Hello,
Old themes are all for Joomla 3 and cannot be imported or converted for Joomla 4 automatically. The themes are completely different as if they were for different CMS's. That is why for Joomla 4 a separate theme should be downloaded and not just Joomla 3 theme with Themler update.
So upgrading Joomla 3 theme to the latest Themler version doesn't unfortunately make it compatible with Joomla 4. The theme should be created from the default theme provided at the link above.
Here are possible ways to make creating themes easier (if they are made to re-create old themes):
- organize controls in Sections and use Export as Zip option in the Section tab, then import them in a new theme using Import as Zip
- there are Export / Import options available in the Posts tab to transfer Posts layout and styling
I should warn there are several serious issues with Joomla 4 Beta theme. In general it works, but to be honest, I recommend to consider temporarily using Joomla 3 and Joomla 3 Themler theme until there is an update for Joomla 4 theme.
Sincerely,
Nettie
