Ensure that Gantry is 5.5.15 and that Flux template version is v1.5.0.
Ensure all your third-party products are on latest versions too.
If still no good, Please would you post your URL, superuser id and pswd in the secure tab of your post and I'll have a look for you

1. Gantry is out of date on 5.5.14 - not 5.5.15 as I said.
2. You have zillions of third-party products installed (including many templates) - you need to update them all to latest versions (even if you're not using them otherwise they will cause your site to break).
3. You have many RT "rok" extensions installed - none of these will work onb PHP8 (or Joomla 4) and so they will need to be installed and replace with something else (e.g. a Gantry 5 particle).
4. You have Gantry 4 installed - this cannot work with PHP 8 so you should uninstall it and it's templates.

I am running Interstellar 1.5 on Joomla 4.2 with Php 7.4.32. I am getting warnings to update to php 8.0, so I tried. Crashed the site with some error about mysqli. So, I went back to earlier php. Then I read somewhere on the forum that I need to upgrade Gantry to 5.5.15, since I am at 5.5.14. So I did and the site crashed again saying it could not load the interstellar template. So I reinstalled Gantry 5.5.14 and all seems to be working.
How can I upgrade to php 8.0? I have many other Joomla sites with RT templates that need to be upgraded. What is the procedure? - Dan Walker - Web Designer & Developer @ Top Webs Network

- OK, I sorted it out. The server php8 was not properly configured. All is working now.

Thank you for asking. Not really. I am going to migrate to Joomla 4. Still checking out extensions for extracting articles from K2 to a better software, (they wont upgrade to Joomla 4). Still some work ahead.
