Joomla 5 Support

Joomla 4.4 and 5 compatibility for management component and client plugin with ongoing support for client plugins in Joomla 3.8+, Joomla 4.x and Joomla 5.

Both the management component and client plugin should run in Joomla 5 without the need to enable the backwards compatibility plugin. If you encounter any problem please let us know and we will seek to resolve the issues ASAP.

We always recommend that you make sure your client sites are backed up before relying on YourSites - just as you should when applying upgrades using Joomla directly on your client sites. Yoursites provides an interface to Akeeba Backup Professional on your client sites so you can initiate the creation of these backups from your YourSites server.

New Features/Enhancements
