Thanks John")* Hi, You should first upgrade joomla and then HikaShop. The upgrade shouldn't be a problem although the configuration changed a lot and you will have to reconfigure "show add to cart button" option of the configuration. That's pretty much it. Of course, you should do a backup before each step in case something goes wrong.
