Joomla 4 upgrade instructions for Solidres users

Dependent on your current installed Joomla 3rd extensions, upgrading from Joomla 3 to Joomla 4 could be a very simple or complicated task. It is a major update, so please plan for it carefully, always make a complete backup of your site first (files + database), and perform the upgrade in a test/staging site before the production site.

For Solidres, it is best to upgrade Solidres and all Solidres extensions (templates/modules/plugins) to the latest versions that were released before Nov 30, 2022. Then upgrade to Joomla 4 and Solidres and all Solidres extensions that were released after Nov 30, 2022.

For other Joomla extensions installed on your site, it is best to consult the developer for more information. You can also disable all of them before upgrading to Joomla 4 to avoid potential incompatibility issues.

Greenery template v2.0.0 released

This version is a major release with Joomla 4 and PHP 8 support. We replaced the old Warp template framework with Helix Ultimate. It is already available for download in our Download page for all active BUNDLE/HUB/DEVELOPERS subscribers.

We also developed a new Tabs module (mod_sr_tabs) to replace the out of date Tabs GK5 module.

After this release, we will focus on porting other (but not all) templates to the new framework, the next candidate is Infinity template.
