If you are up to 1.7 and also k2 2.5 and your items, categories, and users etc are there, next is the task of putting a 1.7 compatiable template to the site and redoing your modules and menus.
Some of them may work, but best bet would be to go thru the site and test everything after updating the template..Depending on your site, this may or may not be a simple task

GAH I did one step out of step. I backed up AFTER I upgraded K2. It didn't really hurt anything other than threw some mods out of whack and I noticed after doing the Jupgrade my template and all my installed components and such were missing from the menu. Should I have gone ahead and just updated my template to a 1.7 one just to see if it would help or did not doing that one step in the order you suggested cause the issue?

I am also having some issues with this but with a slight difference and that is that the site is completely new. Newest joomla and newest K2. Under the "Item View Options" under the "Social Sharing" section I have Twitter, Facebook and Google+ all set to show but on my test post within this category nothing shows. How do I get the images to show?

Do I have to add my info for each of those accounts? Should they auto show? Where should we look for compression settings? I do not think my template compresses anything.

Also does the "Social Settings" under the K2 "Parameters" tab have anything to do with these social icons?

1. Get akeeba and backup and dl the jpa first!
Upgrade Joomla with the package from Joomla.org from wherever you are to 1.5.24
Upgrade to K2 2.5 on this install - use latest package
Now get jupgrade and do the upgrade of the site to 1.7
Test the result in the jupgrade directory.
Look at administrator and check k2 version
If necessary install 2.5 again to the latest release
Jupgrade (may) have added support for upgrading the component k2, but i havent seen it working yet.
Now, what about the template and other extensions and plugins.....
The most important part of this process is step #1

Hello lovelies!

I'm so happy you all upgraded so that WE could upgrade. I'm always loyal to good work. Now, the other day I tried updating my entire Joomla installation via instructions I found here. As I wanted to update my k2 as well and not risk losing our content.

I saw that I was to update k2 first THEN use Jupdate to do the rest. The K2 upgrade went swimmingly. Jupdate updated us from 1.5 to 1.5.24 but would go no further. I found another link to use instructions found on the Wiki and that's where it went wrong. The story ended with us having to have our hosting company do a restore back to a week ago.

I have tried the Joomla forums but honestly I tend to get better advice over here than I do there and it's VERY important that we keep our k2 data in tact. That is where 95% of our content lives, lol. We'd like to fully upgrade, to 1.7 is there a way to do so or I should say an easier way that we've been told via the Wiki? One that keeps in mind we are NOT developers (we're gamers and geeky but we're NOT developers so the instructions need to be simple, like we're 5 year olds)

We appreciate any help offered.

I'm currently using joomla 1.7 and K2 v2.5 (SVN)
I already put some categories and items

Can I upgrade my K2 to the latest version without loosing my existing categories & items?

Hi, just upgraded K2 to 2.5, can anyone tell me how to change K2_COMMENT to just Comment? Most of my site visitors will NOT know what KT_COMMENT is.

Thanks!

Causes by your Joomla Main Template not from K2

I have the same issue on two sites currently. One was a fresh install on Joomla 1.521 and the other an upgrade install on 1.523. Same exact issue as described above. Fix anyone?
