.. include:: /Includes.rst.txt .. _convert-global-extensions: Convert global Extensions ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If you use global extensions, convert them to local ones. Global extensions used to be saved in folders inside :file:`typo3/ext/`, such as :file:`typo3/ext/realurl`. In current versions of TYPO3, this location should no longer be used. Instead, use local extensions below :file:`typo3conf/ext/`. To convert a global extension to a local one, do the following: * Go to the Extension Manager. * Uninstall the global extension. * Delete the files of the extension from :file:`typo3/ext/`, including the directory of that extension itself. * Reinstall the extension from TER, which will put it into :file:`typo3conf/ext/`.
