If you run a Joomla 4 site you would have noticed that J!4 has entered 'Security Only' mode. This means that it will only received security updates until 17th October 2025 after which time it will lo longer be actively supported. The solution is therefore to upgrade to Joomla 5.

Screenshot 2025-02-17 at 10.14.37 am.png

Whilst some of you running ES products have upgraded to J!5, there is no definitive compatibility matrix that lists what works and what doesn't. Hopefully we can correlate that here.

What I can say is that this site is running J! 5.2.3 / Easydiscuss 5.0.15 / PHP 8.3.17 / mysqlnd 8.3.17 (MYSQL 8.0.33)

(I am in the process of updating MYSQL)

The official requirements for Joomla are as follows

J!4 recommends PHP 8.2 / SQL 8.0
J!5 recommends PHP 8.3 / SQL 8.1


The PHP EOL data is as follows...

https://juser.org/index.php?option=com_easydiscuss&controller=attachment&task=download&tmpl=component&id=2


This means that whilst J!5 currently recommends PHP 8.3, there is every likelihood that this requirement will be increased to 8.4 at some point before current PHP 8.3 support ends.

So if you have a working version of any SI product on J!5, please share your current environment so that we can understand what is working.

Probably more important, is if you have tried to update to J!5 and it has failed. Again. list your environment so that we can understand what is not working.

OK. So just setting up some test environments and note that there is no official php 8.1 only 8.0 / 8.4 and 9.2

So I'm testing installations under php 8.4 as I think that 8.0 is generally fine.
