I have Xenon installed on my Joomla 4 install on my website's subdomain just to test and it works fine on Joomla 4 with php 8 set.What is the actual error (not mentioned in your OP)?
I have my doubts about Beez3 template working on PHP 8 since it was shipped with J3 in its early days, years before PHP 8...but I could be wrong. Perhaps try the Protostar template instead to see if you get the same error. What version of Joomla 3 are you running - assume 3.10.x (the latest, and last version in the J3 series)?
You say you use the latest Gantry framework, but what about the latest Xeon template version (v 1.5 Nov 11, 2021)?
Just noting that PHP 8.0 is EOL (November 2023). Joomla 3.x is EOL (September 2023). Suggest updating to 4.4.x.
Even using PHP 8.1 with Joomla 3.10 may be possible but you will more than likely run into issues with any extensions used that are not going to work with PHP 8.1
But I'm also thinking Xeon may be too old for PHP 8.x Rocket Theme site says Xeon min requirement is PHP 7.1 but nothing in the template's change log about PHP 8.x compatibility.
For reference: Xeon template is not mentioned here: https://rockettheme.com/product-updates nor https://rockettheme.com/joomla-template ... ity-matrix
Also Gantry website (documentation) says "Always use the latest stable Joomla" - so again, suggest Joomla 4.4 at least.
Yes, my Joomla 3 install is 3.10.
I just set Prostar as my template to test, enabled php 8, and the website gives the same following error "Failed to load 'rt_xenon' template: Please install Gantry 5 Framework!" The website this is happening to is in my signature. I can't upgrade it past php 7.4 or I get that error no matter what template I try to use.
Thinking about just moving the content over to the subdomain where Xenon/J4/and PHP8+ will run fine and doing a 301 redirect from the main domain over to the subdomain. I'm just not skilled enough to be able to upgrade and troubleshoot the Joomla 3.10 install to get it upgraded so it can run Joomla4/Xenon/Php8+
Xenon runs on both J3 and J4 so I wouldn't think that the problem. My subdomain is https://guide.denverdonate.com/ where J4 is installed and where I tested Xenon, temporarily enabling the template and PhP8+, everything worked fine. The problem is that I can't enable php8+ at all permanently because both websites are on the same host. If I enable php8+ then the main domain gives that Xenon/Gantry error.
