FAQ

1. How to import Acajoom template to jNews?

You can easily copy your existing newsletters that was imported from Acajoom. Just go to jNews >> Newsletters and select the newsletter you want to copy the html and paste it in the Template Tab in jNews. Make sure to set it to default if you want to use it every time you create Newsletter.

2. Why my imported Acajoom lists and newsletters are not showing in the frontend?
This is because the access level is different from Joomla 1.0/1.5 to Joomla 2.5/3.0 so the previous selection did not get imported.

To fix this problem, you need to edit your List and assign a List Access.
