I appreciate your support. I successfully upgraded my forum website from phpBB 3.0.14 to phpBB 3.3.13. I must admit it was more complex than described. While the STK did remove extras, it screwed other things in the process. I had acp_add_user-1.1.3 mod installed in phpBB 3.0.14. After running the STK, there were remnants of it, so the USERS AND GROUPS tab generated SQL errors instead of displaying what it should. Anyway, I fixed the issues manually and then performed the upgrade. I employed XAMPP (Control Panel v3.3.0) to do the upgrade locally first. My www.oppblock.org site is running phpBB 3.3.13 on PHP version 8.2. It used to be PHP 5.6. So it is all good now. The database name never changed. Thank you!Simple.
Since you're not changing domain. (I suspect it'll be localhost)
Sanitise the 3.0.14 with the compatible PHP version
Switch to the PHP version compatible for 3.3.13 and continue with the procedure as mentioned in the document you already read (Upgrading from 3.0 to 3.3).
Should you change host/domain (later) ... follow
Transferring Your Board to a New Host or Domain
Added: I wasn't alert. You are in a sense switching host so you may have to edit the config.php if you're using a different database name)
