Dear Akeeba,

I am upgrading nsgv.nl from joomla 3 to Joomla 4 and get the next recommendations:

Fout Outdated Akeeba extensions detected

You have some outdated Akeeba extensions installed on your site which will not work on Joomla 4. You need to remove them before updating your site to Joomla 4.

Please use our MagicEraser software to automatically remove obsolete extensions before upgrading your site to Joomla 4.

 

Further what to do with:

Update info not available

  System - Akeeba GeoIP provider plugin  

Update necessary

   Akeeba Backup package (I have yet installed 8.4.0)

   file_fof40 

   file_fef

   Admin Tools package (I have yet installed 6.2.1)

No update required

   F0F (NEW) DO NOT REMOVE

   FOF30

   file FOF30

Could you help me?

Regards,

Ben Hillen

Have you used MagicEraser yet? If not, use it. It will remove most of that.

Then update to Joomla! 4, ignoring the items appearing as "not compatible" (it's bogus).

After you have upgraded to Joomla! 4 install Akeeba Backup 9 and do the migration it tells you when you visit it, then uninstall Akeeba Backup 8 when and how it tells you to.

Then, update Admin Tools to version 7.

At this point you will be able to remove FOF and FOF.

Kindly note that this information is already present in our documentation with much more detail.
