Support for jDownloads 3 has been ended
Since 17 August 2023 Joomla.org has discontinued support for Joomla 3.x. Therefore, we will no longer offer official support for our Joomla 3 jDownloads version 3.9.x from January 2024.
Please update your website to the latest Joomla version (Joomla 4 or Joomla 5) as soon as possible. Afterwards, please update jDownloads to the latest published version. The longer you delay, the more difficult the upgrade process for your website is likely to be.

I am upgrading my Joomla site this weekend to 3.x 

For JDownloads, all i have to do is uninstall Jdownloads and all plugins, upgrade and then reinstall the 3.x version and all of my data will be there as it was?

Thanks
Larry

Hi
There are various documents which should help.  It depends upon which version of jDownloads you are currently using.

If you are using the jD 2.5 Series on Joomla 2.5 then
"From jD2.5.x on Joomla 2.5 to jD3.2 on Joomla 3.3 or higher"
http://www.jdownloads.net/documentations/item/from-jd2-5-x-on-joomla-2-5-to-jd3-2-on-joomla-3-3-or-higher

If you are on the jD 19.1.6 series on Joomla! 2.5 then
"From jD1.9.1.x on Joomla 2.5 to jD3.2 on Joomla 3.2+"
http://www.jdownloads.net/documentations/item/from-jd1-9-1-x-on-joomla-2-5-to-jd3-2-on-joomla-3-2?category_id=40

Basically do it on a test site first to practice! Do not trust your memory, take notes! Lots of Backups.

Thanks Colin

Unfortunately, I do not have a test site.  I am trying to get approval for a server so I can create one.

I read what you provided, thank you.

Once I get all of the plugins/modules removed, then remove the component (after copy the folders), it looks like a simple uninstall and then reinstall after upgrade.  I have printed out screen shots of all of my configuration, including users!
