Subject: Educon 4.0.3 is not working with Joomla 6.1.1 – JFactory error
Hello JoomShaper Team,
I have installed a completely fresh Joomla 6.1.1 installation and then installed the latest Educon template (version 4.0.3).
According to the release notes, Educon 4.0.3 supports Joomla 6.1.1, SP Page Builder 6.6.0, Helix 3.1.0 and PHP 8.5 compatibility.
However, as soon as I set the Educon template as the default site template, the frontend crashes with a HTTP 500 error.
After enabling Joomla debug mode, the following error is displayed:
ClassNotFoundError: Attempted to load class "JFactory" from the global namespace.
File: templates/shaper_educon/error.php
Code:
$doc = JFactory::getDocument(); $params = JFactory::getApplication()->getTemplate(true)->params;
JFactory appears to be used in the template's error.php file, which is not compatible with Joomla 6.
Environment:
- Joomla 6.1.1
- Educon 4.0.3
- PHP 8.4
- Fresh Joomla installation
- No migration from Joomla 3/4
- Error occurs immediately after activating the Educon template
Could you please verify whether this is a bug in Educon 4.0.3 and provide a fix or updated package compatible with Joomla 6.1.1?
Thank you.

Accepted AnswerHello,
Thanks for reaching out to us. Could you please share temporary administrator access to your Joomla backend? You can provide the credentials securely in the hidden content section. Also, please take a full backup of your site before we make any changes.
Once I have access, I’ll investigate further and see what’s causing the issue. Let me know once you’ve shared the details!
Best regards,

Accepted AnswerHello,
Thank you for your message.
I have provided the access credentials in the hidden content section.
As mentioned before, I initially installed the Quickstart package. At the moment, however, the installation you have access to is a clean Joomla 6 installation with your template installed afterwards. In both cases, I receive the same error message, indicating that the template is not working with Joomla 6.1.1.
Please let me know if you need any additional information.
Best regards,

Accepted AnswerI apologize for the inconvenience. The issue is coming from some overridden addons in the template. Our team is currently reviewing it and will include the fix in the next update release.
We have applied a temporary fix on your site. Could you please check again and let us know if everything is working correctly now?
Thanks

Thank you very much for your support so far.
Before we start the actual migration, I would appreciate your assessment of the current status and the recommended next steps.
Our goal is not to fix individual pages but to migrate our entire corporate website from Joomla 3 to Joomla 6. The website consists of several hundred subpages, so we need to ensure that the migration process is reliable and scalable for the entire project.
At the moment, the imported content appears to be displayed correctly. However, I am still receiving an error message. I have attached a screenshot of the error, including the full details of the message, for your review.
Therefore, I have the following questions:
- Can you estimate when the currently known bugs will be fixed?
- Is the current setup already sufficient to proceed with the migration, or would you recommend starting with a fresh Quickstart installation?
- One of my original questions was whether I should install the Quickstart package now, or whether the current installation can serve as the foundation for the migration.
- Will the existing issues be resolved through future updates, or have the fixes been applied manually on a one-time basis?
- If manual adjustments were required, will these have to be repeated for every imported page, or is the fix now implemented globally within the system?
- Based on the current status, do you believe that a complete migration from Joomla 3 to Joomla 6, using the latest Page Builder and the latest Joomla version, can be carried out reliably?
- Can you confirm whether the attached error message is expected at this stage, and whether it will have any impact on the migration of a large website with hundreds of pages?
As a medium-sized company, it is important for us to understand before starting the project whether the migration process is suitable for the entire website and whether it can be completed without requiring manual corrections on each individual page.
Thank you in advance for your assessment and recommendations.
