How to flash the kernel in joomla

To flash the Joomla kernel, you will need to perform the following steps:

1. Create a backup copy of your website and database. This is important so that in case of problems you can go back to the previous version.

2. Download the latest version of the Joomla kernel from the official website (https://www.joomla.org/download.html ).

3. Unpack the downloaded archive on your computer.

4. Connect to the server where your site is hosted using an FTP client (for example, FileZilla) or the file management panel of your hosting provider.

5. Go to the folder where you have Joomla installed. This is usually a folder with the name of your site.

6. In the Joomla core folder, find the files and folders that need to be replaced. Usually these are all files and folders, except for the «administrator» and «templates» folders.

7. Upload new files and folders from the unpacked archive to the Joomla core folder on your server. At the same time, you may be asked to confirm the replacement of existing files.

8. After all files and folders are downloaded, clear the Joomla cache. To do this, go to the Joomla admin panel, select the menu «System» -> «Clear cache».

9. Check the operation of your site after updating the kernel. Make sure that all functions work correctly and there are no errors.

It's important to note that flashing the Joomla core can be a daunting task, especially if you have additional extensions and templates. Therefore, before performing the update, it is recommended to read the Joomla documentation and follow the recommendations of the developers.
