Template Upgrades

[Ron B]

I am attempting to upgrade the Homemaker 1.0.0 template with

jl_homemaker_pro_j3x_installation_1.0.3.zip

.
I’ve tried a simple update/overwrite of the homemaker template folder but that overwrites everything so it is not usable in this case.

JL-Homemaker-J3x-Quickstart-1.0.3.zip

with a similar result.
What is the correct procedure to update an existing template?

Correction – using JL-Homemaker-J3x-Quickstart-1.0.3.zip creates a 500 error condition.

Hi there,

“I’ve tried a simple update/overwrite of the homemaker template folder but that overwrites everything so it is not usable in this case.”

Please backup your template first, next copy the custom folder ((joomla/templates/template_name/custom)) in template then reinstall latest template.

Note: Custom folder included template settings and all particles/custom scss files so if you need to update the template, simply backup this folder and install the new template version.

Next, delete the custom folder (joomla/templates/template_name/custom) then copy back the custom folder to template folder.

Thank you
