Quick notes on installation
If the host web server has ZIP support enabled with PHP, it is possible to upload a zipped (.zip) SP Page Builder 3 package file that will be installed by Joomla! backend default installer. The installation process for Joomla extensions is the same as the one for templates:
After the SPPB 3 component has been installed, you are presented with a message saying that the installation process was a success. It means also you can use it for your new project.
There is usually an upper limit to the size of files that can be uploaded to the web server itself. This limit is set in the PHP configuration file (php.ini) and may differ between web servers and web hosts. The limit cannot be altered from within Joomla!. Some hosting companies do not allow the limit to be altered at all. To allow larger files to be uploaded it will probably be necessary to increase the upload_max_filesize, max_file_uploads, and the post_max_size settings - mostly in php.ini file or in hosting panel. Values must be above 5 MB for each.
How to Update

Whenever an update is available you can download it from the SP Page Builder download page and add it to your extension list.
You do not need to uninstall the previous version before upgrading. The newer version will overwrite the older version.
Quick Notes on Update
- Sp Page Builder can be updated or upgraded like any other Joomla extension just by installing a new version on the current one.
- You do not have to uninstall the previous version; in fact, you MUST NOT do that.
- We strongly suggest making a backup of whole MySQL database before that. This step is important especially if you are planning to upgrade from Free version into Pro (commercial) version or older versions. We recommend using free backup component for Joomla! like Akeeba Backup.
- When upgrading from FREE to Professional you usually have to install the Professional package twice, without uninstalling anything in between. Sometimes Joomla! does not copy some of the files and folders the first time you install it.
- If you have installed an older version of SP Page Builder lower than 1.2, for example, 1.0.9 - please upgrade first to 2.5 version if possible.
