Use this interactive demo to learn how to find your current Joomla version in minutes.

Quick summary

Checking your Joomla version requires logging into the Joomla admin panel and navigating to System Information. The exact version number is displayed under the Joomla! Version line in the System Information page.


Steps

  1. Open your browser and navigate to your Joomla admin panel.
  2. Enter your credentials and click Log in.
  3. On the dashboard, check the top-right corner — the version number is often displayed there.
  4. If the version is not visible on the dashboard, navigate to the System section from the main menu.
  5. Select System Information from the System menu.
  6. Look for the line labeled Joomla! Version to confirm your current Joomla version.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing your exact Joomla version is essential for maintaining site security, applying the correct updates, and ensuring extension compatibility. Running an outdated version of Joomla exposes your site to known vulnerabilities, making version checks a critical part of any CMS maintenance routine. Site administrators and developers can quickly verify their Joomla installation version directly from the admin panel without needing FTP access or database queries. This straightforward process helps teams stay on top of Joomla upgrades and keep their websites stable and secure.
