Joomla 5.4.5 tidies media, forms and content plugins

Joomla 5.4.5 is a bugfix release for the 5.x series, addressing issues in content plugins, the Media Manager, custom fields, forms and editor styling.

Site administrators can install Joomla 5.4.5 as an update package on existing Joomla 5 sites, while new installations can use the full packages. The release contains a focused set of fixes rather than new major features.

  • Recursion is prevented in the loadposition/loadmodule plugin, and onContentPrepare handling is fixed in mod_articles.
  • The Media Manager now avoids double timezone conversion in file dates, and its rotate-angle input no longer resets to zero.
  • Custom-field ShowOnRule regular-expression handling is corrected, while required modal category fields are highlighted properly after validation errors.
  • TinyMCE now loads non-minified custom CSS when a minified version is unavailable.
  • Additional changes address RTL/LTR corner-radius consistency, duplicate subform-field warnings, association template paths and documentation wording.

Extension developers and site teams should review the changes and test affected editing, media and form workflows after updating. Joomla provides full and update packages through its download page, while the complete change list is available on GitHub.
