I need to upgrade Joomla! 1.7.2 Stable to 2.5 (Its a live site)
Some of my doubts are
Does the design changes back to the original default one.If so how can i recover it back?
Are there any good blog to refer its step by step process?
Are there any extension manager to do it with less error and quickly?
Jomsocial 2.4 is installed in it, does upgrading Joomla 2.5 will affect the files in
Jomsocial,because I have done some updations in these files(in components/com_community
and components/com_users)

i wasn't getting any updates notifications of joomla update as my current version is 2.5.x and i want to update to 3.x at least. But after doing purge cache action as according to this solution states.
But after this i get to see this (How can this say the lower version to new version?)
Is there any other way i can get to notify to update to joomla version 3.x ?
Go to options of the Joomla update manager and switch from Long Term Support to Short Term Support.
This way you can update Joomla 2.5.x only to Joomla 2.5.28 (which is the last release of 2.5 series). If you want to have Joomla 3, then you must do a migration, like that: https://docs.joomla.org/Joomla_2.5_to_3.x_Step_by_Step_Migration
If you want to upgrade your Joomla to latest version then Just Go to Extension manager and install the following stable package.
Download Joomla Update package
How i convert my current website of joomla1.5 to joomla2.5
please anyone help me
When i using jUploader it is only allow to convert joomla1.5.18 to 1.7 but i need joomla2.5
Thre is a lot of documentation out there on how to convert Joomla 1.5 sites to Joomla 2.5.
You need to use an extension such as JUpgrade to upgrade your site to 2.5.
Please bare in mine that this will update your database tables and core extensions such as com_content, mod_login etc. This will not upgrade 3rd party extensions that you have found from the Joomla Extensions Directory. You will need to go back to whereever you downloaded these extensions from and see if there is a Joomla 2.5 compatible version of them, and install them, else you'll need to look for an alternative.
Seeing as you have waited all the way till now, you might be best off upgrading again to Joomla 3.x. Even though this it eh short term release, it is the way forward, will save what could be another time consuming upgrade in the future.
Oh and as always recommended, please make sure you take a backup of your site before the upgrade.
Hope this helps
Long time back I used jUpgrade plugin for joomla upgrade.
But now the plugin / component is not in use to upgrade the joomla version from 1.5 to 2.5
Is there any other freeware plugin for migration?
I used following components.
Gavick Pro
Jcomments
jcraweler
jfusion
Joomfish and
k2
Pleas give some suggesstions to upgrade the joomla from 1.5 to 2.5
jUpgrade has been unpublished due to a broken download link, however things have changed on their official website and it can still be downloaded:
http://redcomponent.com/redcomponent/jupgrade
I forgot to mention that jUpgrade does not upgrade your 3rd party extensions such as JEvents. You will have to download the Joomla 2.5 compatible version for each one unfortunately. The same goes for the site template.
I know this is an old question, but things have changed on redComponent again. They now don't have an installer available on the site.
However, if redMigrator (the JUpgrade replacement) doesn't meet your needs (as in my particular case, today), they have put the JUpgrade source on GitHub
https://github.com/fastslack/jUpgrade
Just clone the repo down and then run releases/make_release.sh
http://redcomponent.com/redcomponent/jupgrade
It's still available from the makers website. Just been unpublished on JED for some reason. Keep on using it as before as far as I'm concerned.
There are no other well recognized freeware upgrades just the paid SP Upgrade (note the support on this extension as it is a paid extension is much better however for a generic upgrade stick with jUpgrade). However free upgrades do exist and can be found under this section on JED.
I have Joomla 2.5 website where I am using Nano theme from yootheme. When I see on control panel, I always see that Joomla! 2.5.3, however the latest version for 2.5 is 2.5.7.
Why I don't see the update info like I see for other themes?
How could I update 2.5.3 to 2.5.7?
When did you install Joomla! and did you do any automatic updates till 2.5.3? I really doubt that is had something to do with the theme.
You can manually update Joomla! to 2.5.8, check the Joomla! 2.5.8 release page..
Of couse don't forget to backup everything before upgrading.
Joomla itself helped me...
Followed Step 2b from here.
I'm trying to upgrade Joomla Version 1.5.20 to Joomla Version 2.5.4.
I've upgraded other CMS's in the past, but Joomla seems to be a little different. Does anyone have any advice as to the best way to upgrade?
So far I've:
Downloaded the entire site
Exported the database via phpMyAdmin
I've installed MAMP and Joomla locally and I'm trying to replicate their site on my machine in attempt to upgrade locally before doing it live. I've loaded the template, but haven't been able to load the content yet.
There seems to be a lot of versions between 1.5.20 and 2.5.4, and it's making me a bit nervous.
You can't directly upgrade from a Joomla! 1.5.x version to the 2.5.x line, it's a migration.
As the 2.5 line is a big change to Joomla! you will have to find 2.5 versions of:
the template you're using
any custom extensions (ie. components, plug-ins, modules etc)
Version 2.5 has new technical requirements so you will need to check that your server meets those.
Once you've got all that resolved.
First thing you should do is upgrade a backup of your 1.5.x site to the latest version ie. 1.5.26 as it fixes some security issues, and the recent versions included 1 or 2 bugs that help with the migration.
Once you have that working you will need to use a migration tool as discussed in this document. Please note that while this document references JUpgrade, you would probably be better off looking at one of the other conversion tools, especially the commercial products (which aren't expensive at all).
We're about half way through migrating over 200 client websites and while we started out with the free 'recommended' component we now use the commercial SP Upgrade (I have no affiliation with this product other than purchasing it and using it happily).
To upgrade joomla the plugin JUpgrade is one of the options. its quite easy tool.
updation can only required some clicks.
Here is steps.
Step 1
The very first thing you need to do is update your Joomla 1.5 website to the latest security update (1.5.25 at the time of writing). Click here for the tutorial on how to update your site.
Step 2
create a backup of your website.
Step 3
We are going to use jUpgrade to migrate our website. You can download jUpgrade from above link.
Step 4
Once you have downloaded jUpgrade, install it in existing joomla using the extension manager (Extensions -> Install / Uninstall).
Make sure that you have loggedin with Super Administrator. ( It required super administrator rights to migrate database and media.)
Step 5
You need to enable the System - Mootools Upgrade plugin before you can use jUpgrade so navigate to extensions then plugin manager, do a search for the plugin and enable it. (Extensions -> Plugin Manager)
Step 6
Click on Start Upgrade, It will now upgrading automatically as below till completion Popup.
Now click on administrator, you will see Joomla newer version Login page and make sure that all content transferred successfully ( It will transfer only contents that will supported in new Joomla version)
JUpgrade will create new directory. Download & install Joomla newer version to new directory and transfer media and contents in newer one.
