Upgrade 4.1 with Unavailable plugin-Admin access blocked

I updated Moodle to 4.1 but the administrator is restricted access to the site administrator part. 

When the site administrator link is clicked, the error below is thrown.

 The referred to Evernote version cannot be used with the Moodle 4.1 version.

How do I go about resolving this? 


Exception - Failed opening required '[dirroot]/portfolio/evernote/lib.php'(include_path='[dirroot]/lib/pear:.:/usr/local/php8.1/lib/php')

The recommended way is always to a test upgrade to find these hickups. And the recommended "downgrade" is to restore the backup you made before the upgrade.

If you've left the recommended paths, you can try your luck by moving the plug-in directory away from the Moodle code tree.

Thanks for the response.

Downgrading is not an option. We had issues we were attempting to solve only that the Evernote plugin is rejected in Moodle 4.1.

I removed the plugin from the Moodle code but the error still throws for Admin only!!!

Please see:
Evernote Plugin part of a set.   Manually remove both.

Are we attempting a hyperjump from 3.5 to 4.1?
IF so, that won't work without hops in-between 3.5 and 4.1.
Reason I ask ... the plugin of which you speak highest version is 3.5!

Thanks.

I migrated from 3.6, 3.11 to 4.1

Let's try with the plugin 3.5 and see what comes up

It's your site! smile
But be forewarned ... it might work now, but what of the next update/upgrade to your moodle?  4.1 is now 4.1.6+ and will continue to get updates until 11 December 2023 only (that's 8 days from now) ... for security updates until it's end of life ... 8 December 2025

Reference:

Or are you now done upgrading and will remain at 4.1 for same number of years ... yes, years ... 3.6 was released may of 2020?

It's pretty much my site. I set it up a couple of years ago and I manage it on behalf of my client.

I installed the 3.5 file and then edited the PHP file below by replacing the unsupported { } with [ ]

/portfolio/evernote/lib/evernote/transport/THttpClient.php

The admin now has full access. I guess I can now proceed to 4.3

Congrats!
Guess you could fork it and put that into your own repo for moodle ... your moodle is using git ... I assume.

> Downgrading is not an option.

Then you need to upgrade the plug-in. Get the service of a developer, for example.

> I removed the plugin from the Moodle code

So removing the plug-in *is* an option? Then you can uninstall it in the old 3.x and then upgrade.

Talking of upgrades, you know the chart http://www.syndrega.ch/blog/#php-and-dbms-compatibility-of-major-moodle-releases, right?
