The Joomla Museum is an archive-style repository that preserves historical and current Joomla extensions. It can be a useful resource for site owners, developers and researchers who need discontinued extensions, older releases or reference code. This guide explains how to find and download Joomla 3 and 4 extensions in the Museum, how to test them safely on a staging site, how to prepare a submission if you want to contribute, and what checks you should run to reduce the risk of breaking a live site.
Important: Some site-specific details (counts, accepted versions, validation rules) should be verified directly on the Museum website before you rely on them in production. See the technical verification notes at the end of this article.
The Joomla Museum functions as an archive for Joomla extensions — components, modules, plugins, templates and language packs. It aims to preserve releases for historical reference and to help site owners recover or maintain legacy sites when vendor downloads are no longer available.
Typical archive entries include extension packages (zip files), manifest files (manifest.xml or extension.json), author metadata, version history and a license declaration. Archives often cover multiple Joomla generations (legacy 2.5/3.x and 4.x and beyond), but exact version coverage varies by archive. Verify the Museum's supported versions on its official pages.
Archives may be community-run or independent projects rather than official Joomla.org resources. That distinction matters for trust and support: an official directory will have formal review and policies, while community archives may have different validation processes. Before depending on files from the Museum, check the About/Contact pages for ownership, maintenance contacts and site policies, and cross-check with joomla.org when appropriate.
Practical example: Confirm Museum ownership by locating an About or Contact page on the Museum site and verifying the listed email or organization. If uncertain, cross-reference announcements or the official Joomla channels.
Warning: Do not assume Museum entries receive the same level of automated or editorial review as the Joomla Extensions Directory (JED). Always inspect and test each extension.
Extension archives fill a practical need: they can return files that are no longer available from original vendors, preserve historical versions for auditing, and provide developers with old code necessary for migrations or security fixes. However, archived code may be outdated and potentially insecure.
Archives may not always present complete licensing information or author contact details. Verify license files and manifest license tags before reuse. If the Museum enforces a GPL-only policy, contributors must be able to grant or confirm GPL licensing for their uploads. If licensing is unclear, do not redistribute or alter an extension until you have confirmation.
Scenario: A client’s site requires an old menu module. Use the Museum to locate a plausible candidate, then follow the safety checklist in this guide to validate and test the module before using it in production.
Warning: Archived files may contain unpatched vulnerabilities. Treat them as untrusted until scanned and tested.
Efficient searching will save time and reduce risk. Use available filters first, then verify candidate entries by inspecting their metadata and downloads.
On an extension entry page, look for:
Red flags: missing manifest, no author listed, no changelog, or a package that contains unexpected binaries or installers.
Practical walkthrough: To fetch a Joomla 3 module, filter by type=module and version=Joomla 3, download the package, then open the archive and inspect the manifest.xml to confirm target versions and any install scripts.
Warning: Manifest data can be modified; always inspect the actual package contents before trusting compatibility claims.
Follow a structured workflow to reduce the chance of breakage. The checklist below is intended for testing archived extensions safely.
Example workflow: Download module.zip → run ClamAV scan → extract and inspect manifest.xml → install on staging → test menu creation and admin forms → verify no PHP errors → plan rollout.
Warning: Never install unknown packages directly on production. If installation breaks admin access, be prepared to disable the extension from the filesystem or database and restore backups.
If you want to contribute, prepare a clean, well-documented package and provide accurate metadata. The Museum usually requires account registration before submitting.
Packaging example (conceptual): folder/
├─ plugin.php
├─ manifest.xml
├─ README.md
├─ changelog.txt
└─ license.txt
Zip the folder and upload the zip file.
Warning: Do not include sensitive files (private keys, credentials) in your package. Malformed manifests or missing license files are common causes for rejection.
While the exact validation rules vary by site, common automated checks include manifest validation, basic package integrity, allowed file types and license declaration. Many archives also run malware scans.
Warning: Automated scans can produce false positives. If your package is flagged, review the flagged items manually and contact Museum maintainers with clarifying information when re-submitting.
Compatibility is the main technical hurdle when reusing older extensions. Manifests and install scripts are the first place to check for constraints; the code itself may rely on APIs that changed between Joomla 3 and Joomla 4.
Look for tags that indicate supported Joomla versions and PHP requirements. For Joomla 3 manifests, check the <version> and <creationDate> tags and any <files> or <scriptfile> entries. For Joomla 4 packages, check extension.json or the manifest fields that declare supported CMS versions and dependencies. Confirm any installation script names referenced in the manifest, as these scripts can require API calls that changed across versions.
Create a simple matrix to record results:
Practical example: Install an older admin module on Joomla 3.10 and Joomla 4.x in staging, test configuration forms, and note any deprecated function calls or missing classes. If the module uses legacy API names, review and patch code only after confirming legal right to modify.
Warning: Older extensions may use deprecated APIs. Enable strict error reporting on staging only and be prepared to patch code or find alternatives.
Security and licensing are central when reusing or distributing archived extensions. Always perform both automated and manual checks and confirm license terms before redistributing.
If the Museum requires GPL licensing for uploads, contributors must be entitled to license code under GPL. For users, GPL permits redistribution and modification under GPL terms but may impose obligations on downstream distribution. If licensing is unclear, seek clarification from the Museum or legal counsel before republishing.
Practical example: Locate license.txt inside a package and confirm it states the GPL version. If absent, check the manifest license tag. If both are missing, do not redistribute until you have confirmation.
Warning: A GPL license does not guarantee code safety. Even GPL-licensed packages can contain insecure or malicious code. Always scan and test before using.
Installing archived extensions can trigger errors. Know how to recover quickly to minimize downtime.
Example rollback scenario: An installed extension breaks menus. Restore the database from backup, rename the extension folder to prevent it loading, and reinstall a known-good extension version on staging to confirm the fix before redeploying.
Warning: Direct database edits carry risk. Always export the current database before making manual changes and verify SQL statements against official Joomla database documentation if you are unsure.
If you encounter problems related to an archived extension or a Museum entry, gather details and contact the appropriate support channels.
Practical template for a support message: Include extension name/version, download URL (from Museum), Joomla & PHP versions, a short description of the problem, steps to reproduce, and a copy of relevant log entries.
Warning: Never include full database dumps or unredacted personal data in public bug reports.
Not necessarily. Some archives are independent community projects. Verify the Museum’s status on its About/Contact pages and cross-check with official Joomla.org announcements before relying on it for production use.
Archives often have a licensing policy. Some may accept only GPL-licensed uploads. Verify the Museum’s policy before preparing a submission. If your code cannot be relicensed, consider vendor-hosted distribution or providing the package under the terms allowed by your license.
Use a safety checklist: inspect the manifest and metadata, run malware and static code scans, test on a staging site with matching PHP/Joomla versions, and review the author’s reputation and changelog.
You will typically receive feedback explaining the failure (manifest errors, missing license, malware flags). Fix locally using the validation checklist and re-submit. If problems persist, contact Museum maintainers for clarification.
Yes. Provide the maintainers with as much information as possible—original vendor, download links, license details and proof of permission if required. Expect response times to vary depending on curator workload and validation processes.
The Joomla Museum can be a valuable resource for locating legacy and discontinued Joomla extensions. Use it with care: verify catalog and ownership details, inspect and scan packages, test everything on a staging site that mirrors production, and follow secure submission practices if you contribute. Before making production changes, verify important technical claims against the official Museum site and Joomla documentation.
For next steps, follow up with JoomlaForever guides on creating staging sites, performing backups, and safely managing extensions.
Discovering that a long-running Joomla website was deleted is stressful, especially when all you have is a backup from 2022 and your host or installer refuses to install Joomla 3.x. This guide gives practical, step-by-step options to minimize further loss, inspect your backup, restore the site manually or locally for testing, handle compatibility problems, and plan a safe upgrade. Follow the checklists and warnings carefully—mistakes when editing databases, configuration files, or server settings can break a site.
Before attempting any restore, take these immediate actions to preserve evidence and collect everything you need.
When you contact the host, include a concise request and proof of ownership. Ask for:
Warning: Always share credentials only via secure channels with trusted parties. Publicly posting login details risks account takeover.
Before attempting a restore, verify the backup contains everything required for a working Joomla site.
Common formats include ZIP, TAR.GZ and Akeeba packages. Extract the archive locally (never execute PHP from an unknown archive) and locate the SQL file. A missing or tiny SQL file indicates an incomplete backup—contact the old host immediately if the DB dump is missing.
Warning: Do not upload configuration.php or SQL dumps to a public or production server before sanitizing credentials and ensuring the environment is safe.
If your host blocks legacy Joomla installs through Softaculous or other installers, you can often restore the backup manually. This method assumes you have a working hosting account with file and database access (cPanel, FTP, phpMyAdmin or SSH).
File Manager is convenient for uploading a single archive and extracting it. FTP is better for large sites or when you need resume support. Be careful to extract into the correct path to avoid nesting the site under an extra folder.
Warnings: Do not leave installer or leftover scripts in the webroot. Running Joomla 3.10 in production without planning an upgrade carries security risks—limit public access until you have a tested upgrade plan.
Restoring the site locally is the safest way to debug incompatibilities and prepare an upgrade without exposing an older Joomla installation to the internet.
Warning: A local environment may not exactly match your host. Use local success as a strong indicator, but re-check on a staging server that mirrors production before making the site public.
Compatibility issues are the most common source of problems when restoring an old Joomla site. Address PHP version mismatches, database settings, and third-party extensions carefully.
Warning: Renaming folders disables code execution but leaves database entries intact. Plan to uninstall or re-enable extensions properly once you have a migration strategy. Running outdated extensions publicly increases security risk—limit exposure.
Once the site is restored and stable in a test environment, plan a careful upgrade. Major core upgrades can alter the database schema and break extensions if done without preparation.
If the site uses many custom extensions, custom code, or mission-critical functionality, hiring an experienced Joomla developer or agency to handle the upgrade can reduce risk and save time.
Warning: Confirm the official upgrade path and recommended steps from Joomla documentation before executing an upgrade. Database schema changes during upgrades may be irreversible without a tested backup and rollback.
If Softaculous or a host policy prevents installing Joomla 3, these alternatives usually work.
Warning: If you deploy a VPS or container to host a legacy Joomla instance, secure it promptly and do not keep the legacy environment public longer than necessary.
Before changing DNS, run a final set of smoke tests in staging and prepare a planned cutover window.
Warning: Do not forget to regenerate SSL certificates after moving servers. Purge caches to avoid serving stale content.
To avoid this situation going forward, implement robust backup and hosting practices.
Warning: Relying solely on host backups can fail in billing or ownership disputes. Maintain your own off-site backups and verify restore procedures periodically.
Usually yes. Manual restore is commonly possible: upload the site files, create a new database, import the SQL dump, update configuration.php and test on a staging or local environment. If you lack access or the SQL is too large, ask your host for temporary support or use a VPS/local environment.
Restore the site in a private staging or local environment first. If you need it public temporarily, limit exposure, restrict access and plan a fast upgrade to a supported version. Verify current support and security guidance from official Joomla documentation before deciding.
Missing configuration.php or SQL dump indicates an incomplete backup. Immediately contact the old host for server backups. Check archived copies (Wayback Machine) and local or developer copies. If the DB is irretrievable, content may need partial rebuilding from cached copies or archives.
Temporarily disable non-core extensions by renaming their folders or via the database, switch to a core template, then update or replace extensions in a staging environment. For essential functionality, find modern replacements and plan content or data migration if necessary.
Recovering a long-running Joomla site after a host deletion is challenging but usually possible. In short: gather evidence and copies, inspect the backup for files and the SQL dump, restore manually to new hosting or locally for testing, address compatibility issues carefully, and plan a staged upgrade to a supported Joomla version. Finally, adopt a stronger backup and hosting strategy to prevent recurrence. When in doubt, or when custom code or critical extensions are involved, consider hiring an experienced Joomla developer to assist with migration and upgrades.
Note: Verify version-specific system requirements, exact configuration.php variables, and upgrade paths against the official Joomla documentation before making production changes.
If your host removed a long-running Joomla site and all you have is a backup from 2022 (Joomla 3.10), don’t panic. This guide gives a practical, step-by-step rescue plan you can follow yourself or hand to a technician. You will learn how to preserve the backup, inspect its contents, choose an appropriate restore method, test safely in staging, and take immediate hardening and migration steps.
Before attempting any restore, stop any action that might overwrite or destroy the backup. Follow this short checklist to preserve evidence and prepare for recovery.
How you download matters. Use cPanel File Manager or FTP to avoid corrupting the archive. Name and date-stamp local copies, for example: site-backup-2022-10-12.zip. Keep one copy offline (external drive) and one copy in cloud storage (e.g., Google Drive or Dropbox).
In cPanel File Manager: locate the archive, select it, click Download. Save one copy locally on your computer and upload a second copy to your cloud account.
Do not re-run installers or let an automated installer rewrite files while preparing a manual restore.
Inspect the backup archive before attempting any restore. Knowing what you have will determine which restore method to use.
configuration.php, /administrator, /components, /templates, /images, /media and others. The database dump should contain CREATE TABLE statements and a table prefix.configuration.php at the archive root — it contains database names, prefixes and paths (handle securely)..sql or compressed SQL file, open the first lines to confirm it contains CREATE TABLE statements and a table prefix (for example jos_ or a custom prefix).Open the ZIP in cPanel and confirm presence of configuration.php and backup.sql. Note the DB prefix from the SQL header for later use.
configuration.php contains credentials — keep it secure and do not paste it into public forums or emails.
Hosts have different backup and retention policies. Contact them quickly and request explicit items to improve recovery chances.
Polite request: Please provide any available snapshots or backups for account X dated around YYYY-MM-DD. If possible, provide downloadable links for a full site archive and database export or restore the snapshot to a temporary subdomain for my testing. Thank you.
Do not assume host staff will perform upgrades or migrate the site. Clarify that you only want a copy or a one-time restore unless you explicitly request a migration.
Choose a method based on what the backup contains and what access you have. Below are three common approaches, from easiest to most manual.
If your backup file ends in .jpa, use Akeeba Kickstart. If you have a ZIP of site files plus a separate .sql, use the Manual method. If the host can restore a snapshot for your account, the Host/Softaculous restore is often the fastest.
Before any restore, ensure the target environment supports the PHP and MySQL versions required by Joomla 3.10 — verify this against official Joomla documentation before making production changes.
This procedure assumes you have a ZIP of site files and a database .sql file and access to cPanel and phpMyAdmin.

For large SQL files, use chunked import tools or ask the host for help to avoid timeouts.configuration.php to update DB credentials: $host, $user, $password, $db and the $dbprefix if needed. Also check $log_path, $tmp_path and $live_site values.Create database restored_db and user restored_user, import backup.sql with phpMyAdmin, update configuration.php with the recorded DB credentials and then visit the staging URL to test /administrator login.

Restoring to a local machine or a staging subdomain is strongly recommended. Test there before exposing the restored Joomla 3.10 site to the public.
configuration.php to use local DB credentials and either set $live_site or use the hosts file to map the live domain to your local host.Local environments can differ from production. Always test differences in PHP/MySQL versions and extensions.
Once the site is restored and tested in staging, perform these immediate checks before going live.
configuration.php values: $host, $user, $password, $db, $dbprefix, plus $log_path, $tmp_path and $live_site if used.Do not enable SEO-friendly URLs until you confirm that mod_rewrite and .htaccess are configured correctly on the new host.
After restore you may find disabled or missing extensions or templates. Here is how to identify and address those issues safely.
/components/com_xxx and /administrator/components/com_xxx folders and restore them, or download the original package from the vendor./templates. If assets are missing, the layout can break — restore template files from backup or reinstall the template and reapply settings stored in the DB.Avoid installing legacy extension packages from unknown sources — this can introduce malware. Prefer official vendor downloads or JED-listed packages.
Joomla 3.10 is near the end of its lifecycle; restored sites should not be left exposed without hardening and an upgrade plan.
Restores often encounter a few predictable errors. Keep error reporting on for staging and consult logs to find root causes.
.htaccess to rule out rewrite rules, verify PHP version and extensions, and confirm file permissions.configuration.php, ensure the DB exists and that the DB user has correct privileges. Check whether the DB host should be localhost or a socket/hostname provided by the host.Enable error reporting only on staging — error output on a public site can reveal sensitive information to attackers.
Consider hiring a professional if backups are incomplete, databases appear corrupted, or the site uses heavily customized code. Preparing clear information will speed recovery and reduce cost.
Do not share permanent root or long-term credentials. Use temporary accounts or change passwords after the job is done.
Possibly. A manual restore (uploading files and importing the SQL) or using Akeeba Kickstart can recreate an older site without the host using an installer. If the host blocks required PHP versions or script execution, use a staging environment or a different host. Verify host restrictions and PHP/MySQL compatibility first.
Open the archive and confirm presence of configuration.php, /administrator, key folders like /components and a database dump (.sql). Check that the SQL contains CREATE TABLE statements and a consistent table prefix. Keep sensitive files private while inspecting.
Use Akeeba Kickstart: upload the .jpa and kickstart.php to the restoration folder, run the script, follow the installer prompts, and complete post-restore cleanup. If the host blocks Kickstart, restore locally or on another host.
Change all passwords, remove unused admin accounts, update or remove outdated extensions, enable two-factor authentication for admin accounts if available, and create a new full backup before attempting upgrades.
There is an official upgrade path, but compatibility checks for templates and extensions are required. Always test upgrades on a staging copy, back up before changes, and verify details against the official Joomla upgrade documentation before proceeding.
Provide backup files or download links, cPanel access or screenshots, the SQL dump, recent error logs, a list of priority pages/features, and temporary credentials that can be revoked after work finishes.
Restoring a Joomla 3.10 backup after a host deletion is manageable with a careful, staged approach: preserve multiple copies of the backup, inspect its contents, choose the right restore method (host snapshot, manual or Akeeba), test in staging, harden the restored site, and plan a migration to a supported Joomla version. If the process feels risky or files are missing, collect the diagnostic information and hand it to a developer with the checklist provided. Verify compatibility and any version-specific details against official Joomla and vendor documentation before making production changes.
If your Joomla 3.10 site shows warnings about extensions when preparing to upgrade to Joomla 4, you are not alone. The Joomla core provides an upgrade path, but third-party extensions, templates and server settings are the usual sources of post-upgrade breakage. This article gives a step-by-step, conservative workflow you can follow even as a non-expert: inventory extensions, make and test backups, clone to staging, run the upgrade there, and only then upgrade production with a clear rollback plan.
At a high level, Joomla 4 modernises the admin interface, enforces stricter coding standards, and removes or replaces several Joomla 3 APIs. These changes mean extensions and templates that rely on older APIs or PHP features may stop working or generate errors after upgrade.
Practical example: template overrides that call removed helper functions or extensions that use deprecated events may break forms, module rendering or admin features after upgrade.
Warning: Do not assume an extension that works on 3.10 will continue to work on Joomla 4 without an update from the vendor. Also, changing the server PHP version on a live site can cause immediate downtime — always test changes in staging first.
Upgrades rarely "blow up" if planned well, but realistic failure modes include blank front-end pages, admin login errors, broken forms or payment flows, and 500 errors caused by incompatible PHP code.
Before upgrading, verify your site is not compromised. Check recent access logs, review admin users and change passwords if there are unknown accounts. Upgrading an infected site will not remove backdoors and could make diagnosis harder.
Practical example: If a custom contact extension stops working after upgrade, disabling or replacing that extension in staging will usually restore functionality while you plan a replacement in production.
Warning: Upgrading a compromised site can mask ongoing malicious activity. Perform a security audit first or involve a security professional.
Follow this ordered checklist before attempting any upgrade activity on production.
In the Joomla administrator go to Extensions → Manage → Manage. For each item, record: name | type (component, module, plugin) | version | vendor URL | Joomla 4 compatibility (yes/no/unknown). A simple spreadsheet or text table works well.
Checklist before clicking upgrade:
Warning: A backup is useful only if you can restore it. Practice the restore process before an actual upgrade. Do not assume hosting snapshots include both files and databases—verify the snapshot scope with your host.
A pragmatic audit classifies extensions as Compatible, Incompatible, or Unknown. Use vendor changelogs, the Joomla Extensions Directory (JED), and staging tests to decide.
The updater may flag extensions that are not known to be compatible. Treat these warnings as prompts to investigate — they are indicators, not absolute proofs of incompatibility.
Practical inventory row example: mod_customcarousel | module | 1.2.0 | vendor.your production domain | Unknown — flag for testing or replacement.
Warning: Do not remove system or core plugins without documenting their configuration first; doing so may disable essential features.
Always try the upgrade in staging first. The sequence below is a safe way to validate the process and identify incompatible extensions.
Use host tools or manually copy files and DB. Update configuration.php to reflect changed DB/URL values. Change PHP on staging via your hosting control panel—document the version used for repeatability.
Use the Joomla Update component and review the post-upgrade database messages. If errors occur, capture full error text and trace which extension/file caused them.
Practical example: a protected staging subdomain: switch PHP to (target), run updater, then verify that contact form submissions create records and that admin article save works. If contact form fails with a fatal error referencing a third-party package, disable that package in staging and test again.
Warning: Do not use production API keys for payment gateways in staging. Also, ensure staging is blocked from search engines to avoid duplicate content indexing.
When staging tests pass, schedule the live upgrade in a low-traffic window and follow a conservative sequence to reduce downtime and risk.
After a successful core upgrade, update third-party extensions in controlled batches. Prioritise critical functionality (payment, security, SEO) and test after each extension update to isolate issues.
Warning: The Joomla core updater generally upgrades core packages. Most third-party extensions require separate updates from their vendors. If your site uses composer-managed packages, verify composer workflows before attempting an upgrade on production.
These are the first checks to run immediately after upgrading production.
Use process of elimination: temporarily disable non-critical extensions in small groups and retest. Switch to a default Joomla template to determine if the template is the cause of front-end failures.
If admin is completely inaccessible you can disable plugins via the database. Warning: editing the database directly can make the site unusable if done incorrectly. Always backup the database before running any SQL.
Example SQL to disable a system plugin (replace yourtableprefix_ with your DB prefix and plugin identifiers):
UPDATE yourtableprefix_extensions SET enabled = 0 WHERE type = 'plugin' AND folder = 'system' AND element = 'plugin_name';
Record every change you make and test immediately after each change so you can revert accurately.
Warning: Only use database edits as an emergency measure and verify the exact table and column names for your Joomla version and installation before executing SQL statements.
If an important extension has no Joomla 4 update, you have several paths: contact the vendor, find a replacement, temporarily remove or work around the feature, or hire a developer to port or rebuild the functionality.
If the extension is custom and mission-critical, porting to Joomla 4 or rebuilding it using Joomla 4 APIs may be necessary. This usually requires a developer and a clear specification of current behaviour to estimate cost and time.
Decision flow (simplified): Update available → update; No update but active vendor → contact vendor; Abandoned → find replacement or plan rebuild.
Warning: Running obsolete extensions on Joomla 4 may cause security issues. Do not leave critical functionality unpatched indefinitely.
Use this compact checklist to triage and recover quickly if something goes wrong after the upgrade.
Identify the most recent clean backup and, if possible, test restoring it in a staging environment before applying it to production. Know your host's snapshot restore procedure and timings ahead of time.
After a restore, try the upgrade again using a smaller, more controlled approach: core upgrade, verify, then update a small set of extensions and test thoroughly.
Warning: Repeatedly restoring without identifying the root cause can hide recurring problems—capture logs and document errors before rolling back.
Consider hiring a Joomla developer if your site uses custom-coded extensions/templates, runs mission-critical ecommerce, or if you do not have the time or confidence to manage the risk.
Consider paid support from extension vendors, migration services, or certified Joomla partners for specific tasks like porting an extension or troubleshooting a template. These options can be less expensive than full custom porting.
Warning: Ensure any contractor has Joomla 4 experience and can demonstrate prior migration work. Require a staging environment and a test plan as part of the engagement.
Not usually. The core updater is designed to migrate Joomla installations, but incompatible third-party extensions or templates are the main source of post-upgrade breakage. Reduce risk with full backups, a staging dry run, and an extension audit.
Check the extension vendor's changelog and support pages, review compatibility notes in the Joomla Extensions Directory, and test in staging. If compatibility information is missing, flag the extension as 'Unknown' and plan to test or replace it.
Match the server PHP to the Joomla 4 minimum in staging first. Do not change the live site's PHP until the upgrade is tested in staging with the new PHP version. Verify the exact required PHP version against official Joomla documentation before making changes.
Options include contacting the vendor, finding a supported replacement, temporarily removing or working around the feature, or hiring a developer to port or rebuild the functionality. Use the decision flow in the article to choose a path based on criticality and budget.
Yes—if you have a tested full backup or host snapshot. Always test restores in staging ahead of a production upgrade and document the restore steps so you can act quickly if needed.
Upgrading from Joomla 3.10 to Joomla 4 is achievable and safe when approached methodically. Key steps: create and test a full backup, clone to staging, inventory and audit extensions, run the core upgrade in staging with debug enabled, and only then schedule the live upgrade with a rollback plan. If you are unsure at any point, consider paid support from extension vendors or a Joomla developer experienced with migrations.
Next steps we recommend:

CSS has from the age of the Internet been a part of doing websites. It is an easy but useful way to design an article. There are several ways to write CSS in Joomla, you can use an external file to store all CSS codes in, you can use an extension to include the code, or you can write CSS directly in the content. In this article, I will give some look into how I do it.
In this article, I will show you three different ways to use CSS in an article. The easiest thing is to use an extension to add CSS to the article. There are several extensions in the JED (Joomla Extensions Directory) that gives this opportunity. One of the popular is Sourcerer from Regular Labs. But its also possible to do in-line CSS coding in every article, but this can be very ineffective in large articles, the third and maybe most used is to put the CSS codes into the template as eighter an external file or in the CSS capabilities of the template itself. In modern template-Framework is this common, the disadvantage of this is that you always need access to the backend to add extra CSS in your site.
W3C CSS verified: W3c.org is setting the standards for CSS
If you prefer to do the CSS coding inline as you write an article, you must bear in mind that you will NOT be able to reuse the CSS on any other articles and you must repeat the same thing for every content with the same code. This could look like this:
<a href="/home" style="background-color:#ff0000;color:#ffffff;">Home</a>
This will output: Home
If you use an external file as a CSS source, it is normally located under the css folder in your template directory. And its usually called custom.css or user.css, the downside with this is that you need access to either FTP or bee logged in to the backend as a Super Administrator.
If you want to use an extension to insert CSS in an article, you can not reuse the CSS codes without having it in every article that contains the same style.
A combination of the option 2 and 3, will give the easiest result and you can standardize some of the CSS styles in a file and add styles in that applies to certain articles at one addon at the end of the written article.
- LET ME KNOW IF YOU KNOW ANY OTHER WAYS TO DO THIS IN THE COMMENTS BELOW -
