Like it or not, agree or not, Joomla 3 series is now end of life, and in August 2023 will become end of support – this means that up until that date the Joomla Project “may” release a new version (Joomla 3.10.12) if a security issue is discovered of such magnitude that they believe it would be wise to update the world. It rarely happens.
This is not an article telling you how to migrate Joomla 3 to Joomla 4. This is an article for mySites.guru subscribers on how to continue to use the mySites.guru service with their Joomla sites after migrating them.
Joomla 3 is nearing its end of life. and will reach its final resting date on August 17, 2023.
After that date no more Joomla 3 releases will be made. Not even if a security issue is found in Joomla 3!
In today’s blog post we are going to highlight some features that allow you oversight of all your sites principle information – in a single place – the mySites.guru dashboard. Having this information to hand, instead of spread over disparate systems, spreadsheets, post-it-notes allows you to make decisions much faster and see at a glance what needs doing.
What is fluff??? – Unneeded files that Joomla distributes that you can safely remove from your site.
Lots of people asked us to remove “Fluff files” automatically on upgrading Joomla – well, you can now opt in for this on the Settings Tab of your Manage Site pages in your account at https://mySites.guru
Tagging sites allows you to quickly and easily organize and control your sites in our service.
mySites.guru already organizes your collection of sites in some of the most commonly used groupings (i.e.. Upgrades & Updates, Your Webserver Hosts, No SSL Certificate, etc.) but we know that no two web geniuses think alike, so we created the ability for you to group the sites you manage in as many groupings as you wish!
That’s right we finally added the 69,000th website to the mySites.guru service, allowing customer to manage their security, best practice, backups and audits all in one place. Joomla or WordPress or ANY PHP based website!
At the time of writing the live counter on the home page of mySites.guru, which reads in realtime the number of sites from our service, is at 69,171 ! 🎉
mySites.guru has been going for over a decade, but the increase in sites being added has started to increase recently – as we add more and more features, and yet have kept the same low subscription prices since 2012 !
Don’t take our word for it – we know we are great!
Please, don’t take our word for how great our service is, ask any of our subscribers – many of which are on twitter and have given us praise from their own accounts, so you can verify their authenticity – we dont have old, fake review statements on our site – no hot air here, just loyal customers, in public, telling it how it is on their own tweet timelines. We collate those on the https://mysites.guru/reviews/ page but you can click each to authenticate their authenticity.
When you have a problem with your site, or need support for mySites.guru features there are no queues, no ticket systems – you get full and direct access to the developer who wrote the service, who knows each line of code of the service intimately. You get fixes fast.
Is your site hacked? No problem – I can fix that too for a SET fee! – no per hour quotes and estimates needed!
mySites.guru – is the dashboard that allows you to manage all these – WordPress, Joomla, PrestaShop, Magento – any PHP based webspace… all from one location!
Ok its 22:03PM Friday night and I have one more surprise feature for you, deployed and ready for your use this weekend!Enjoy!
One of the great features about Joomla is the Post Installation Message. However when you are managing 1000s of Joomla sites, it can be tiresome to silence these message and remove the notification in your Joomla admin console – This is no longer a problem for mySites.guru subscribers!
Even if you have forgotten your Joomla/WordPress username and password!
Along with all the amazing features of mySites.guru such as the snapshot, the white label reporting, the audit and backup features – there are a lot of little feature that I use every day that is so easily overlooked.
This is one of those: One click admin login.
Since 2017, you have been able to login from mySites.guru with a single click, 1000s of you already use this feature and we publish live statistics of this within your account
As a mySites.guru subscriber you can generate unlimited high quality screenshots of all your connected websites – Joomla or WordPress!
For every site you connect to mySites.guru service, we will generate a homepage screenshot of the website in a PNG format at 1024px x 768px and host that image on the highly available Amazon S3 bucket service for your use.
