I have been a long \u00a0time supporter of Joomla and think it&#8217;s a great platform. Unfortunately when they changed over their versions from 1.5\u00a0to 3 they changed the setup so those older platforms had to do a total rework &#8211; yuck! And don&#8217;t get me started on the template issues. So I moved most of my old Joomla clients to <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WordPress<\/a>. The big key for me switching is that when they do an upgrade, the platform doesn&#8217;t change. You don&#8217;t have to do any major overhaul to it like those old Joomla users. That was a big killer for me and my clients and so disappointing. Plus the more I&#8217;ve used WordPress, the more I&#8217;ve fallen in love with it&#8217;s ease of use and the softer more user friendly adminstrative panel.<\/p><p>Anyway&#8230;. update your install!<\/p><h2>Helpful links about Joomla and WordPress<\/h2><ul><li>Read the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joomla.org\/announcements\/release-news\/5642-important-security-announcement-pre-release-347.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joomla Patch announcement<\/a><\/li><li>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.joomla.org\/Joomla_1.5_to_3.x_Step_by_Step_Migration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">migrating Joomla 1.5 to 3<\/a><\/li><li>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.joomla.org\/Template_Considerations_During_Migration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">your templates when migrating between Joomla versions<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/WordPress_Features\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WordPress features<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joomla 3.4.7 Security Patch Release For all you folks on a \u200eJoomla\u202c CMS, they have released a major secruity patch for 3.4.7 that you need to get taken care of.
