Things to do before Joomla Migration Before migrating to new Joomla version make sure that you have the backup of your website. Never let the version number proximity e.g. Joomla 1.5 and Joomla 1.6, confuse you – In Fact Joomla 1.6 was launched after three years of development and has undergone many vital changes. Joomla backend codes differ entirely from every version released. User data structure is the major key player for proper website alignment and template alignment; it differs for each Joomla versions.
Before moving from your current Joomla version to New Joomla version
While upgrading to new Joomla, few extensions which would have worked in old Joomla will be disabled or removed due to compatibility issues, make sure to search in Google and install the alternate extensions. Custom made Templates may not be compatible , without knowing template compatibility it is not advisable to start migration. Check Joomla admin dashboard for visible errors, which may exists due to corrupted extensions, make sure to fix them. Verify any customization you have done to your current Joomla version, as architectural level varies between your current Joomla version and new Joomla version, these changes may not work appropriately and requires rework.
Importance of auto emailing to your contact list: Make sure to turn email setting off in Joomla Global Configuration; otherwise system will send unwanted migration notification email to users.
Important Note: Any website malwares should be removed before migration.
