Dear JoomlaWorks and K2 Community,

I am new to K2. (I know, you are probably thinking, how is that possible?) See, I just got around to migrating my content from a Joomla 1.5 site to 3.+. The update and redesign of my site is going fairly well, and I'm pleased with the functionality of K2. Essentially I still prefer K2 over the Joomla core article management system, even though it now utilizes tags, because K2 also contains a nice comments feature and basically eliminates my need for Community Builder — though I may integrate K2 and CB together at a later date.

The thing is, I'm concerned K2 might not get upgraded for future Joomla versions, such as for Joomla 4, 5, etc... If that's the case, I would much prefer to just deal with the issue now by relying completely on the Joomla core system. (In the past I ran into a problem with one extension I was using to run my site. It was "the" main component and later wasn't upgraded by the developer. This really caused a huge problem: why I didn't get around to updating my site to Joomla 3.+ until now.)

Can you please tell me if I should be worried about K2 not being upgraded for use in future Joomla installs? What are the plans for the future of K2? Some information on the topic or reading material would be useful and much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance!
Scott

PS. I'm new, so please don't mind my ignorance if this issue has already been discussed at length or is totally obvious to others.

Hi Scott,

nobody can say, what about Joomla 4 or 5 and depending Extensions. I think you gave yourself the correct Answer: You have Reasons to take k2 now.

In the next few Month more about k2v3: www.joomlaworks.net/blog/item/259-k2-v3-0-to-be-officially-unveiled-in-joomladay-brasil-2015

Hello Scott,

Rest assured that K2 will support all future major version of Joomla!.
As for the plans for the future you might want to take a look at v3 which will be introduced in September.
