Upgrade Joomla template from old version in a detail guideline

The problem for how to upgrade template to a new version is very important when we use Joomla templateto build our website. I have written blog article for this task and Ihope it’ll be helpful for users who begin to use Joomla. For this blog we’re using JSN Epic (Pro Unlimited).

Step1: Get the files modification list

Before you want to upgrade, you can see from my blog title, you need to prepare a list of files that you have modified in the old template version. JSN Epic provides a function that allows you to see files that you modified; you can find this function in the details, on the tab “About” and the link to the function is “Check for files modification”.

Figure 1: Check for files modified

JSN Epic is not the only one which provide a check file-modified function, but other Joomla template providers also apply this function in their products. If you have files edited, you will see the message “some file have been modified”, click “See details”to see the files that you have changed.

If you don’t modify code and use it without customization, you will get the message as “no files modification found”and you can skip this step.
