Hi,
I am trying to find the really helpful forum topic that explains in detail how to upgrade from Jooma 2.5 to 3.X. I beleive it was posted by a forum moderator.
I remember reading about upgrading from joomla 2.5 to joomla 3.1 before upgrading to the latest 3.X version but I can't find the forum thread. I have tried doing a search but can't find it can somone post the link to the thread?
Thank you!

Hello yaani,
Not sure what forum topic you are speaking about, but here are a few tips:
While on Joomla 2.5.28, start by installing the latest version of your template.
Gantry Framework (4.1.32):
gantry.org/downloads#gantry4
And any RocketTheme extensions (and any Third Party Extensions - ensure they are Joomla 3.x compatible):
www.rockettheme.com/joomla/extensions
Then, before you update, disable the Remember Me plugin via Extensions > Plugins.
Then you can update simply with Joomla Update via Components > Joomla Update in your Joomla administrator.
If you do not see the option to update to Joomla 3.6.x, select the "Options" button in the Joomla Update screen -> select "Short Term Support" in the "Update server" parameter, then Save & Close.
You can re-enable the Remember Me plugin once you are safely on Joomla 3.6.x.
Always, always, back up your website before updating.
Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other questions! - Last Edit: 8 years 6 months ago by Reggie Simmons.
