ownloads Documentation Centre!Menus and Cassiopeia Positions -Jul 2023
Introduction
When upgrading from Joomla 3 to joomla 4 the menu positions are not always consistent.
Somtimes in the earlier versions menus were located at Position 7, which in joomla 3 was the left-hand side panel.
The first part of of the Cassiopeia position are shown opposite.
Note the location of position 'menu'.
In Joomla! 3 the Main Menu might have been as say 'Position 7'. So the menu might not be showing after the upgrade to Joomla 4 as 'Position 7' is not defined.
