I'm new to CMS Joomla. For a school project, me and my 'team' have to upgrade an already existing website to the newest Joomla version, which is 3.4.8. We have already managed to upgrade the Joomla version itself to 3.4.8, but the problem we came across now is the template the website is using (2.5 template). Our teacher said we cannot change the template, so we will need to upgrade it. We have been looking for an answer, but we are not able to find one. Can you help us?
Thanks in advance.

I have purchased Jupiter theme and i have been using it for a number of website. But recently i am not able to work on the theme because the theme default plugin Visual composer is not working properly. When i go to edit page to edit the elements it shows blank and stays idle. I also tried to reduce the version of WordPress to 4.4 but still no use. Can somebody please support to solve this issue. The theme support has expire so no hope on that. And i am not so techie to sort what the exact problem is. If someone can guide me to solve it, it would be much appreciated. Many many thanks in advance.
The following image show the what i have explained
I think it is the compatibility issue of visual composer with the wordpress. If the visual composer installed it not latest there are the chances of conflict with latest versions of wordpress. So you may please confirm that the plugin you are using is compatible with the wordpress version you are using on your site.
I want to upgrade my joomla 1.5.22 website to latest version of joomla(3.3.6). Please suggest best way's to do this(suggest any free extensions).
Thanks in advance.
Firstly, you should alsy migrate from the latest version of your built, so step 1 is updating to Joomla 1.5.26. You can download the update package from here. Once downloaded, upload the package to the root of your Joomla installation via FTP and extract.
Step 2 is migrating for Joomla 2.5. For this, you can use an extension called JUpgrade. Simply download, install it on your Joomla site and run the migration. Everything will be done automatically for you.
Step 3 is now extremely easy. From now on, you can upgrade to a newer Joomla version using the 1 click update feature built into the Joomla backend. Simply go to:
Components (top menu) >> Joomla! Update.
You may need to click on the Options button and select "Short Term Support" to upgrade from Joomla 2.5.x to Joomla 3.x.
Now that you are running Joomla 3.x, please ensure that you are always up to date. If you see an update notification in the backend, do not update it straight away. Give it 1 or 2 days before updating as the Joomla PLT have been known to make mistake in some updates which break certain features.
Hope this helps
I performed a migration of my site in Joomla which was in version 1.5.22 to version 2.5 using jUpgrade. After the migration when I opened the url "mysite.com/jupgrade" to see how my new site will look, I am getting the error:
#404 Component not found
I checked into the jupgrade/components/ folder and noticed a number of components missing. The tables corresponding to the components are also missing. Do I need to migrate these components manually or some alternative solution is available?
Some components will need to be done manually as a lot of them have 2 separate versions for 1.5 and 2.5. Simply install the Joomla 2.5 version of the extensions that aren't working and this should solve your problem
I have a website running on Joomla 1.5 with the old Virtuemart installed. Is there a captcha extension which can be used for VirtueMart product enquiry form. I have tried and looked all over the web and Joomla extensions and could not find one that works with both Joomla and Virtuemart old versions.
I unfortunately cannot upgrade VM or Joomla to the new packages on the website.
Thank you for any help in advance!
Great tutorial, if you encounter problems, don't mind to ask :)

I am able to integrate windows live writer with joomla 1.5 but there is a problem doing the same in joomla 1.6.
Any suggestion will be appreciable.
XML-RPC has been removed from Joomla 1.6 so you are going to have to do 2 things. First, you will need to install the XML-RPC library found here - http://www.cartanova.ca/code-labs/item/108-a-xml-rpc-library-extension-for-joomla-16
Next you will need to get a copy of the MovableType XML-RPC plugin and update it for J1.6. You can get that plugin from here - http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/news-production/blog/3831
