Hi

You can use the Ja_Extension Manager component to Update your JaT3 Framework plugin to the latest version

Then update your Ja_Wall template version and use Joomla Extension manager to update to the latest 3.1.5 version

First to start your migration take a full backup of your website using Akeeba component

I can’t see ” JaT3 Framework plugin” within the Ja_Extension Manager ?

I can see the Ja_Wall update and I’ve backed up.

I just looked in the Plug-in Manager, no sign of JaT3 Framework plugin.

Sorry, I think a little mistake was made there. JA Wall does not use the JAT3 framework so no need to update that. Just update all of the rest of your JA Extensions through JA Extension manager then update any other 3rd party extensions through the Joomla updater if they support it. Finally, use the Joomla updater to update Joomla itself. I personally would do this on an offline copy of my site (I use Akkeba to take the copy and WAMP to run a local server on my pc) so I can test and debug everything safely and quickly. Once complete I use Akeeba to restore the updated site to my live hosting.
