Pre-Update Check Not Showing Up

Post by ednarb » Sun May 07, 2023 1:12 am

I am trying to update a Joomla website from version 3.10.11 to Joomla 4, but the pre-update checker with the requirements for the change is not showing up for me. I have checked if the Joomla! Pre-Update Check plugin was enabled and it's ok, but when I click on component updates, it only shows me the option to update to version 3.10.11. I also tried accessing .../administrator/index.php?option=com_joomlaupdate but was unsuccessful. I don't know what else to do. Can someone help me?

Check the update channel is set to "Joomla Next".

Restore your 3.10 site from backup, and try again.

See the instructions here: https://docs.joomla.org/Planning_for_Mi ... 0.x_to_4.x
