Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    I have a website that needs upgrading from Joomla 1.5 to 3. I want to know how much it will cost to do this if I were to get someone to do it.

    It's not a massive site and has a online store using virtuemart (about 15 products) All that needs to be brought over is the users and store information.

    It needs to be responsive as the old site is not mobile friendly and thats were most of traffic is viewing from. If someone wants link to site, pm me.

    Now, there isn't a job on offer here as I'll be doing it myself. I just need a ballpark figure I could show my employer as they wouldn't have a clue.

    If it's not a massive site and there's only 15 products I would think the budget would be better spent getting away from Joomla entirely.

    What would you suggest? One of the main reasons for keeping joomla was to keep hold of users.

    Going from 1.5 to 2.5 is ok but then going to 3+ is a pain

    plugins, themes, components and modules all have to be replaced. Database gets massive with all the tables. Idid one recently where I started with a fresh install of 3, copied the content over via database and setup menus, new theme etc - took 3days x costs

    I agree with a fresh install + new theme, i've exported articles and imported them to a 3.0 install from 1.5 but didnt work so well with VM products.
