Solidres v2.13.0 is under heavy development with a lot of changes, we’ve reached a state where it is not possible to support both Joomla 3 & 4 in a single code base. We decided to drop Joomla 3 support in Solidres v2.13.0 and focus only on Joomla 4+ from now on.
From our own experience, upgrading from Joomla 3 to Joomla 4 is not always a straight forward process, so please plan for the upgrading carefully, always make a full backup before upgrading. Upgrading should not be done in your live/production site, you should perform the upgrading in a staging/cloning site first.
We also have a good news for our template users: Greenery v2.0.0 with Joomla 4 support is 90% done, we are finalizing the last details as well as testing it against Solidres v2.13.0. Please check our blog regularly for more news.

Joomla 3 UI is built upon Bootstrap framework v2 while the upcoming Joomla 4 UI is built upon Bootstrap framework v5, they have so many differences and it is a challenge for extension developers like us. To maintain a high-quality product, starting from Solidres for Joomla v2.12+ we will provide official support only for Bootstrap 2 (if you use Joomla 3) and Bootstrap 5 (if you use Joomla 4). That means we will drop support for other intermediate Bootstrap versions that Joomla does not support like Bootstrap v3 and v4.
Thank you for your understanding, we are looking forward to a bright future with the upcoming Joomla 4 ahead.

Solidres has established itself as a versatile booking system and we are proud of that. Over the years, apart from traditional accommodation/tours & activities booking, we’ve seen many interesting Solidres’ use cases that we did not plan for them initially: 4G USB, yacht, cat boarding… It brings many exciting challenges for us.
