WKND project not working on AEM 6.4

[NehaBa4]

Hi everyone,

I tried setting up the WKND project on my local AEM 6.4 instance.

I was able to build and install the package, but when I try to open the WKND pages, I'm getting either a blank page or component not found errors.

I have verified bundle is active and also there are no error logs.

Would appreciate any suggestions - stuck here!

@NehaBa4 welcome to Adobe Experience League community. Can you please give us more details like aem sub version? Is it 6.4.0? Similarly can you please also give details about your AEM code archetype as well as WKND project version used/installed.

Please refer to below page for version compatibility.

@Shashi_Mulugu I am using AEM 6.4.8.0 and WKND Reference Site - 1.1.0

Hello @NehaBa4 

Please use Release WKND Reference Site - 1.0.0 · adobe/aem-guides-wknd · GitHub

• aem-guides-wknd.all-1.0.0-classic.zip: AEM 6.5.4+, AEM 6.4.8+ This is built with the additional profile classic and uses v6.4.4 of the uber jar.

@aanchal-sikka - Thanks for your response. Yes, I did tried that too but didn't worked!Followed all the steps and build with classic profile.

Hi @NehaBa4,

The official WKND project from https://github.com/adobe/aem-guides-wknd is built mainly for AEM 6.5 and AEM as a Cloud Service. Older AEM versions like 6.4 are not officially supported, and may be that’s why you’re hitting issues like missing components, blank pages etc.

Try using older WKND version

• There was an older WKND repo (archived) for AEM 6.4, but it's no longer actively maintained.

• Here's the older one if you want to experiment: https://github.com/adobe/aem-guides-wknd-legacy

However, if you are just experimenting and want to give it a try: Use a compatible AEM version (Per documentation)

• Ideally, switch to AEM 6.5 (any Service Pack, e.g., 6.5.10+ recommended).

• WKND leverages features like Editable Templates and Core Components 2.x/3.x, which are not fully available or compatible in 6.4.

Hope that helps!

@SantoshSai - Yes, it worked with the legacy WKND version, but it definitely makes more sense to go with AEM 6.5 as I’m mainly doing this for experimental purposes.
