Upgrade Trouble

I just upgraded from 3.1 to 3.4.3. Everything seemed to go ok and the sermons are still listed in the back end as expected.

But when I try to create a menu item for sermon speaker, the page is blank. I've tried a bunch of configurations, but nothing will display on the menu page.

svchapel.org/sermons

It looks like the script causes a fatal error. Enable the Joomla error logging and see if that shows you an error. If not you have to check the server error log to see what is going on.

I'm not sure what Joomla error logging you're referring to. I turned on server error reporting to maximum in the global configuration and debug in the system settings, but I don't see any errors on this page.

That was exactly what I meant. If this doesn't show anything, then there should be logs in the server error logfiles. If you don't have access to those, then you need to contact your hoster and ask them.

Sheesh! As someone used to WordPress, Joomla is a big pain. I've never had this much trouble updating a WP plugin.

WordPress is built for Blogs, Joomla is a full featured CMS which offers a lot more and is much more flexible.
Also you are doing an upgrade over SermonSpeaker releases spanning many years and two different developers.
It's not the easiest task
