I used the Ja-extension manager to upgrade my site from Joomla 1.7 to Joomla 2.5. While it shows the template upgrade was successful, my joomla footer in admin is still displaying joomla 1.7. Not sure what is happening. I have cleared the cache several times, no changes.

I also followed the instruction here http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/upgrading-to-joomla-2-5/

But this did not get me anywhere.

This may seem like a very stupid question but have you upgraded Joomla itself? JA Extension Manager only updates all the JA parts not the core system.

Take a backup first using akeeba before you upgrade – I cannot stress how important this is – make sure you have a backup before you begin.

Then you can follow these instructions – http://docs.joomla.org/Upgrading_from_an_existing_version

For upgrading JA elements I think the procedure is first JA Extension Manager, then using JA Extension Manager – T3, then modules, then template.

Hope that helps – don’t forget that backup! 🙂

Thanks…that was a lot of pain getting the upgrade. I ran into several issues and finally had to do a manual upgrade using the good ol’ ftp method. I have another site I upgraded and didn’t run into issues like this. That site uses another template from another developer. So maybe Joomlart should look into simplifying the version upgrade process in the future.
