It's good to see that you managed to solve the upgrade.
I would recommend you update to at least version 8.0, as all the 7.x 
versions are already end of life and there will not be any security 
updates of them, which means if they find a bug it will never be fixed 
and attackers may be taking over web sites.

EOL of 7.2 was in the end of 2020.
