When you have made a backup you can continue.



What is also important to check which way you should update, because this depends on your Joomla version. We refer you to the official site of Joomla. It is also necessary to check your plugins for compatibility with the version you are upgrading to.

The write permissions are also necessary to be active on the wwwroot folder. How to set this can be found here .

If you are finished with the backup and review of the Joomla site then you can start the upgrade. When you want to update then you can log into the administrator of your website and go to Components. Then in the drop down list select: Joomla Update.





When you see the request for update in the screen you can also use the direct link.



If write permissions are activated you can leave the Write Files directly option on. Then at 2 install the update.






After this the update is installed and your site is up to date again.






After updating, turn off write permissions in the file manager. This is for security reasons.


If you can't follow this process then you can follow the Joomla documentation for your specific version.
