouldn't be used in a live environment
