Many users with Composer challenges don't see the new "Composer" forum created half a year ago, and post in "Upgrading Drupal" ...

Suggested solution: Move Composer forum up

Perhaps the "Composer" forum can be moved up on https://www.drupal.org/forum → page, so that it's above "Upgrading Drupal"?

Also, in the "Upgrading Drupal" help text, we could add a link to Composer?

NOW

Upgrading Drupal

This forum is for questions about upgrading an existing Drupal site. Don't forget to read the UPGRADE.txt file that comes with every Drupal download.

BETTER?

Upgrading Drupal

For questions about upgrading an existing Drupal site, see also the included UPGRADE.txt file. Use the Composer → forum for questions about that.

Suggested solution: Link to Drupal upgrade page

Also, on POSTING IN THIS FORUM - read this first → , I think we should add a direct link to the How to upgrade from Drupal 9 to Drupal 10 → page.

It would help remove many of the typical stumbling blocks, for example getting blocked by Drupal Console. The suggested addition is in bold below:

[...]
Before posting here, you must read How to ask for support from the Drupal community, including some specific guidelines for getting help with Composer. Also make sure that you have read our documentation pages about Using Composer.

To upgrade to Drupal 10 with Composer, see How to upgrade from Drupal 9 to Drupal 10 → .

Please do not start discussions about the general merits of Composer. Such discussions will be closed as off-topic.

    Should not it be at least right after Upgrading Drupal? I would not want Composer is used for every question about upgrading Drupal just because that is the first sub-forum they see listed.

    I don't think that's a realistic scenario, or that it would even be a problem. As it is now, we too often have to ask for details.

    Moving up the Composer forum would increase the likelihood that a forum post enters the correct forum, with the right amount of details, so that we can much more efficiently help the user.
