Introduction
I upgraded my Joomla 3.10.3 site to Joomla 4.0.4. It should be an easy upgrade but in reality, the upgrade was a little hassle.
Joomla 3.10.3 will be end of support on August, 27th, 2023. See Joomla 3.10: End of Support Handling for more information. Now, there is no urgent need to upgrade but that will change when the end of support date comes closer.
In this blog, I will describe all the steps that I took to test the upgrade. I can tell you that the upgrade has been completed successfully on my life environment. This is the first article that I write on Joomla 4.0.4.
