Unable to update to 5.0.1

The main component can only be updated by downloading the newest release from this site and installing using the Joomla Installer. We're working on an automatic updater for the admin area, to hopefully be included in the October release of JFBConnect.

I hope that helps, but if you need anything else, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

All your settings will be kept. You don't need to uninstall first, just so you know, but it won't hurt anything in case you do.

I'd recommend installing the latest component through the Joomla installer and then either re-install any plugins or modules you're using through the installer or the update manager.

We're very excited that the v5.1 release will have a unified installer and be much easier to manage.

I hope that helps, but if you need anything else, just let me know.

Thanks,
Alex
