I had a website in Joomla V3 latest version with:
- 75.000 registered users (50.000 of them are active, 25.000 are blocked bots).
- A Kunena forum with 17000 forum topics (a total of 248000 posts)
- JomSocial with no activity.
- EasyBlog with around 200 posts.
- JReviews.
I upgraded to Joomla V5. I won't get into details but I want you to tell me how many hours would I need in order to upgrade to Joomla V5? Because I have some issues in calculating the costs with my developer.
Scenario A - Upgrading from Joomla V3 to Joomla V5
Tasks:
1) Creating a subdomain, copying files via file manager, copying database via
phpMyAdmin
2) Removing unnecessary extensions.
3) Trashcan cleanup on the site
4) Automatic update of third-party extensions through the admin area
5) Manual update of paid third-party extensions through the admin area
6) Disabled third-party extensions that will be rewritten
7) Backup

Upgrade to Joomla 4.4.4
9) Backup
10) Checking for extension updates under J5 and updating them automatically 3 120
11) Changing server config
12) Upgrade to Joomla 5.1
13) Backup
14) Rewrite extensions of Joomla V3 specifically for Joomla V5 because they don't have any corresponding versions:
(Note: Did they actually rewrite code or those are provided by their developers?
- Plugins: AllVideos (by JoomlaWorks) - use OSTube Instead.
- Plugin Community.
- plugin JComments.
- plugin System
- Plugin System Vertical Menu
How many hours of work do all the above need?
Scenario B - Backup , Clean Install of Joomla V5 and then importing from backup
1) Creating a subdomain
2) Backup
3) Changing server config
4) Installing Joomla V5
5) Importing Users, Kunena Forum backup, JomSocial backup, JReviews articles and JComments.
6) Install around 10-20 components and modules that were previously used in Joomla V3.
7) Rewrite extensions of Joomla V3 specifically for Joomla V5 because they don't have any corresponding versions:
(Note: Did they actually rewrite code or those are provided by their developers?
- Plugins: AllVideos (by JoomlaWorks) - use OSTube Instead.
- Plugin Community.
- plugin JComments.
- plugin System
- Plugin System Vertical Menu
How many hours of work does Scenario B need?
Your feedback and time would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
