Answer 1

You should never try upgrade on production site. First take a db backup and using that create site with new q2a version. Test and then make it production.

I tested q2a v1,8 and it is working fine for upgrade. it may be some other issue. How many plugins you are running on site. Disable all and then try enabling one by one.

@ Zeeshan, its a lot of work. try yourself and let us know if you see any issue.  Do it step by step.

Ok................

Answer 2

Not sure if you have it sorted now, but if everything is blank it may be that your server config for errors is overriding Q2A's error handling. Try going to yoursite.com/install, you should be able to run the database upgrades for 1.8.

It was happening because of database table
I don't know what is called table or what but when I change the prefix from something to like qa_posts etc
And I don't know how 64 tables are there then I deleted them now only 32 tables are there
