Time to Upgrade to the New MODX?
October 13, 2025
Over the past year, we’ve been busy converting a number of websites to the new branch of MODX, version 3, and we’ve been setting up all new websites with this version. The previous branch, MODX 2.8, will continue to be supported for some time, although only for things like bug fixes and security updates, not new features. MODX 3 has become pretty reliable at this point, and just about all plugins have been updated to work with it. So whereas in the past we have told most clients to hold off on upgrading, at this point we are whole-heartedly behind transitioning to keep our clients’ websites current going well into the future. The new version definitely looks more visually appealing and has new features that are pretty great. It’s also much better for programmers, using up-to-date coding capabilities.
Need Extra-Secure Login?
October 01, 2025
For clients needing extra security on the back end of their websites, we’ve been installing a two-factor authentication (2FA) plugin. None of our websites have had cases of hackers logging in via the website manager, but with the rise in hacking in general, 2FA gives extra peace of mind. Let us know if you would like this feature; it's pretty easy to set up. FYI, this plugin does not send out text messages; users would need to use a dedicated 2FA app, like 2FAS (our personal favorite), Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, etc.
