Developer Note

Heads-up, don't create a plugin as behaviour plugin because it's possible that this group get removed at some point.

Joomla 7 Compatibility Plugin

In Joomla! 7.0 the Compatibility Plugin introduced in Joomla! 6.0 will be replaced by a new plugin called "Behaviour - Backward Compatibility 7".

Despite the warning about the potential removal of the behaviour plugin type, this compatibility plugin still uses this type to ensure it loads before any other plugin, as this is critical for backward compatibility functionality.

Detailed documentation

The compatibility plugin does contain some deprecated code which is only loaded when the plugin is enabled. In the removed backward incompatibility guide is documented in detail, what is moved to the plugin.
