A friend of mine who has several successful online shops told me I was wasting my time with Joomla and I should move to WordPress.
I ignored him because we did a lot of successful websites with Joomla 2 and 3 and never had a problem. After five attempts, all were successful, every time I tried to log in, even cutting and pasting, I got the same error, Incorrect username or password.
Eventually, I gave up. Not to be outdone, I restored the previous day's backup of my Alma Linux box and downloaded Joomla 4. Oh wow, this time it installed without a problem, I typed in my SuperUser name and password and then it dawned on me why my friend had suggested I move to WordPress.
After a successful login, I got a blank White screen with a black bar across the stop and the word CASSIOPEIA
Under that The word Home, Under that Main Menu, not even a vestige of anything helpful. I find it hard to believe that developers can make such an appalling mess of a perfectly good working program. It's a JOKE.
Now all I need is a long diatribe telling me I should use a different version of Linux (or XAMP) or a different browser, or that I'm an idiot and don't have a clue what I'm doing. I'm not holding my breath waiting for anything helpful. YOU MESSED IT UP!
