Is your Website using an old version of Joomla! CMS?
The Joomla! Project™ recommends that you use the latest available version of its CMS.
The Joomla! Project only provides bug fix and security fix support for the latest versions of its CMS, namely:
- Joomla! 5.x, and
- Joomla! 6.x.
It no longer provides support for previous versions of its Joomla! CMS.
Websites using older versions of Joomla! CMS are therefore at increased risk of becoming Compromised.
This risk can be significantly reduced by using the latest version of Joomla! CMS with your Website.
If you need help migrating your Website to Joomla! 6 then just ask.
Contact Customer SupportCall 0770 300 4155 to explore how we can help you.
