Joomla Upgrade

Keeping your installation of Joomla up to date, the current versions are 2.5.11 and 3.1.1 (check what version you are currently running), is important because it insures your website is not hacked through a known vulnerability in Joomla. Joomla says that upgrading promptly is one of the most important guidelines for keeping Joomla secure. If your Joomla installation has already been hacked we can clean it up and then upgrade it (just upgrading Joomla will not properly resolve a hack). If you prefer not to upgrade your Joomla installation yourself, we can do it for you following the proper upgrade procedure. First we backup the website's files and database, we then install the upgrade, and finally we test the website to insure the upgrade has not caused any issues. We will also upgrade any out of date extensions that are installed. We can upgrade your Joomla 1.6.x, 1.7x, 2.5.x, 3.0.x installation in a few hours.

Joomla 1.0 and 1.5 Migration to Joomla 3.1

Support for Joomla 1.5 has ended. The migration from Joomla 1.5 to 3.1 is more involved process than an upgrade and your theme and any extensions will need to be compatible with 2.5 to continue working. We can convert your existing Joomla 1.5.x template to be compatible with Joomla 3.1 if a compatible version is not available. The time for us to perform a migration will depend on how many extensions are on your website.

Joomla recommends migrating Joomla 3.1 instead of 2.5 unless you need extensions that are not available for Joomla 3.1.

Migrating from Joomla 1.0 to 3.1 is an even more involved process than a Joomla 1.5.x migration and your theme and any extensions will need to be compatible with 3.1 to continue working.

Hosting Requirements For 2.5.x:

Hosting Requirements For 3.1.x:
