When upgrading Laravel and/or Backpack, it's recommended that you don't jump versions. I've never tried to jump from L5.3 directly to 5.8, but I do not expect that to work.

Both Laravel and Backpack release upgrade guides with each version. That's because the upgrade process is not just changing a number in the composer.json file. It also involves some steps you need to do manually. Otherwise your app won't work. I know it's inconvenient, but it's the only possible way to upgrade code that you can customize.

My recommendation:

  1. Upgrade to Laravel 5.4 & Backpack 3.2
  2. Then upgrade to Laravel 5.5 & Backpack 3.3
  3. Then upgrade to Laravel 5.6 & Backpack 3.4
  4. Then upgrade to Laravel 5.7 & Backpack 3.5
  5. Then upgrade to Laravel 5.8 & Backpack 3.6

You can automate a good part of the Laravel upgrades using Laravel Shift. It's a paid service that makes pull requests to your Github/Gitlab/Bitbucket repo. You can't automate the Backpack upgrades, I'm afraid, but in most cases the steps will be clear and the changes small.

Hope it helps.
