Installing & Uninstalling

Before you start with the installation, you need to check the following:

• Make sure the maximum file upload size of your server is greater than the size of the component zipped kit. If not, contact your hosting provider.
• Check directory write/read permissions and adjust them accordingly. chmod for UNIX, Windows ACL for Windows. Or contact your hosting provider.
• Always backup your website before installing, updating or uninstalling extensions!

To install Blog Factory you will need a working Joomla 3.x.x installation. It is recommended to have the latest version of both Blog Factory and Joomla for them to work properly.
