Updating Our Templates To Joomla 6

Joomla 6 has officially arrived, and we know many of you have been wondering when our templates will be updated for full compatibility.

We are happy to let you know that our templates can now be updated to Joomla 6. Just follow the steps below in order to update.

Before you begin, create a full backup of both your site files and the database. Only proceed once you have a verified backup.

1. Update all extensions
   In the Joomla Administrator go to Extensions → Manage → Update and update every installed extension. Install the latest package (for example, SP Page Builder 6) from the extensions folder of the package you purchased.
2. Update Joomla to 5.4
   From the Admin panel go to System → Update → Joomla! and run the update to version 5.4.

3. Set the update channel to “Joomla Next”
   Go to System → Update → Joomla → Options and change Update Channel to Joomla Next. This ensures you receive the next-line updates required for the migration path.

4. Disable the Backward Compatibility plugin
   Navigate to System → Manage → Plugins, search for Backward Compatibility (or similar), and disable it. This avoids conflicts with new core features.

   NOTE: Please check your website after you disable this plugin. If any issues arise, please enable it again and wait for the update package to be released. We are working around the clock to make the necessary updates.

5. Proceed with the update despite template/SP Page Builder warnings
   You may see warnings about the template or SP Page Builder. If you have already updated extensions and SP Page Builder (step 1), you can safely ignore those warnings and continue the core update.

6. Remove template overrides
   After the update, remove the template overrides. Check Templates → Templates → [your template] → Overrides and delete overrides.

   Note: If you encounter issues after the update, please reinstall the template from the downloaded package - the template folder.
