Joomla 4 at end of life: keep sites safe and prepare the migration
Joomla 4 has reached end of life. Moving to Joomla 5 is simpler than going from 3 to 4, but it's best done calmly, one site at a time.
Many sites, little time, extensions to check.
Every Joomla 4 site has to be migrated, and first you need to know which extensions are compatible and have a reliable backup to start from.
Meanwhile those sites stay exposed to vulnerabilities that will no longer be fixed.
Watching now, and a backup ready for the migration.
The overview
See at once which sites still run Joomla 4, with their extensions and pending updates.
Protection
Core integrity, known vulnerabilities, new super users and suspicious files under watch.
Migration
An encrypted backup right before the upgrade, downloadable already decrypted if you need to go back.
