Which version of Joomla!® CMS should you use?
ALWAYS use the latest available release of the Joomla! content management system (or CMS).
Frequently check for new releases - we tell you how in this article.
Some of these will be bug fix releases. Others will be SECURITY RELEASES.
Is your website using the latest available release of the Joomla! CMS?
We strongly recommend that you only ever run the latest release of the Joomla! CMS and any 3rd party extensions you have installed.
Reasons:
- Joomla! 1.0, 1.5 and 2.5 are no longer supported by the Joomla! Project.
- The Joomla! Project ended support for the Joomla! 2.5 series on 31st December 2014, meaning no more bug fixes, new features, or security updates.
- Joomla! 3.0 series was launched in 2013.
- The latest version is Joomla! 3.7. It was released in 2017 and was a SECURITY Release.
We advise you to keep up to date with news about Joomla! CMS and Joomla! extension releases.
And in so doing, protecting your website from hackerists.
