Loved Kunena 5.0.2 and Kunena 4.0.12 released

ok, I fixed the update file, should now be correct

Thanks! That corrected the problem. The upgrade completed successfully. This appeared in the the upgrade list that wasn't there before.
"Database upgraded to version 4.0.12 ... OK"

After upgrading to 4.0.12, I was notified in Joomla Control Panel that the upgrade to 5.0 was available. After backing up my site I decided to try upgrading to 5.0. I was hoping that I could easily resolve any template issues that popped up. I never could get the forum to display properly even with the default Protostar template. I had to restore the backup I had made, including the database, to get back to normal.

I'm not complaining. We were given ample warning that this could happen. The problems I had could probably have been worked out if I had the time.

I'm just posting my experience for those who might decide to go down this road once they have the 4.0.12 upgrade installed. Backup, backup, backup if you decide to upgrade to K 5.0

If your joomla template doesn't have the modern classes/style. then you can enable the "Load Bootstrap" option on the crypsis settings.

If you have to many issues you can go back to 4.0.12 by just installing the k4.0.12 package. There is no need to restore the database.

Thanks for the tips. If I had known about the load bootstrap option I might could have made it work. When I get some free time I will try again. I might try an new Joomla template at the same time. How can I be sure a new Joomla template would be compatible with K 5.0?

most new templates are compatible, just look for bootstrap template, also gantry is working,
