Author Topic: Easiest way to downgrade from 3.x to 2.5?  (Read 321 times)

I used the Oasis template and developed a 3.x website.  Now because of compatibility issues with a specific component, we need to go back to 2.5. What is the easiest way to do this?  Can I download the 2.5 version of the template (with site shaper to get the 2.5 joomla?), install, put my content back in and re-use the template.css file?  Or would I be better off starting over from scratch? Ugh!

Thanks!

Hello,

You can simply copy over the 2.5 template files, the extensions are all the same for both versions. But I don't know how you will downgrade Joomla itself as the entire database is updated when you upgrade. There's no way to downgrade Joomla that I know of.
