So far, we have found no great difficulty upgrading Joomla 1.7 sites to Joomla 2.5 sites. If you have Extensions, double check with their authors to see that the extensions work in Joomla 2.5. If you use Seblod 2.0, it does not work with Joomla 2.5 at the moment. If you experiencing problems upgrading, get in contact with us.
