Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

We use Joomla as a Intranet for our office and we're currently using Joomla 1.7.3

I noticed that Joomla 3.x has come out.....are there instructions on how I can upgrade from 1.7.x to 3??

Yes, and the instructions are to stick with J2.5.

Why is that??

Read the announcement, first board!

Hi wingnut144,

You need to update from 1.7.3 to 2.5.7 ASAP. Please make a backup before proceeding and consult with Joomla's documentation:
http://docs.joomla.org/Upgrading_from_J ... Joomla_2.5

Then check out the Joomla 3 FAQ:
http://community.joomla.org/blogs/commu ... 0-faq.html

Kind regards,
Nick

i am not seeing any way to complete this upgrade from 1.7.3

1) There are no updates internally. and get error (XML error: EntityRef: expecting ';' at line 3)
2 ) the patches are from 1.7 - 1.7.5 and 1.7.4 - 1.7.5 ( and both error out)
