I am trying to setup a Joomla 4 version.  Your tools version does not install on 4.2.3

Admin Tools 7.0 and 7.1 installs and works on all Joomla 4 versions, including 4.2.3. This is a Joomla 4.2.3 we are having this discussion on, we are of course running the latest versions of our software.

Just to be sure, I set up a new Joomla 4.2.3 installation before replying, downloaded Admin Tools Pro 7.1.11 from our site and installed it with System, Install, Extensions, Upload Package Files. It works just fine.

Admin Tools 6, however, only installs on Joomla 3.9, 3.10 and 4.0. So, there are exactly two possibilities:

  1. You tried installing Admin Tools 6 on Joomla 4. Please don't do that. Use Admin Tools 7 instead. I see you've downloaded both versions, Admin Tools 6 in July and Admin Tools 7 the past few days. Double check what you are installing.
  2. If you had upgraded from Joomla 3 or previously tried to install Admin Tools 6 it may be the case that Joomla has cached the old pre-installation script of Admin Tools 6 which stops the execution on Joomla 4.1 and later. Go to administrator/manifests/packages/admintools and delete the file named script.admintools.php.

It was a problem with legacy code from old scripts...  Thanks.
