#Joomla update update#
On Joomla 3 go to the Extensions, Manage, Update Sites menu item. With Joomla 4 a large amount of previous legacy code has been removed. We advise that Joomla 4 upgrades should always be done on a testing server and not directly on the live site. First we are going to check if the Update Site is disabled. Also make sure to check through each of the items in the Joomla 4 update pre-check and solve any issues there before proceeding. Before you update to Joomla 4, make sure you have a viable backup. Once that is complete, you can now navigate back to the Joomla Update screen and your Joomla 4 update should be available. In our example, it is the Joomla Core update site that is disabled and preventing the website from seeing the available Joomla update so we re-enable the record called Joomla! Core. However, there is no mechanism to automatically re-enable a disabled update site, so to re-enable this setting manually navigate into Extensions > Manage > Update Sites. When an update site can't be reached for whatever reason, the system will automatically disable it in Extensions > Manage > Update Sites so that it is not constantly checking an update site that may have gone offline. This probem occurs when the Joomla! Core update site is disabled in the database.
