Edit the file administrator/components/com_akeeba/BackupPlatform/Joomla3x/Platform.php and find this block of code in lines 735-751:
// If the release is older than 3 months, issue a warning
if (defined('AKEEBA_DATE'))
{
$releaseDate = new Date(AKEEBA_DATE);
if (time() - $releaseDate->toUnix() > 10368000)
{
if (!isset($ret['warnings']))
{
$ret['warnings'] = [];
$ret['warnings'] = array_merge($ret['warnings'], [
'Your version of Akeeba Backup is more than 120 days old and most likely already out of date. Please check if a newer version is published and install it.',
]);
}
}
}
Change the second line reading if (defined('AKEEBA_DATE')) to now read:
if (false) Save the file. Now the code which was adding the backup warning is removed.
I would also like to ask you for your permission to set this ticket to public.
