Hi Paul:
Thank you for your quick response, your support, and the link ;)
Yes, I am aware of the risks of continuing to use PHP 7 and Joomla version 4. My intention is to use PHP 8 and Joomla 5.
I can change the PHP version on my server to 8, but I have several domains with an old website that would not support it.
Specifically, on two of them, I am using a Joomshaper template with Joomla 4, and my intention is to change the server to PHP 8, but I need the websites to continue functioning and be built.
My question is: what would be the order in which to perform these updates?
- Option 1: work on Joomla version 4 with PHP 7. Once the websites are complete, update Joomla and the template to version 5 and then update to PHP 8.
-
- Option 2: Update the server to PHP 8, upload the Joomla 5 quickstarts, and build the websites... This is the option I am trying to avoid, as it would leave the domains without a website for a few weeks...
What would be the most appropriate and least burdensome process?
Thank you once again. Best regards,
