Hi there, 

I upgraded to 5.0 and figured out pretty soon that Jfilters isnt ready for 5.0 (I had the impression Joomla was just an update but looks more like a migration now). Soon after checking major functions I ran into an issue with Smart Search. It seems some sort of redirect and I cant figure it out, all htaccess files look fine to me, no conflicts. I remember that you can combine smart search and filters (which I enabled in the past) and I thought, perhaps this is causing the issue. Therefore I tried to uninstall JFilters to see if I could just get the smart search working again by doing this. However, now the installation doesnt seem to want to uninstall JFilters. It gives an error (see below), What should I do? I'd rather not run a backup over the site if in anyway possible : 

You need Joomla! 4.999.999 or earlier to install this component

Hi there, 

Thanks for clarification. But I imagine there will be an upgrade to the component? Or not?

Is the only way to fix this website now to use a backup from before Joomla 5 upgrade? 

thanks, 

Elisabeth

That's not what I meant. I was probably not clear but my problem is a bit more complex, leaving the issue with the search on joomla aside for a minute. I upgraded to Joomla 5 but I see that JFilters isnt compatible yet so I disabled it but my question is really more like, how long do you think it will take for the update to JFilters that is copliant with Jomla 5.
