Joomla!
A clear path for your Joomla environment.
Understand the relationship between your Joomla version, PHP runtime, extensions, and templates before deciding what to update or migrate.
A platform-specific review
The details that shape the plan.
Older Joomla installations often carry a history of extension choices and customizations. A practical plan accounts for that history and separates immediate security work from a larger migration.
Core and extension inventory
Document components, modules, and plugins, including how each receives updates.
Template compatibility
Review templates and custom overrides alongside target Joomla and PHP requirements.
Update or migration decisions
Identify blockers and compare incremental updates with a separately scoped migration.
Operational continuity
Plan around content, users, permissions, forms, and integrations that must keep working.
Validation matters
Test the journeys your users rely on.
Agree representative checks before changes are made. The final validation scope depends on the site and its integrations.
- Content and template overrides
- User access levels and permissions
- Forms and third-party extensions
- Multilingual behavior where used
- Administration and scheduled tasks

Questions, answered
A little more clarity.
Every environment is different. These answers help set the starting point.
Discuss your situationDoes legacy support make old software fully supported?
No. It helps assess and manage an existing environment; it does not change vendor support policies or remove the need to address unsupported software.
Can extensions block an upgrade?
Yes. Extension and template requirements can differ from Joomla core. Dependencies need review before choosing target versions.
Will we need a rebuild?
The assessment should establish what can be retained, what needs replacing, and whether migration is separate work.
