SPPB for Joomla 5

Asked by Addington 3 years ago Last activity 3 years ago

Could you please let me know if SPPB Pro is Joomla 5 compatible?
With or without Behaviour - Backward Compatibility Plugin?
If it is not, do you have any plans or timelines for Joomla 5 compatibility updates? Your response will be valuable in my upgrade planning.

Hi Charles,

I responded that question on forum already, but I will repeat:

  1. We prepared SPPB 5.1.5 update for Joomla 5, and now is in testing hands, stable should be publised in next week.
  2. During my 2005-2023 Joomla Expirence period, I learned one thing, using version x.0.0 is never a good idea for production website. I played with 3 testing J5 sites already and many popular extensions do not work anymore or display error messages.
  3. I understand that modern webmasters wants everything new and instantly, but it's often worth waiting for later versions x.0.3+ to avoid getting axed in one evening. Unless somebody is already bald.
  4. Joomla 4.4 will be supported by Joomla Dev Team by next 12 months or even longer. So I don't see a need to upgrade to J5 today or even next week. But each of us will do what we think is right at the time, referring to the proverb "your time - your deal."

Hello Charles Southgate

We will update SP Page Builder with Joomla 5 compatibility very soon. We do not have any ETA to share now.

Best regards
