After update from 5 to 8 all previous links broken

After updating from version 5 to 8, all tracked links in all previous emails are now broken. Anything for com_acymailing gets 404 Component not found. This is disastrous.

Hi,

Did you manually migrate everything or did you use the migration feature as described here: https://docs.acymailing.com/setup/migration ?

And where do you experience this? com_acymailing refers to v5 and com_acym refers to v8. If you, for example, have an archive page, you would need to recreate it for v8.

It's been a couple months, but I did migrate data. However, v5 doesn't work in Joomla 4, so indeed com_acymailing no longer exists.

I ended up adding a blanket redirect in htaccess, so at least people get to the homepage of the site rather than a 404. Not ideal. People do click links in old newsletters.

AcyMailing 5 is working on Joomla 4 without any issues

Dang, thanks. Could have sworn it was not.
