Among the tests I will be doing on my fixed site, I'll be installing some modules and taking notes.
Social 2s
- Install from JED worked fine
- Setup/Config is fine (though limited, but that's the plugin, not Joomla itself)
- Config saves and takes effect
- All good ehre
Akeeba Backup
- Install from JED failed, generic error message, no real details
- Upload and install package fails with the same generic error
- Install from folder fails with the same generic error
- Install from URL fails with the same generic error
- At this point I was about to rage-quit
- Searching Akeeb's site for any help
- Deleting folders as suggested
- Install from JED worked great
CoalaWeb Social Links
- Install from JED worked fine
- Config saves fine
- (It looks like all the REALLY useful features are part of the 'PRO'/paid version)
- Uninstalling the extension as per:
- Uninstalled just fine
Extension Updates
- 3 Extensions require updates
- Updating 1 at a time
- They all updated just fine
Joomla Update
- Joomla also requires an update, 3.8.5 to 3.8.6
- Updated just fine
