Description of my issue:

Hi,

I just tried to update Akeeba backup on my website and it got to the end of the process when a large yellow banner appeared with a warning regarding the Jquey and something else, saying these hadn't loaded. I wanted to take a screenshot of the warning, but I hit 'back' by accident and the message then disappeared unfortunately.

I subsequently updated another website without any issue. I was therefore wondering if I could try re-installing the update again to see if this would help, but I am unsure of the best way in which to do this, can you please help?

Thanks

Most likely you ended up with a half-installed component. Don't worry, it should be easy to fix. Please download the installation ZIP package from our site. Then go to your site, click on Extensions, Manage Extensions and install the ZIP file you downloaded twice, without uninstalling the component in between subsequent installations. This will work around an intermittent issue with Joomla! that makes it sometimes "forget" to copy some files / folders during an extension upgrade.

Hi Nicholas,

Apologies for the delay in responding, we have been suffering from network issues which resulted in a very slow upload speed, so I wanted to wait for this to be fixed before I could upload the Akeeba files.

I have now manually overwritten the files as per your instructions, I received no warnings or error messages, and everything seems to be working normally.

Thanks for your prompt response in this matter - excellent customer service as usual!

Regards
