The Upgrading MODX docs don't seem to have anything in reference to 2.3.x (or regarding upgrading from 2.1.x for that matter).
Is there anything special one needs to know in regard to upgrading from 2.1.x to 2.3.x?
Many thanks in advance for any insight you can share!

Yes, upgrading across that big a gap could well be a problem. I'd recommend upgrading to 2.2.0, then 2.2.5, 2.2.10, then it should be OK going to 2.3.2
Do make sure to backup everything before each step.
Thank you Susan!
So just to confirm, that's four upgrades to go through?

Well, it's worth a try making the full upgrade at once, but do make sure you have a full backup first. Depending on what snippets and plugins you are using, it may go the first time or it may not.
A good idea, if you can, is to copy the site to a dev environment (even if it's just a subdirectory in the existing site) and try upgrading that.
Ok, good to know! There's not much at all in the way of plugins and snippets, so perhaps it would go smoothly the first time.
I've sent you a PM, please let me know if you received it!
