Upgrading from Joomla3 to 4

I am upgrading a site from Joomla 3.10.9 to Joomla 4*. Having purchased the new Joomla 4 version of the Ballet template, how and when should I install the new version? Should I install the Ballet template before upgrading to Joomla 4 or after Joomla 4 has been installed?

The Joomla upgrade instructions state that all templates (apart from a standard Joomla template) should be removed before upgrading to Joomla 4, so am I correct in thinking that the Ballet template should be installed as a fresh installation after the Joomla upgrade? If so, presumably this means starting from scratch with template settings etc.

Hello,

1. Make a full website backup.

2. Migrate your website to Joomla 4. The upgrade procedure is explained here: docs.joomla.org/Joomla_3.x_to_4.x_Step_by_Step_Migration

Our templates, modules, or plugins will not break the migration process. So, even if you see any of our extensions marked as "Not compatible" on the Extensions Pre-update Check section, please ignore this warning. However, other extensions that you installed on your website may break it (check this with the extensions developers).

3. When your website is upgraded to Joomla 4, then you should download the Joomla 4 version of the template (hot_ballet4x.zip) from our website (you will need an active subscription) and install it. You can use the standard template installation as explained here: www.hotjoomlatemplates.com/template-inst...on-without-demo-data

4. Go to System > Site Template Styles > Hot Ballet and save it once. You don't need to change any settings.

Regards,
Milos
