Drupal 7.x

I'm dealing with an older site that is still running Drupal 7.59 with PHP 5.6 and it would need to be upgraded to Drupal 7.99 and work with PHP 8.0 at least. I'm pretty inexperienced with Drupal in general, is it simply a matter of replacing the files in the server with the Drupal 7.99 ones and executing update.php or is there more to it? 

I have a Drupal 7 Book that contains video and a TOC made with Views. When I export this to a PDF or E-pub format can I then keep the Views functionality?

It also contains a lot of multimedia for which I am looking for a safe parking after my (not really imminent) death.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

HI

I've just taken over as webmaster of a site for a small not-for-profit group, website is at https://www.surreyarchaeology.org.uk/content/sihg_front

I've very little experience with Drupal, so please excuse me if this a seriously dumb question: how can I back out text or structural changes (e.g. to a menu)  I've made to a Drupal website?

All help gratefully received!

The previous webmaster resigned suddenly and is no longer available to guide me. I've very little experience with Drupal, although I'm an ex-IT bod (long retired) who has done quite a lot in WordPress.

Hello,

My site is setup to show links to our social media pages in our header area.

Under:

/public_html/sites/all/themes/ourtheme

I was able to update one of these links as needed in this file:

page.tpl.php

The change has been successful on every page of our site except for our homepage, even after deleting and refreshing cache.

I'm not a developer, just trying to figure things out as I go.

Can anyone please let me know if there is a separate file that controls what shows on the homepage that needs to be edited as well?
