What‘s wrong with Joomla 2.5? Joomla 2.5.28 is now end of life! At the end of 2014, Joomla 2.5.28 became "end of support" meaning that no new releases in this series will be made. Moving to Joomla 3 is critical.

 "Joomla 2.5 reached its end-of-life on December 31st, 2014. It will never be secure in 2018, and you can be expect to be hacked repeatedly". - MyJoomla https://myjoomla.com/

We recently received a phone call from a client who had all of the 'Read More' links dissappear from their Joomla web site. We carefully checked the articles in question in the administrator interface and could clearly see the 'Read More' link indicator in the desired place in the articles. But they would not display in the front end, no matter what we tried. It turns out the problem and the corresponding solution was so obvious, it fooled us for a few hours. (Yes, hours!)

We often get asked about high profile Joomla sites. One of the really nice things about Joomla is that its powerful enough to run even the most complex or high traffic websites while still being simple enough for "normal" humans to use. We mostly use Joomla for small and medium business websites. Still its nice to know that it can grow with you if you ever need to run a huge empire!

So here's a list of well known or large websites that are using Joomla. 

At the risk of sounding like a broken record we can't emphasise the importance of keeping your website secure. You might think its overkill and a risk you are willing to take but we can guarantee you after being hacked once you will change your mind very quickly.

Hackers can steal user information, passwords, install malicious software, and can even distribute malware to your users. And all that without taking into consideraton the costs involved in getting your website and information back online if taken down.
