Hi There,
I would like to migrate from Jomsocial 4.7.1 on Joomla 3.10.12 to Joomla 5.x.
The Joomla 5 site is a new install.
Is this possible and how do I do this?
Please advise.

Is there still a Joomlart support team?

Migrating JomSocial 4.7.1 from Joomla 3.10.12 to Joomla 5.x requires a step-by-step approach. You cannot directly install Joomla 5 and migrate JomSocial 4.7.1. Instead, you need to first upgrade your Joomla 3 site to Joomla 4, update JomSocial to the latest version, and then proceed with the Joomla 5 upgrade.
Migration Steps:
1. Backup Everything
- Before starting, take a full backup of your Joomla 3 site, including the database and files, using Akeeba Backup or a similar tool.
- Upgrade Joomla 3.10.12 to Joomla 4
- Ensure your Joomla 3 site is updated to the latest 3.10.x version.
- Check for Joomla 4 compatibility using the Joomla Pre-Update Check.
- Upgrade your Joomla 3 site to Joomla 4.x.
2. Upgrade JomSocial to the Latest Version
- Download and install the latest JomSocial version compatible with Joomla 4 from the official source.
- Ensure all third-party JomSocial plugins and extensions are updated.
3. Upgrade Joomla 4 to Joomla 5
- Once Joomla 4 and JomSocial are fully functional, check for Joomla 5 compatibility using the Joomla Pre-Update Check.
- Upgrade your site to Joomla 5.
4. Test Everything
- Verify that JomSocial is working properly.
- Check for any broken layouts, missing data, or compatibility issues.
If you have a completely new Joomla 5 install, you cannot directly migrate JomSocial 4.7.1 to it. You must first follow the upgrade path from Joomla 3 → Joomla 4 → Joomla 5, ensuring that JomSocial is updated along the way.
