Hello.
I have installed the template University v.3.19 (with J.3.4.8) and I would like to upgrade it to v.3.20.1 (Joomla 3.5+).
Where can I find instructions for upgrading ?
Thank you.

Is this all i need to update? I tried to install the new version over 3.17.1 and the site pretty much exploded.

(Also, the K2 news feature on the site lost all its categories when I updated to 2.7..0, seemed like it made stuff up. Can I stay with K2 2.6.9?)

Hi

I've experienced some problems during updating K2 as well. Unfortunately this problem has to be directed to K2. We do not develope this component.

When You update to newest joomla:

1. Update Joomla
2. Update Template
3. Update Extensions

Everything works for me in my copy of University quickstart I have on my computer.

Once I reverted to 3.4.8 and University 3.17.1, then updated to K2 2.7.0 it worked again. So for now, crisis averted. But php 7 doesn't seem to be in my near future for the site I was working on. I have a highly customized build of the template (css only) and I suspect a good deal of that also crashed and burned.

Hi

PHP7 is not a must. Most problems I've seen after update were with database, but nothing a simple comparison in joomla database management cant fix.

Try make a copy of Your site and make all updates there. Let me know if You will encounter problems, I'll try to help.
