Hey everyone!
I’ve just released Gantry 5.5.20 CI build ( gantry.org/downloads#ci-builds ), and this one is packed with updates that need thorough testing before it can be considered stable. This release brings full PHP 8.3 compatibility, native Joomla 5 support (no Compatibility Plugin required!), and a brand new dark mode for Joomla.
Here’s a quick look at what’s new, improved, and fixed:
✅ Highlights:
- PHP 8.3 compatibility
- Native support for Joomla 5 (no more Compatibility Plugin!)
- Dark mode for Joomla backend
- Updated minimum PHP version to 8.1.0
- Dropped legacy PHP and Joomla 3.x support
- Replaced deprecated and abandoned packages
- Tons of bug fixes across Joomla, WordPress, and Grav platforms
Notable fixes:
- Infolist particle formatting issues resolved
- SVG display issues on Joomla 5 login/404 pages fixed
- Infinite recursion with large menus patched
- Compatibility improvements with Joomla 5.1.1
- Various WordPress and Grav fixes
Full changelog here: github.com/gantry/gantry5/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md
This is a major update, and I’d love your help putting it through its paces. Whether you're running Joomla, WordPress, or Grav, your feedback is incredibly valuable to ensure everything runs smoothly across platforms.
Please test the new release and share your feedback, bugs, or observations. The more eyes on it, the better the final release will be for everyone!
Thanks in advance for your help! ?

Hello Karol,
First of all, thank you for all this work!
I tested it on two test sites (system debugging enabled and error reporting maximum) (commit: 0af1503d3).

Version de la base de données 10.6.21-MariaDB
Interclassement de la base de données latin1_swedish_ci
Collation de la connexion à la base de données utf8mb4_general_ci
Cryptage de la connexion à la base de données Aucun
Le serveur de base de données prend en charge le cryptage des connexions Non

1/ The first website site configuration :(multilingual JCE/Widgetkit/RSform pro/ Gantry Helium Last build was generated 3 days ago (commit: 0af1503d3) ... :all looks OK.
2 The second website test : (multilingual JCE/Widgetkit/RSform pro/ Gantry Last build was generated 3 days ago (commit: 0af1503d3) ..., Versla RT templates) :
presented several error messages with the classic :
- deprecated: htmlspecialchars(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /home/scxyzxyz/emywebsitexxooo.fr/templates/rt_versla/html/layouts/chromes/gantry.php on line 31
resolved as with previous versions of Gantry in (modif with replace the versla gantry.php with helium 5.5.19 > versla / html/ layouts / chrome / gantry.php).
- Other error messages that disappear when I turn debugging off :
Deprecated: htmlspecialchars(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /home/scxyzxyz/emywebsitexxxx.fr/modules/mod_search/mod_search.php on line 44
Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property YOOtheme\Widgetkit\Content\Twitter\TwitterOAuth::$credentials is deprecated in /home/scxyzxyz/emywebsitexxxx.fr/administrator/components/com_widgetkit/plugins/content/twitter/src/TwitterOAuth.php on line 21
Hope all this will help ? !
Thanks again for all this
Best R
