In order to be able to update your Joomla, you must first log in to the administration area (our example: http://www.beispielwebsite.at/joomla/administrator/
If you have installed Joomla via Easy.Install from world4you, then your login credentials have been sent to you by email.
Here you can see which version you have installed and which one is available. By clicking on Install The Update, you can start the update process. Please note that you can only automatically update to the next possible version.
As you can see in the image below, Joomla only allows you to update to the next version, which means that you will have to perform multiple updates until you have installed the newest version. Once you have started the installation, you will see how far the process has progressed.
Do not leave the page during this process. Also, when the process has reached 100%, you have to wait until the next page loads automatically.
In addition to the main components of Joomla, there are extensions that need to be updated as well. If updates are available, this will also be displayed on the start page. Click on Show updates to get to the overview page of the extensions.
On the overview page, select all extensions that you would like to update. Then click Update on the command line.
The update process will then start automatically in the background. Do not leave the page and wait for the process to complete. Once the update process is successfully finished, you will be informed that no updates are available. This completes the update process.
