What has that to do with this guidance?Webdongle wrote:There are still a few users reporting the error with the 'Remember me' is causing update/upgrade problems.
There have been some failed updates with error showing in remember.php. When the site was restored with a backup and 'Remember me' plugin disabled then the update went smoothly.leolam wrote:Remember me is a separate issue and has no influence on the migration process me think?

You have tried to install a very old FOF-based component which was designed for Joomla! 1.5 only. This screwed up your installation. You should be able to easily fix it by doing the following steps in the order specified:
Delete the libraries/fof directory from your site
Download FOF 2.1.1
Extract the ZIP file locally
Upload the fof directory you extracted into your site's libraries directory Assuming that the older component you installed isn't using a private copy of FOF 1.x and loading it via a plugin you should get access to your site. Otherwise you will have to determine which plugin is trying to load the very old FOF version and delete it from your site.
May be a dumb idea, but head to Extension Manager -> Discover, and click on the DISCOVER button. It may show up there, and you can install it.alexwalker wrote:My problem is that I cannot see Joomla Update in Components and the site is running Joomla 2.5.18
Any ideas ?

Using STS was no good, going to extension upload was no good, so went the classic way of uploading Joomla 3 stable package zip to replace Joomla 2.5 files.tandali wrote:Trying to upgrade Joomla 2.5.14 to latest Joomla 3.x.

Anyone have any ideas on this issue?
This is a ridiculous assumption, and lousy advice. Using Akeeba Backup to do site backups is very easy, and it provides a way to load or reload a site using the Kickstart.php script.secrets wrote:A great rule to follow; don't rely on extensions to backup your website period. Do manual database and website root backups.
I think the backup documentation is missing some vital information.
Try the button "Purge cache", clear your browser’s cache, and check again for an update.tandali wrote:Trying to upgrade Joomla 2.5.14 to latest Joomla 3.x.

Nate you have somehow a point but the template overrides are per default in the template folder (html) which is an extension. So if the extension (template) has 'custom' overrides (non-template) you have to a certain extend a point when these are overrides that change core certain functionality for your website (com_contact is often an example for that). If you have not made 'custom' overrides and and using template and site as is you do not have to backup the html-folder since your new J3.x compatible template will have its own html-overridesNathanHawks wrote:@Leo,
Great guide! Something to consider adding to it: checking for/dealing with template overrides. I assume they should be:
1. disabled (e.g. renamed to html-old)
2. re-implemented using fresh 3.x templates, using the contents of html-old as a basis)
