Why migrate from K2 before a Joomla 5 or 6 upgrade?
K2 does not run on Joomla 4, 5 or 6. A joomla k2 migration to com_content is required before you can stay on supported Joomla 5 & 6 (4.4 supported) releases.
If you are still on Joomla 3 with K2, we migrate content on staging, then upgrade core to Joomla 5 or 6 with extension and template checks. Sites already on Joomla 4.4+ can migrate K2-only libraries without a full version jump. Pair migration with our Joomla upgrade services when you need both steps in one engagement.
Quotes are in USD with agreed overlap for US, UK, Canadian, Australian and EU business hours. When K2 items store personal data, we follow GDPR-aware export and staging practices — scope is confirmed in your audit.
Our approach
Our K2 migration process
Six staging-first steps from K2 inventory through com_content import, redirects and Joomla 5 or 6 readiness.
1. Backup & K2 audit
Full backup, inventory of K2 items, categories, tags, extra fields, attachments and modules. We confirm the Joomla 5 or 6 target and note Joomla 3 migration steps if you are still on legacy core.
2. Staging environment
Clone to staging on PHP and database versions that match Joomla 5 & 6 (or 4.4 if you migrate content before the core jump). No production changes until QA passes.
3. Export & map K2 data
Export K2 tables and media. We map fields to com_content and custom fields, including author, publish state and featured flags.
4. Import to com_content
Import articles with category trees, tags and intro images. Large libraries use scripted batches with validation reports.
5. Menus, modules & redirects
Retarget menus and modules away from K2 views. Build 301 redirect rules for legacy K2 URLs and test internal links.
6. QA, upgrade & launch
Editor QA, accessibility spot checks, then Joomla 3→5/6 upgrade on staging if required. Cut over with rollback plan and agreed post-launch support.

Get a quoteJoomla-focused since 2010
We migrate K2 content on client sites and ship Joomla extensions on the JED — the depth needed for field mapping, menus and redirects.
Custom migration scripts
Large K2 libraries (1,000+ items) get scripted imports with repeatable QA instead of one-off manual copy-paste.
Zero-downtime cutover
Work happens in staging. Production stays live until migrated content passes review and redirect maps are verified.
SEO preservation
URL structures, meta data and internal links are reconciled with 301 redirects where paths must change.
Joomla 5 & 6 ready
Migrated articles use native custom fields and Cassiopeia-friendly structures — no K2 dependency on modern Joomla.
Post-launch support
A defined support window after go-live to fix edge-case links, modules and editor workflows.
Prefer to migrate K2 yourself?
Migrate K2 Pro moves K2 items, categories, tags, extra fields and images into native Joomla articles with progress tracking, rollback and export options — best for simpler sites after compatibility checks.

FAQ
Joomla K2 migration FAQ
Common questions about joomla k2 migration timelines, SEO, extra fields and moving from Joomla 3 sites that still run K2.
Answer
What is K2 in Joomla?
K2 is a third-party content extension that added extra fields, multiple item types and enhanced categories on Joomla 2.5 and 3.x. It does not run on Joomla 4, 5 or 6, so K2 libraries must move to com_content before you upgrade.
