What you can do

Bulk content work without the bulk work

Use the spreadsheet workflow your team already understands, while keeping full control over Joomla content structure and publishing.

Create & update content

Import new articles or update existing ones by ID. Map categories, aliases, tags, access levels, featured status and publishing data.

Build reusable templates

Design your article layout once, then merge spreadsheet values into placeholders while preserving consistent HTML and formatting.

Control Joomla parameters

Map metadata, author data, dates, languages, images, SEO fields and virtually every article parameter from your file.

Populate custom fields

Import Joomla Custom Fields and supported extension data for directories, catalogues, structured content and e-commerce workflows.

Import at scale

Process hundreds or thousands of rows in one operation—ideal for agency builds, product catalogues and recurring publishing jobs.

Move configurations

Export and reuse import configurations across development, staging and production sites instead of rebuilding mappings from scratch.

The Joomla! Project has announced the release of Joomla 5.1.3 and 4.4.7, bringing important security fixes and bug improvements to the popular content management system. As a long-time Joomla user and web developer, I'm excited to share the highlights of this release with you.

Security First

This update addresses several critical security vulnerabilities, including:

  • XSS vectors in Outputfilter::strip* methods
  • Improper ACL for backend profile view
  • XSS in HTML Mail Templates
  • Cache Poisoning in Pagination
  • Inadequate validation of internal URLs

It's crucial to note that two of these fixes involve behavior changes that may affect existing sites. Be sure to check the 5.1.3 release FAQ for more details.

What's New in 5.1.3?

Besides the security patches, Joomla 5.1.3 brings several improvements:

  • Updated TinyMCE to version 6.8.4
  • Fixed attachment handling in Mail class
  • Improved Schema.org data management
  • Enhanced frontend language handling for multilingual sites
  • Various UI and JavaScript fixes

Joomla 4.4.7 Update For those still on the 4.x branch, 4.4.7 focuses primarily on bug fixes. While it doesn't introduce new features, it's an essential stepping stone for future upgrades to Joomla 5.x.

Upgrading to Joomla 5 If you're considering the move to Joomla 5, there's good news: upgrading from 4.4.x to 5.x is relatively straightforward. Many Joomla 4 extensions will work in Joomla 5, especially with the new Backward Compatibility Plugin. However, it's always wise to test the upgrade on a copy of your site first.

Don't feel pressured to upgrade immediately – Joomla 4.4 will be supported for two more years. Take your time to ensure all your extensions are Joomla 5 compatible.

Getting Involved

Joomla's strength lies in its community. Whether you're a coder, integrator, or user, there are many ways to contribute:

A big thank you to all the volunteers who made this release possible. Their dedication keeps Joomla secure, accessible, and powerful for users worldwide.
