Blog is not working

Latest versions for both of them

I did that twice now, same errors with the file paths

As I've seen now in the diagnostics report perch version is 2.6.3 not the latest one as I thought so that's what is probably causing the errors. How do I proceed now ? should I update (it will mess with my content?) ? or there is a blog app version that's compatible with this version of perch ?

If you need hosting setting as well let me know, thank a lot for helping.

Satpal, updating perch is pretty simple. after making a backup of your database, replace perch/core with same folders from current version. then when you login to perch it will run the update script.

Thank you so much for your help, I updated the perch and installed the latest version of the blog. There seems to be a problem with the links on the perch homepage because they redirected somehow to the Archive page (https://grabaperch.com/add-ons/archive/apps). Anyway I got it installed and working but now I have a new problem regarding the posts on blog, whenever I try to add a new post I get this error "Sorry, that post could not be updated." even though I don't try to update any post, just to add a new post.

Also the Categories are not present in the menu in Perch admin for some reason, only Add/Edit, Comments, Authors, Sections.

Ok, it is there in the menu, but it's not like in the video where it's supposed to be between Add/Edit and Comments (https://imgur.com/8fLff13). Anyway I've made a category from the menu there and tried to add a new post, I still get that error no matter what... "Sorry, that post could not be updated."

I fully removed all the files from the old one, which tables do I need to remove from the old one ?

Yes, perfect, now it works like it should work, thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate your help, have a nice day!
