Important Announcement for All Joomlawired.com Hosting Users: Time to Upgrade!

Dear Joomlawired.com Community,

We trust this message finds you well. In a dynamic digital landscape, adapting to maintain top-tier and secure platforms is paramount. With this in mind, we're sharing pivotal changes regarding Joomla support.

Joomla Support Changes:

  1. Support for anything 'lower' than Joomla 3 will cease in November 2023
    If your website is operating on a version before Joomla 3, the urgency to upgrade before this deadline cannot be overstated.

  2. Support for Joomla 3.9 and versions below will end in January 2024.
    If you're running on Joomla 3.9 or an older iteration, it's critical to consider an upgrade before this timeframe.

  3. Joomla 3.10x support will conclude in August 2024.
    This gives you ample opportunity to transition to a newer version, safeguarding both the functionality and security of your website.

Safety Measures for Prolonged Usage:

Recognizing the challenges that often arise with upgrades, we're taking proactive steps to enhance the security of websites that might not transition by the specified dates. Starting November 2023, sites operating on versions below Joomla 3.10 will be safeguarded with Sucuri. Here's how Sucuri will fortify your site's defences:

*Please note that this added security service comes at an additional cost of £19.98 p/m.

  • Malware Scanning: Continuous scrutiny of your website for malware, breaches, and blocklist status will be conducted. Expect automated, website-specific alerts upon detection of any anomalies.

  • Robust Firewall Protection: Your platforms will be shielded from familiar cyber threats, including SQL Injections, Cross-site scripting (XSS), Remote Code Execution (RCE), and Brute-force attacks. This defensive layer is pivotal to deter malicious bots and neutralize aggressive, harmful traffic.

  • Virtual Patching and Hardening: Beyond immediate defenses, Sucuri introduces virtual patching and hardening, boosting your site's resilience against cyber adversaries.

Template Compatibility and Our Solution:

For those running on anything lower than Joomla 3.10x, it's likely that your current template isn't compatible with the newer versions of Joomla. This incompatibility means that an upgrade would necessitate a rebuild of your website.
