I've moved your differents messges into a seprate topic : www.kunena.org/forum/installation-issues...r-joomla-5-4-and-6-0 to let this topic here clear.I've written comments about the issues after upgrading to Kunena 7.0 earlier elsewhere on this site.
Kunena 7.0 add new files and new directories you can have leftover of the items of Kunena 7.0
The upgrade of Kunena to 7.0 crashed the site and I had to disable Kunena in the database to be able to get access to backened again.
I installed a backup from before the upgrade to Kunena 7.0. Still the the site crashed. Once again I had to disable Kunena in the database to be able to get access to backened again. I uninstalled Kunena 6.4.8 and then installed Kunena 6.4.8 again. When everything worked fine I run a full backup useing Akeeba backup. Then the site crashed again with the same errors as before. Once again I had to disable Kunena in the database to be able to get access to backened again. After this I uninstalled Kunena 6.4.8.
The reason why the site continute to crash after resoring to a back up using Kunena 6.4.8 must be that there are still som changes in place which was created by the upgrade to Kunena 7.0. I belive there is something in the database that has changed that creates all this trouble.
"FYI : for Kunena 7.0 you will need to update CB to version 2.11.0 else the plugin integration into Kunena can't work"

Sorry for the inconvenience for people which updated from K6.4.8 to K7.0.0 and needed to toubleshoot the issue or restore a backup to go back to K6.4.8.
Ok just saw this and hope to get some news about when its possible to dl and make an update..
Cheers!

Make a backup of your site first. Try to update manually to Kunena 6.4.8 by downloading the package from here : github.com/Kunena/Kunena-Forum/releases/tag/6.4.8 , if it's ok make a new backup of your site at this point and make the update to Kunena 7.0.0 like it will be showed in Joomla! updater
It is sad for me that in my current situation I cannot update Kunena.
We are using Joomla V6.0.2, and I cannot update to Kunena 6.4.8 as it is deemed invalid.
Manual update to version 7.0 is not possible either as this is not supported for the current version 6.3.10 that we are currently on.
I need some advice, please, on how to update our existing version.
If this is being touted as a development release and not for use on live sites then why is it being offered as an update on my Joomla site?
Is the description incorrect?

Hello,@Gindi I suppose you mean tooltip?
Can confirm.
Thanks for the report i will look into it later
I have imported language files from K6.4 on french i have encountered some issues (duplicate of language files) after the import for others language i haven't checked
This RC2 release is to let translators update the language files for Kunena 7.0 on crowdin
Strange fact: a lot of my previously made translations where only there as suggestions. Used and saved those again.
