AdminLTE 4 is a ground-up rewrite. It targets Bootstrap 5.3, drops jQuery,
ships as TypeScript-authored vanilla JS, and reorganises the CSS class
structure. If you’re upgrading an AdminLTE 3 project, the changes below are
the ones most likely to bite.

If your project relies on jQuery or IE 11, stay on AdminLTE 3 — those
constraints are not reversible in v4.

A regex find-replace handles most of this in a few minutes. The migration tool
<a href="https://github.com/dbtek/bootstrap-5-migration"
><code>bootstrap-5-migration</code></a
>
automates the bulk.

<h5 id="jquery-removal">jQuery removal</h5>
<p>
If your app code calls AdminLTE 3 plugins via jQuery
(<code>$('.sidebar').PushMenu()</code>, etc.), those calls no longer
work. Replacements:

All seven JS plugins (<code>Layout</code>, <code>CardWidget</code>,
<code>Treeview</code>, <code>DirectChat</code>, <code>FullScreen</code>,

<code>admin-lte</code>.
</p>
<h5 id="dark-mode">Dark mode</h5>
<p>
AdminLTE 3 used a <code>.dark-mode</code> class toggled on the
<code><body></code>. AdminLTE 4 uses Bootstrap 5.3’s native
<code>data-bs-theme="dark"</code> attribute, which can be applied at
any level — <code><html></code>, <code><body></code>, or a single
component.

The included <a href="color-mode.html">Color Mode</a> widget reads/writes this

implementation.

AdminLTE 3 shipped a lot of one-off colour classes (<code>.bg-navy</code>,
<code>.bg-purple</code>, <code>.bg-fuchsia</code>, etc.). In v4, prefer
Bootstrap 5.3’s CSS-variable model:

<p>
AdminLTE 3 demos used FontAwesome 6 free. AdminLTE 4 standardises on
<a href="https://icons.getbootstrap.com/">Bootstrap Icons</a> — they’re SVG,
lighter, MIT-licensed, and ship with Bootstrap’s ecosystem.

<p>
If you’d rather stick with FontAwesome (or use Lucide, Tabler Icons, Material
Symbols, etc.), nothing in AdminLTE 4 forces Bootstrap Icons — load whichever
icon font you prefer and replace the <code><i></code> classes. See
<a href="integrations.html#icon-libraries">Recommended Integrations</a> for
the comparison table.
</p>
<h5 id="pages-we-havent-ported-yet">Pages we haven’t ported yet</h5>
<p>
The v3 demo includes pages that haven’t all been recreated for v4. The v4
release notes cover the current page catalog. If you depend on a specific v3
page that hasn’t been ported, please
<a href="https://github.com/ColorlibHQ/AdminLTE/issues">open an issue</a> —
community contributions for missing pages are very welcome.

<h5 id="suggested-migration-order">Suggested migration order</h5>
<p>For an existing AdminLTE 3 project:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<strong>Branch first.</strong> This is not a small change — keep
<code>master</code> on v3 until v4 is stable.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Update CSS class names</strong> with a find-replace pass using the
table above. Most layouts compile but look broken until step 3.
</li>
<li>
<strong
>Update <code>data-toggle</code> → <code>data-bs-toggle</code></strong
>
etc. across all your templates.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Replace <code>.dark-mode</code> toggle code</strong> with
<code>data-bs-theme</code> attribute writes.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Audit jQuery calls.</strong> Either remove them (use the data API)
or import plugin classes directly.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Test responsive breakpoints</strong> — Bootstrap 5 added
<code>xxl</code>. If you use breakpoint-specific utilities, double-check the
new scale.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Re-test print views</strong> — AdminLTE 4 fixed a print-layout issue
(#5996); if you had custom print CSS, verify it still works.
</li>
