Joomla! has an automatic update feature in place, which performs regular security updates multiple times per year. As soon as the update is available you will be notified via a message in your Joomla! Administration Area. Then you just have to follow the instructions and the update will be completed extremely easy.

Be aware, though, that in order to keep your website secure an update of your core Joomla! files is not enough and that it is imperative to keep all the third party extensions up to date with their security features too.

As mentioned in the previous point - Joomla! prides itself on a large quantity of different types of extensions. They could be either free or commercial, but there are also three general categories, by which they can be separated:

• Components: They are complex features, which are almost like stand alone applications that can bring new features to your website.
• Modules: They are light extensions and can be placed inside the free module positions of your website.
• Plugins: With their help you can alter the core functionality of your Joomla! Website.

Uploading those themes and plugins could prove to be a fast and easy process, when you decide to use Joomla! Here are the few basic steps you need to know, if you want to do that yourself:

The first step is to download the theme or plugin you want to use. Most commonly it is a compressed ZIP file.

The second one would be to go to your administration area and navigate to Extensions > Manager > Install. When you reach the Install section you can freely install the feature you want by just uploading the archive you have downloaded.

As soon as you do that the application will automatically install it and the task would be successfully completed.

Be aware that it is considered a good practice to test the functioning of the theme or plugin to make sure the installation was correct.

If you are experiencing any difficulties with the installation process - you can always contact our Support Team.

It all depends on the extension, which you want to use. Many of the Joomla! 2.5 extensions work perfectly on Joomla! 3.5, but at the same time there are some, which are not built for that. As it is individual to every extension we would recommend you to read its documentation or to contact the developers directly in order for them to provide you with more information for the certain case.

If you are experiencing any difficulties with performing the updates on you own - you can always contact our Support Team, who will be glad to assist you.

Be aware that when upgrading Joomla! from version 1.5 to 2.5 or even to 3.5 - you will most likely be required to make serious modifications on you website. This happens because of the compatibility of the different modules/themes/plugins, as for example there are none version 1.5 components fully compatible with 3.5.

Every premium theme for Joomla! should have installation tutorial included in the package.It is crucially important to follow the exact instructions in the manual as if it is not correctly performed throughout the website might end up with a different look, compared to the demo version of the theme, which you have explored earlier.

Another useful feature, that most theme developers offer is the so-called QuickStart package. Those packages are basically bundles of entire Joomla! websites with all the required extensions, themes and demo content that you need to be wrapped in one. Then you just have to install it and start developing your project over the premade framework.

There are a couple of ways, which you can go about changing your administration password:

The simplest way to do that is to go to: Administration Area > User > User Manager. Once you are there you just have to click on your username and on this page you will be able to enter your new password. If you have forgotten your password and you are not able to access your administration area to perform the steps mentioned above - don’t worry - there is yet another way to change it.
