I developed a site a little less than a year ago and installed Jom Social as an extension. I am currently at version 2.5.9 of Joomla and my Jom Social is at 2.8.4.2 and is expired. I paid the $149 for the Pro version. Well, my site is now hacked and the first step in the process to find out why says to upgrade everything. If I upgrade Joomla to the current 2.5.16, will my Jom Social version still work, or do I need to upgrade that? If I upgrade, does that mean I need to purchase again? (I also have Kunena and a theme applied, so upgrading was quite a task to get all of the versions where they coincide...this is why I am behind in versions.) Any help here would be greatly appreciated as our webmail is sending out thousands of emails a minute!
A month ago we discovered a security hole in JomSocial code and provide a security fix for it -it is free for all:
www.jomsocial.com/blog/hot-fix-3-1-0-4
. So you can stay with JomSocial 2.8.x.x but it will be good for you if you apply that patch.
Honestly is better to have current (stable or LTS) versions of Joomla and other extensions. You stay with older for your own risk...
