Upgrading from Sparks for J3 to J4

Quick question...
If I have an operational J3 site with Sparks as the template, (I would obviously take a backup first), if I install the J4 version of Sparks, will the Joomla 3 site still work? In otherwords, is Sparks J4 compatible with J3?

Hello,

It’s recommended to create a copy of your website and try the migration to Joomla 4 there.

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 installed on your website may break it (check this with the extensions developers).

When your website is upgraded to Joomla 4 and all content is migrated, you should download the Joomla 4 version of the template from our website (Sparks is available for J4) and install it. You can use the standard template installation as explained here www.hotjoomlatemplates.com/template-inst...on-without-demo-data

So, Sparks for J4 is NOT compatible with Joomla 3?

There are separate versions of the Sparks template for J3 and J4.

Please don't mix up our Hot Sparks template www.hotjoomlatemplates.com/joomla-templa...pose-joomla-template with the Sparky Framework www.hotjoomlatemplates.com/sparky-joomla .

Anyway, all our templates are compatible with J4. Only older templates (like Hot Sparks) are available for both J3 and J4. There are separate files for each template for J3 and for J4.

Regards,
Milos
