Issue

  • Requirement is to upgrade the Bootstrap library. 
    • Is functionality impacted when upgrading to Bootstrap 5 in portal 6.2 ? 
    • Is Liferay portal 6.2 compatible with Bootstrap 5? Is it supported ?

Environment

  • Liferay portal 6.2

Resolution

Note: Please choose to follow unofficial documents as per your discretion. 

  • By default, Liferay out of the Box provides Bootstrap 2.3.2. Upgrading to Bootstrap 5 is a major change and we are not able to guarantee its compatibility. 
  • As per the business needs, if you decide to adopt a different version which is not provided Out of the Box, it would not be cover under the Liferay support scope.
  • To update the Bootstrap, connecting with the respective vendor would help. If you need any assistance in implementing it in Liferay, please reach out to GS Team.
