What are my options?

BTW, the "auto update" setting is unchecked in the settings. This is because the auto updating never worked for some reason.

Thank You Rocco and Pavel for the info. I got the upgrade link working. I clicked the link and the popup "will upgrade within a minute" showed. After waiting, clearing cache; the site didn't upgrade. Still shows version 12.1.0 along with the 13 upgrade link. Any ideas?

What version of PHP are you using? If it's below 7.4, the update will not occur until version 13.0.0. Additionally, in some cases, you may need to manually change the PHP version to 7.4 to set up Cron.

The PHP is 7.4. Would there be anything else preventing the upgrade?

Read log in main directory of the site.

More files changed* do need config % to skip that moment. But all custom changes lost*.

There isn't anything showing upgrade errors/attempts. The last upgrade log was 7/23/21.

I GOT IT UPGRADED Thanks to Rocco and Pavel. This is what I had to do:
- In developer module, switch to BETA version. After that, the upgrade link should show.
- Confirm that PHP version is 7.4. ( I did have that but it's good to confirm)
- My issue was cron was not set correctly. I set the correct cron job path and it immediately upgraded and I got the "upgrade successful" email.
All working now :)
