Hello Ciaran,
So I uploaded and installed Sophia according to your directions and I think I removed all evidence of the former template with K2, T3, etc. But, I can't get to the home page. It only displays my article page. I went to install Sophia Demo Installer package and this is the message I received
"Warning JInstaller: :Install: Can't find Joomla XML setup file. The Joomla package cannot be installed through the Extension Manager. Please use the Joomla! Update component to update Joomla."
Joomla is updated to version 3.8.13
I also see this message under warnings but I have no idea what I need to do and I also read the joomla article you suggested on the other posts ..
"if you are having issues with manifest files not being detected or uploaded files not being detected, setting this in your php.ini file might fix the issue."
Can you tell me what I might need to do? I prefer to use the demo as my guide. Thanks
a
