Upgrading Versions: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:10, 2 February 2015

Before you begin, it is essential you know what version of Joomla! you are using. This is especially true if you are changing a major version. If you are already confused or don't know what a major version is, you should read more about the release and support cycle of Joomla CMS Versions. Joomla is released with the following version designations, [major].[minor].[maintenance]. For example, version 3.1.5 is Joomla major version 3, minor 1, and maintenance release 5.

Since version 1.7, the updating and upgrading of Joomla are built into the administration interface as a component. The terms updating and upgrading might be used interchangeably. In many ways, updating and upgrading are alike since Joomla 1.7, but you will need to pay very close attention to the details. To help define them better, it is recommended you use the term migration which would be defined as a major.minor(2.5) to a different major.minor(3.1) version.

Simple Updating

Updates are an easy update to the next maintenance release, for example version 2.5.13 to version 2.5.14. This would be a maintenance release of the 2.5 version.
