Hi,

The migration concerns Joomla 3 to Joomla 4.

If you're already on Joomla 4, you can do a normal Joomla update to Joomla 5 and then install the PG version over it.

Hi,

Joomla 4 to Joomla 5 is an upgrade, not a migration. See here:
https://docs.joomla.org/Joomla_4.4.x_to ... ep_by_Step

Check also System requirements etc. When ready, there is no need to reinstall Phoca Gallery.
Just use the PG version for Joomla5.

Kind regards
Christine
