• Joomlabamboo,
• and DTHDevelopment

Outdated products can result in subpar performance and security risks when updated. Instead, we're focusing on creating new, cutting-edge solutions for Joomla 5 to enhance your websites and provide a better user experience.

Can I migrate from Joomla 4 to Joomla 5 beta3?

Joomla 4.4.x to 5.x is an Upgrade, not a migration

Many of you may be wondering if you can migrate your Joomla 4 site to Joomla 5. The answer is yes, but with an important caveat.

You will be able to migrate your Joomla 4 site to Joomla 5, but please be aware that Joomla 5 is currently in beta. As such, it is recommended only for testing and development purposes at this stage.
