- Build: 4.4
- # 42627
Steps to reproduce the issue
Upgrade Joomla 3.10 with Protostar or Beez3 template to Joomla 4.4 default template (Cassiopeia template)
Expected result
All items/modules (logo, menu, header, footer, side panels) are visible.
Actual result
Only main content (articles) is visible. menu, header, search, side panels are not visible. You need to re-assign new positions manually for each item/module.
System information (as much as possible)
Joomla 3.10 upgrade to Joomla 4.4
Additional comments
Positions defined for Joomla 3.10 with Protostar or Beez3 template are different from Joomla 4.4 default template (Cassiopeia template). Please automatically update position's name during upgrade to the closest ones while upgrading from old default template to new default template, e.g.:
- position-0 > search
- position-1 > menu
- position-2 > main-bottom
- position-3 > main-top
- position-7 > sidebar-right
- position-8 > sidebar-left

an usefull reading https://docs.joomla.org/Joomla_3.x_to_4.x_Step_by_Step_Migration
If you wrote link above regarding fact that Joomla 3 Protostar is not compatible with Joomla 4.x – I understand this.
But this is cause, way I propose to at least help migrate items/modules to correct positions.

I'm sorry, but I will have to decline this new feature. First of all, it isn't exactly trivial to make sure that people are using protostar, haven't modified it and that the module with that position isn't used in any other template. I also don't really like changing content of people without them knowing. However, this would also require a new feature in Joomla 4.4 and 4.4 only has bugfix support at this point. So we wont implement this feature.
before upgrade to 4.4 you should pass 1st from 3.10 and not from 3.9 directly to 4.4
