Heads Up: This is the documentation for Joomla 3

We recommend using the Documentation for Joomla 5

It is more up-to-date and extensive. Most of it applies retrospectively to Joomla 3.

Joomla 6 Notice

We will be closed for company holidays from December 20th to January 12th.

We are pleased to announce that as of October 14, 2025, all of our Joomla extensions are compatible with Joomla 6.

For all who are still updateing from Joomla 3 to Joomla 4: Joomla 4 Migration instructions are available here:

There is a separate Documentation for Visforms for Joomla 4 and for Visforms for Joomla 5 and 6!
