Joomla 4.4 upgrade a Joomla 5.0 Final

How can I upgrade my site to Joomla 5?​

Good news for Joomla 4.4.x to 5.x, it’s an upgrade, not a migration. Why? Two main reasons:

1. Joomla 4 (J4) extensions that have removed all deprecations of code and are using up-to date Joomla code, will work in Joomla 5 (J5)
2. Most others will work with the new Behaviour - Backward Compatibility Plugin enabled

Note: we advise you to first test the upgrade on a copy of your production site.

You may also wonder if you have to migrate ASAP. You can take your time; we’ll support 4.4 for 2 more years. So your site is not at risk if you don’t upgrade now. And don’t forget that some of your extensions may not be yet ready for Joomla 5 (even though most developers have done a great job offering a Joomla 5 test version for a while. You can filter by version in the Joomla Extensions Directory so you can see which are ready for J5 and which are J5 ready with the b/c plugin enabled.
