A successful backup job is not proof that a Joomla website can be recovered. It only shows that a tool, host, or administrator created something described as a backup. A dependable Joomla backup strategy goes further: it protects the required files and database, keeps multiple generations away...
To secure Joomla administrator login access effectively, do not rely on a single setting or a hidden URL. A safer approach combines supported Joomla software, a long and unique password, Multi-factor Authentication (MFA), carefully limited user permissions, clean extension management, prepared...
Joomla user registration deserves a deliberate security review before you invite visitors to create accounts. The most important question is not which CAPTCHA to select or how long a password should be. It is whether your site needs public, self-service registration at all. A school, club, or...

This is especially useful with Cassiopeia, Joomla’s supplied site template, because direct changes to Cassiopeia files may be overwritten by a later Joomla update. A child keeps its custom...
