Question Kunena not working with PHP

We are migrating from PHP 5.6 to 7.3

We have Joomla 3.6

We are currently on Kunena 4.0.11
Everything works when we upgrade to PHP 7.3 except for Kunena.

I guess we need to upgrade Kunena correct?

We don't want to upgrade Joomla if we don't have to. It causes problems elsewhere when we upgrade Joomla.
So my question: Is there a version of Kunena that works with PHP 7.3 AND also works with Joomla 3.6?

If so which one is it?

Thank you.

I think the current version will not work on Joomla 3.6 without errors.
The support for php 7 began with the Kunena 5.0 series and was compatible for Joomla 3.x. Which version exactly works for you, you must itself find out.
If you use an outdated version of Kunena it is your decision, but you get no support if you have problems during the installation or afterwards with it. It was a major upgrade and also the template Blue Eagle has been removed.
Here you find all versions: github.com/Kunena/Kunena-Forum/releases

Ok. Thank you we will upgrade to the most recent version of Kunena.

But we have a question.

An old web developer modified our look and feel of our old Kunena install.

We do not want the upgrade to install any new them, and we need it to keep all of the customizations we made to the old Kunena.

Can you tell me the best way to do this?

Thank You.

we need it to keep all of the customizations we made to the old Kunena.

I'm sorry, but that's not possible. The new Kunena template Crypsis has a complete other structure and adapts to your Joomla template style. After upgrade all CSS adaptions of Blue Eagle are obsolete and will not work with Crypsis. I can only recommend that you adapt the forum in a test installation beforehand.

Thank you.
Can I upgrade to the new version of Kunena? Or do I need to re-install?
I am on Kunena 4.0.11

Don't list 4.0.11 as one I can upgrade from.
Thank you.

Don't list 4.0.11 as one I can upgrade from.

Thanks for this hint, this page need an update too. These steps work from very old versions until to upgrade to Kunena 4.0 series. In your case you have already installed Kunena 4.0.11 therefore you can install Kunena 5.x over it, and the upgrade should be run automatically.

Hello,
Thank you.
I saw that you updated the upgrade page.
For you information it still says I must have Kunena 4.0.12 before I can upgrade.
Can you confirm I only need 4.0.11?

In principle, it should work with all versions of the 4.0 series. But I've tested it only with 4.0.12 therefore I recommend this version.

Ok. I did the upgrade from 4.0.11 it worked fine.
Everything works, except for new Kunena menu is showing as raw HTML
I'll open another ticket about the CSS because maybe the answer will be helpful for someone else too.
