    Module FAQ
    Is the module compatible with Joomla 3, 4, 5, and 6? Will it continue to work after a CMS update?
    Yes, the module is fully compatible with all current Joomla versions from 3.x to 6.x. We regularly test the extension and release updates. After upgrading to a new Joomla version, the widget will continue to work stably without conflicts with the system core or other components. You won't need to look for alternatives with every major CMS update.
    Will the widget affect website speed or add extra load to the server?
    The widget doesn't affect website speed and doesn't add extra load to your server. All article data is stored on VK servers and loads directly through the official API when a page opens. The Joomla database stays clean, with no texts, images, or media files from articles saved locally. This is especially important for high-traffic sites and limited hosting plans.
    Are programming skills required to install and configure the module?
    No, programming is not required. Installing the module takes just a couple of minutes, simply download the archive through the Joomla admin panel and activate the extension. To display an article on your site, you only need to copy its ID from VK and paste it into the module settings. The whole process is intuitive and requires no technical skills, even a beginner Joomla user can handle the setup.
