Joomla Programming: two extensions are both trying to own the

When the request is joomla programming, we look at the live site first. The check we expect to matter is: two extensions are both trying to own the same page.

What is usually wrong

• Two extensions are both trying to own the same page
• The PHP version on the host is newer than this Joomla release
• The public site loads and the admin login loops
• Mail from the contact form stopped after a host change

What we look at

We look at the Joomla version, the extensions that are actually enabled, and the page that broke. Reinstalling the whole site is the last option, not the first.

• A database backup from before the update
• The menu item and the URL that 404s
• Whether the failure is core, template, or a third-party add-on
• The extension that was updated last

How the job starts

If the feature does not exist yet, we still start from the page that needs it. We do not rebuild the parts that already work just to have a clean repository.

Development on a live system is a change with a before and an after. We say which file, module, or query we are touching, and what the page should do when we are done.

Most of this work happens on the site you already have. You do not need to be in Toronto. The first step is still a look at the live page.

Call 905-426-1784. We look at the site and tell you what the work is before it starts. The service page for this is Joomla help.
