Joomla 4 at end of life: keep sites safe and plan the migration
Joomla 4 has reached end of life. Moving to Joomla 5 is simpler than going from 3 to 4, but it still needs doing carefully, one site at a time.
The problem
Many sites, little time, extensions to check.
Every Joomla 4 site has to be migrated, but first you need to know which extensions are compatible and have a reliable backup to start from.
Meanwhile those sites stay exposed to any vulnerability that will never be fixed.
