You don’t need a badge to polish to contribute to Joomla. You just need to roll up your sleeves and do it.

Joomla 5.2 quietly introduced a powerful new content feature: native accordions in TinyMCE, powered by standard HTML rather than JavaScript. This gives content creators an easy way to add collapsible sections while keeping markup clean, accessible, and future-proof.

Small layout changes can make a big difference to how content is perceived. One of the most effective improvements you can make to a category blog layout is to treat the leading article differently from the rest — visually signalling that it matters more.

This tutorial explains how to add extra fields to the Joomla Contact form using Custom Fields. The process uses core Joomla functionality, requires no third-party extensions, and is fully upgrade-safe.

You’ll learn how to create a field, configure permissions correctly, control where it appears on the form, and ensure submitted values are included in the contact email.

Joomla’s built-in access control system is one of its strongest features and restricting content in this way is a very common requirement for membership sites, magazines, online courses.

On my site I want to have a module listing all the blog posts sorted by date. We can do this out of the box using the new mod_articles (since Joomla 5.2) module.

Why do some Joomla posts get shared and ranked, while others disappear online? The secret isn’t better SEO or more plugins. It’s better writing.

We’ve all been there, clicking a link full of promise, only to land face-first in the dreaded “404 Not Found.” It’s like opening a door and finding a brick wall. For your visitors, it’s a frustrating dead end. For you, the site owner, it’s an opportunity.

When managing a website, content changes are inevitable. Articles get updated, pages evolve, and information needs to stay current. But what happens when you need to undo a change or review who edited what? That’s where content versioning in Joomla comes in.
