Things to Consider Before Your Joomla 2.5 to 3.0 Upgrade

Certainly, new Joomla version looks good. However, before you               make a final decision, there are a few things you need to pay                       close attention to. Make sure that the upgraded Joomla version                 of the site will definitely satisfy you and meet your needs.

● Support The first thing you have to admit that Joomla 3.0 is a short term support version                               and soon you would have to upgrade again to Joomla 3.5.

● Available Extensions Before the update, check up your Joomla 2.5 extensions in order                       to make sure that your old extensions will be supported after the site update to Joomla

3.0.  Otherwise, you might end up lacking the necessary functionality for your website.● Upgrade = Migration You should know that the distinctions between these versions are                       

so severe, that Joomla 2.5 to 3.0 version upgrade is actually a migration. It means, that                             you cannot do it with a single mouse click.

● Spring Cleaning Before the upgrade, you’d better comb through your content and filter                       some information. It means, you should clean up some pieces of your data that are not                             

important and essential anymore.
