Hi
The upgrade from v8 to v9 requires a manual migration rather than a simple asset replacement. It's almost rewritten from scratch.
Key Differences:
- v8 uses Bootstrap, v9 uses Tailwind CSS
- v8 uses Bootstrap components, v9 uses KtUI components
- v8 uses Gulp/Webpack, v9 uses modern build tools
- The file structure is completely different organization
Our recommendation is to create a new v9 project rather than trying to upgrade existing v8 files.

Thanks
OK
thanks a lot really
but what a bout
2. Enabling RTL on the v8 HTML Version
In relation to my current v8 project, I need to implement the RTL layout.
I understand that the RTL stylesheet (style.bundle.rtl.css) is typically generated via the build tools (Gulp/Webpack). However, since I am using the pre-compiled HTML package, I do not have this build environment set up.
Could you please clarify how I can enable the RTL layout in this context? Does the pre-compiled HTML download package already include the necessary style.bundle.rtl.css file, and I simply need to reference it in my HTML, or is there another process I should follow?
I am currently using your Metronic theme and I have a couple of technical questions for which I would appreciate your guidance.
For context, I am working with Metronic v8 (the plain HTML version), without using the build tools.
My questions are as follows:
1. Upgrading from Version 8 to Version 9
I am planning to upgrade my existing project to the latest version of Metronic (v9). Could you please advise on the official, recommended procedure for this?
Is there a direct upgrade path where I can simply replace the assets, or is a manual migration of the HTML structure and custom logic required due to breaking changes? Any links to official documentation or a migration guide on this topic would be extremely helpful.

Thank you for your time and for creating such a great product. I look forward to your response.
Hi Baraa Abd
For Metronic v8 (Bootstrap-based), RTL support requires specific setup and build processes.
For Metronic v8 HTML version:
Build RTL CSS files using the build tools:
- Find your webpack.mix.js or gulpfile.js
- Uncomment the RTL plugin configuration
- Run the build command: npm run dev --rtl --demo1
- This generates RTL CSS files in the public folder
Update CSS references to use RTL versions:
- public/demo1/css/style.bundle.rtl.css
- public/demo1/plugins/global/plugins.bundle.rtl.css
Add RTL attributes to your HTML:
<html lang="ar" dir="rtl" direction="rtl" >https://preview.keenthemes.com/html/metronic/docs/getting-started/rtl
Thanks
thanks a lot
but if i use Metronic v9
is there a specific way also ?
Yes! Metronic v9 has a much simpler approach to RTL support. Here's the specific way:
Just add dir="rtl" to your HTML tag.
<html dir="rtl">
<head>
<!-- Your head content -->
</head>
<body>
<!-- Your content -->
</body>
</html>https://keenthemes.com/metronic/tailwind/docs/customization/rtl
