Drupal 8.x

I've just installed Drupal 8.6.2 which was with my hosting package, on a new website, and am notified of a core security update to install 8.7.5.

It says I have to install manually.  Years ago, when set up a site, I had ftp details, so I could upload files.  I didn't get that this time (different company), just login and pwd for the "database", with a path to the name of the database name.  Presumably this is the MySQL darabase?

What should I look for in order to find ftp details?

I've installed my first installation of Drupal in a few years, and am configuring my site.

I want to use the forum, and previously had used forum_access to enable differential access permissions.

According to the forum_access page, I need to install ACL and Chain Menu Access API.

I got ACl installed, but when trying to install Chain Menu Access API, I get this error message:

chain_menu_access-8.x-1.0-beta5.tar.gz does not contain any .info.yml files.

Hello,

How to import a View Duplicates in Drupal 8?!

I have many Views, and now I want to change my Drupal 8 Theme..... For this - I would need all the same Views, but with a small changes, some CSS classes more, some less.....

I have those new views ready, on a duplicate website; but I won't be able to import them, since they have exactly the same UUID's and ID's as old ones, and I would like to keep them both..... but how to Import those new Views as Duplicates but a new?!

Example Error (I changed ID manually, but UUID I don't know how to change) is:

I need to import a large dataset (over 300,000 records) into a Drupal 8 site. I have figured out how to do this with feeds on a small test dataset.

One problem however is that the dates in the records are in the format, "June 8, 2018". I do not see a way to use a Drupal 8 Date field to input dates in this format.

I need to be able to create views that display records based on a date range.

Hi, I must have read a hundred guides on using ajax to update a node field but i just cant get it to work! I have a custom module and have added the following code:
