<div> '''Migration to new major version is slightly "dangerous movement", because you have to be sure that all your Joomla extensions supporting the latest version of Joomla. This means that after you finish the installation some parts of your website can be inoperative.'''<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''Important!'''<br />
''Never start migrating without making a backup of your current Joomla website! Because you can lose everything.''<br />
<br />
* Log into Joomla! admin.<br />
* Go to "Components" -> "Joomla Updates" or simple past this link http://yoursite.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_joomlaupdate into your browser, this will take you directly to "Joomla updates".<br />
* Because there is still no long-term release of Joomla 3.x branch, you will have to switch to short-term release settings for the update server. For that click on "Options" and from the drop-down list on the "Update server" choose "Short term support" and click "Save and close".<br />
* After saving Joomla will automatically start searching for available updates. Press the "Install" button to start the migration. Joomla will take a few seconds to migrate your content. After migration finished, you will see the new Joomla 3.x admin panel.<br />
* Go to System ->Maintenance, Clear Cache and Purge it!<br />
* Go to Extensions ->Extension Manager, then on the "Update" tab press "Purge cache".<br />
* Repeat the migration process again.</div>Riaanhttps://www.imaginet.co.za/kb/index.php?title=Upgrading_your_CMS&diff=1596Upgrading your CMS2020-01-16T13:53:51Z<p>Riaan: </p>

<div>This tutorial will explain how you can upgrade your Joomla website to the latest version.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
We strongly recommend to create a backup of your website before you start Joomla update.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
1)Log into Joomla! admin.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
2) Joomla 3.x will automatically start looking for updates at its official repository. If there is new version available, you will get the notification right in your admin panel. Just click on "Update now" and go to the next step.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
After you clicked on the button you will be redirecting to the Joomla update page. Here, you will find the information about your current Joomla version and the latest one you will be upgrading to, the updated URL and the installation method. You shouldn't make any changes there, the upgrading process will go by default and all have to be fine!</div>Riaanhttps://www.imaginet.co.za/kb/index.php?title=Upgrading_your_CMS&diff=1594Upgrading your CMS2020-01-16T13:45:11Z<p>Riaan: </p>
