I need my Joomla site moved from version 5.4.7 to 6.1.2 while keeping everything running smoothly. The job includes: • Upgrading the Joomla core and database to 6.1.2 without data loss. • Updating our purchased themes so layouts, style settings, and overrides render perfectly on the new version. • Checking every active extension and plugin on my pre-compiled list for 6.x compatibility; apply patches or suggest alternatives where needed. • Full front-end and back-end testing—desktop and mobile—to confirm pages load correctly, forms submit, and no console errors appear. • A brief rollback plan in case anything goes wrong and clear documentation of steps taken so future maintenance is straightforward. Please be comfortable working in a staging environment first, then pushing changes live once I’ve signed off.

Moving Joomla from 5.4.7 to 6.1.2 safely is all about doing it on staging first with a solid rollback plan, and that's exactly how I work—nothing touches your live site until you've signed off. I'll clone the site to a staging environment, take a full file and database backup, then upgrade the core and database to 6.1.2 and confirm no data loss. I'll update your purchased themes so layouts, style settings, and template overrides render correctly on 6.x, then go through every extension and plugin on your list for compatibility—applying patches or recommending alternatives where anything breaks. After thorough front-end and back-end testing on desktop and mobile (pages, forms, and a clean console), I'll push it live once you approve, and hand you a rollback plan plus clear documentation of the steps taken. I can start right away.

Hey, jumping from 5.4 to 6.1 is a significant leap, especially with those custom theme overrides that usually break during the core migration. I’ll start by cloning your site into a staging environment to isolate the database schema changes before touching the live files. The real headache here is usually outdated plugin dependencies that conflict with the new PHP requirements, but I’ve handled plenty of these version jumps. Do you have a list of the specific extensions you're most worried about?
