I don’t think there are any plugins for it. I did some upgrade from cakephp 2 → cakephp 4 and I see 2 options :

  1. Migrate to cakephp 3, then to cakephp 4 following the migration guide. There is the upgrade-tool to update your source code.

  2. Install cakephp 5 and migrate your code manually. This is faster if your code-base is small. I did this when I migrated from cakephp 2 → cakephp 4

I’d also just start a fresh CakePHP 5 app and manually migrate stuff over. So many things have changed from CakePHP 2 that you are better off just re-creating the app.
