This is the core of k2, any changes you make there will be lost on upgrade.
You might try catching the array of items in a template override and reordering them before displaying them

The same happens to me.

I upgraded to version K2 2.6.5 (February 8th, 2013 - Version 2.6.5) and Joomla to 2.5.9. Since this happened, the module K2 NivoSlider stopped working. Before this worked well. I do not know what could have happened. Not output any error.

What did you do to solve it?

Please help me!

Is it possible to edit the k2 CSS and have this maintained after an upgrade (i.e. a separate css file)?

Hi szecska,

your problems is a better complexe... I don't think so that is just because you used K2...
Do you Have a VPS or Dedier or public server (many users on the machines) ?...

More people you have in your website more that you need to optimize your code into your website.
So Just look your RAM and upgrade your server...

You may also talk with your Server Provider for this problems.. they will be help you to choose a better option for you..

Also... check many provider to deal with yours the prices ;-)


Best regards,

I recently upgraded my K2 to version 2.6.5 and I figure out when I'm not login the K2 Tag menu does not work property, all of the menu tags result same content, this should be related to cache system because while I'm loged in to the system, everything work correctly.

please examples:

zoomit.ir/ces
zoomit.ir/microsoft
zoomit.ir/apple
zoomit.ir/ces-2012
zoomit.ir/android
zoomit.ir/android-guide
....
do you have a quick fix or I should roll back to oldest version.

Thank you in advance for your prompt reply.

• don't upgrade production site.
• if upgrade: do it on your own risc.
• if something went wrong, do 301 redirects from old to new urls.
• don't wait any serious help from this community - nobody has time to help you. all the time of all users, which could be spended for helping, is exhausted for filling captchas befor posting and for waiting of the anti-flooding gap. say thanks to forum owners.
• think about it and if you haven't good help or much knowledge, don't use k2 for production. if something goes wrong, you fail.

ps: learn russian;)

I am running a joomla 1.5.26 site on a IIS 7.5 server with PHP 5.3.19. When ever I try to edit articles from the front end with IE as my browser, I get a stack overflow error at line 1. When you click ok, the stack overflow error pops up again. I do not get this error with google chrome or firefox. I have changed editors from JCE to TinyMCE and FCKeditor all with the same results.

This site was working wonderfully on a previous version of joomla with PHP 5.2 and K2. We had to upgrade PHP, which forced the upgrade of K2. I have tried to figure this out and I am getting no where. My website users are frustrated as am I.

Can anyone give me some suggestions on what to do to track down this error?

Yes, thanks. Its work. :)
There is no other way to enable extrafield in user.php without problems with upgrade k2? Its imposible in template directly?

Hello. I recently upgraded to the lastest K2 2.6.5. Around the same time, I started noticing an interesting anomaly in my Category article display pages. For some reason, the last article always gets separated from the rest of them by styling and code. I have it set up to display 1 leading and 4 primary. If I remove the leading and just make 5 primary, the article issue disappears but still the same issue exists for the pagination at the bottom of the site. This does not happen on article pages or on categories pages that do not pagination.

I have tried reverting back to the default k2 template. I am using RT Maelstrom template. I do not know if this may have something to do with it or not. I never noticed this issue before though. I am using Joomla 2.5.9. I've also tried clearing joomla and browser cache.

You can see the issue on this page by scrolling to the bottom

Any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Go to line 375 in k2.css and add in width: 300px; before the final }.
Be sure to create an override folder in your joomla template folder first or everything you've done will be lost at the next upgrade.

Nice work. It would be good if you could override the file/s in question instead of modifying them directly to protect your changes from upgrade.
I have not figured out how to do that yet....

I've upgraded to K2 2.6.5 on Joomla 2.5 and read below tips and start making Hidden Menu and the make Menu Item Type of K2 Categories, then selected all categories and set show for alies, but nothing happen and still duplicated problem is persist, would you please help us to make it happen

In the blog post for K2 v2.6.4 I also described a way to avoid duplicate URL creation for users, tags, search and date listings. In K2 v2.6.5 we've made this process even simpler. All you need to do is simply create a new menu in Joomla! (call it "Hidden" as it won't be directly called from any module) and in there create a K2 menu item pointing to all categories. Give this menu item a nice alias, e.g. "show" (as we also do here on getk2.org). If you do this, K2 is now able to "assign" this menu item as "root" for all such "menu orphan" K2 content such as tags, users, search and date listings. We call this content "menu orphan" because they are K2 pages created from links present on K2 categories and items (the backbone of K2 content) and don't necessarily have to exist under some Joomla! menu. Of course you can create direct menu links to select users or tags, but it's simply impossible to do that for all tags and users in a site. So by using this "trick", even if you don't have any other menu item pointing to K2 content in your site, you can rest assured all K2 content URLs will begin with this menu alias you've set.

I have modified the k2_content routine with a conditional to check if a setting in the backend was chosen and modify the query accordingly. To validate that it wasn't my code cause the issue, I upgraded to the newest version of K2 in a test, which removed any modifications I made to the code. This didn't help. So the version you are seeing on the live site is with my modifications. When running on the new version of K2, my edits are not there and there is no notable difference in the performance.

Basically, what the code I added does is check to see if the k2 item has been marked in the backend as "within the last 45 days". If it is, then I add a bit to the query to say to only pull certain events that have a created date within the last 45 days.

In the case of the items that are on the "sports pages", the two switches that are checked are both "negative" so the query remains unmodified, so the code is identical to the original K2_content code.

So, in short, my code edits only apply on the home page examples, not the sports pages. And replacing my edited version with the original K2_content php doesn't improve things.

Good observation, but I don't think it is what's causing the issues here...

Also, I'm using the JaT3 framework and the css/js compression built in there. I have to at least combine the css files or I have issues with the Internet Explorer css limit on the Inside Sports...coaches directory page, but even with things in no compression, no minification, no combining, no cache, it still has the problem.

Hi, upgraded to K2 2.6.5
When the advanced Sef is enabled, the items attachments are not working: error 404

Here's the attachment url ending:
/download/4_4335be351944ff48b04dfb8a8293b42c

And here's the working attachment url, when SEF is disabled:
/item/download/4_4335be351944ff48b04dfb8a8293b42c

I'm not sure what you exactly mean by creating a bug report here and go back to blog item. How can I create a bug report and where do I go back to 'blog item'.

I just upgraded to version 2.6.5. So the item.php is active again in websiteroot/components/com_k2/templates/default. So also the problem is back. You can check any item in my website, they now all have the wrong layout. I have used the Extreme template from themexpert. You can check demo.themexpert.com. On top select the Extreme templaten. Then just open the item Fast and Lightweight and you will see how the layout should look like in item view.

Please let me know if you need more or other info.

First BACKUP your 1.5 site......so you can restore it if necessary
i would move the akeeba backup jpa file to localhost and test the upgrade process there
You can use jupgrade from redcomponent.com or you can do it manually
This link may help getk2.org/documentation/tips-a-tricks/311-manually-migrating-k2-content-from-joomla-15-to-17

I would move the 1.5 site to the latest 1.6 version first
then install the latest k2 version and test to see if things work
then do the upgrade to 2.5 and reinstall k2 over the top

I am new to Joomla and K2. am trying to take a site that is using Joomla 1.5.15 up to 2.5. it uses K2 v.2.2 I presume all needs to be updated including the template which it looks like is available in an updated version for 2.5 (Verdant).

I would like some guidance on the order of events to upgrade all these products without losing the clients work. most of his site content utilizes K2. have read about an extension available for the migration in Joomla but what about K2, does that get updated first or after.

please advise. any direction is greatly appreciated.

Hi Pulkit,

I had the same on a local website after an upgrade. I think cleaning the website cache solved the problem for me.

Waiting does the same too :-)

After the upgrade K2 to version 2.6.3 is not working registration form K2. Issued 404 - Component not found.
After removal of the K2 does not work and the native form of Joomla (the same error).

Reinstall the K2 2.5.7. It worked.

Joomla 2.5.8.
Template "OT Corp MX"

Where to look for the problem? Does not affect whether the folder com_k2 in the site template?
