Question Unable to update to Kunena 6.4.9

Unable to update to Kunena 6.4.9 was created by Daviciacus
Hello,

I am running Joomla 4.4.14 and Kunena 6.3.10. It says I have an update for Kunena to version 6.4.9 but when I want to do the update, I always only get the error "invalid extension update".

I wanted to try to install Kunena 6.4.9 manually and update it that way, but the download page on the website only offers to download versions 5 and 7, not version 6.x.

How can I resolve this?
Thanks!

Hello,

Kunena 6.4 support Joomla! 5.0 so you can get the error "invalid extension update" because you are on Joomla! 4.4.x.
Then when you will get your Joomla! updated, you can find version K6.4.9, here : github.com/Kunena/Kunena-Forum/releases/tag/6.4.9
I don't provide support by PM, because this can be useful for someone else.

Thank you, I did not realize that as of 6.4.9 it was only for Joomla 5. The next update will be for when I get to migrate to Joomla 5. Thanks again!

A note:
I have a test version with Joomla 6.0.2 and Kunena 6.4.8
The Joomla dashboard shows me ‘Kunena 6.4.9 - Update’. After I have carried out the update, I get the message ‘Warning
Kunena 6.4.9 not supported to be installed on Joomla! 6.0.2, please update to Kunena 7.0’.

Hi,
I followed Joomla's prompt to update Kunena from 6.3.10 to 6.4.8.
Instead of the updated version, I received a long list of messages in the admin panel, beginning with the lines (!): Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property Kunena\Forum\Libraries\Config\KunenaConfig::$_errors is deprecated in W:\wamp64\www\gchde\libraries\src\Cache\Controller\OutputController.php on line 71

I went to the forum and saw there, That version 6.4.9 already exists. Hoping to fix the site, I installed this version downloaded from the site with some difficulty. But the admin panel still shows ! ) Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property Kunena\Forum\Libraries\Config\KunenaConfig::$social is deprecated in W:\wamp64\www\gchde\libraries\src\Cache\Controller\OutputController.php on line 71
