Upgrade instructions

  1. Backup first: Create a full site backup (files + database) before making changes.
  2. Update Joomla & PHP: Ensure your environment is running Joomla 6 and PHP 8.3 (or upgrade in a staging site first).
  3. Install JomSocial 5.0.0: Download the package and install it via Joomla Extension Manager.
  4. Update themes/templates: If you use JomSocial themes or templates, download the Joomla 6 compatible versions and apply them as needed.
