Check any Moodle site’s version and support status.
Enter a URL. We read a handful of public files Moodle serves without a login and tell you the major version and whether it still gets security fixes. It’s free and takes a few seconds.
As of October 2026, Moodle 5.0 and every release before 4.5 are out of security support. Moodle 4.5 LTS and 5.1 receive security fixes only. Moodle 5.2 is supported, and Moodle 5.3 LTS (released 5 October 2026, supported to 1 October 2029) is the recommended version for upgrades.
Moodle versions and support dates
Every Moodle release has a published end date for general support (bug and security fixes) and for security support. After the security date, newly found vulnerabilities in that version are not fixed.
| Version | Released | General support ends | Security support ends |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4.1 LTS | 28 Nov 2022 | 11 Dec 2023 | 8 Dec 2025 |
| 4.2 | 24 Apr 2023 | 22 Apr 2024 | 7 Oct 2024 |
| 4.3 | 9 Oct 2023 | 7 Oct 2024 | 21 Apr 2025 |
| 4.4 | 22 Apr 2024 | 21 Apr 2025 | 8 Dec 2025 |

What your result means
Supported
The version still gets bug and security fixes. Keep applying point releases, and plan your next upgrade before the general support date.
Security fixes only
Bugs are no longer fixed, but security issues still are. This is the time to schedule an upgrade, ideally to 5.3 LTS.
Unsupported
No more security fixes. Any vulnerability disclosed from now on stays open on your site. Upgrade as a priority. If you’re on 4.1–4.3, that means two hops via 4.5 LTS; see upgrade paths.
How the checker works
Moodle serves a handful of files without requiring a login, and their exact content changes from release to release. We fetch four of them, including admin/environment.xml and a built theme JavaScript file, hash each one and match the hash against a known set for every major version from 4.0 to 5.2. We also check the login page for a docs.moodle.org branch link, which encodes the version directly. Support status then comes from Moodle’s own release calendar.
Limits, honestly
- No login, ever. We only request public, static files and the login page.
- A heavily customised theme or a blocked
/admin/path can hide the signal. You’ll see “low confidence” rather than a wrong version. - Fingerprints currently cover majors 4.0 to 5.2. Moodle 5.3 was released on 5 October 2026 and its fingerprints are being added.
- We only report the major version (for example 4.5, not 4.5.14).
Other ways to find your Moodle version
- As an administrator: go to Site administration › Notifications. The version and build are shown at the bottom of the page.
- On the server: open
version.phpin the Moodle code folder and read the$releaseline.
Moodle version FAQ
How do I check which Moodle version a site is running?
Enter the site’s address in the free checker above. It reads public files and reports the major version and support status. Administrators can also see the exact version under Site administration > Notifications, or in the version.php file on the server.
Is Moodle 4.5 still supported?
Moodle 4.5 LTS receives security fixes only until 4 October 2027. General bug-fix support ended on 6 October 2025. Plan an upgrade to Moodle 5.3 LTS before October 2027.
When does Moodle 5.0 support end?
Moodle 5.0 security support ended on 5 October 2026. Sites on 5.0 should upgrade to Moodle 5.3 LTS.
What is the latest Moodle LTS version?
Moodle 5.3 LTS, released on 5 October 2026, with security support until 1 October 2029. The previous LTS, 4.5, is supported until 4 October 2027.
Does the checker log in to my site?
It never logs in. It only requests public static files and the login page, the same files any browser can load.
Out of support? Let’s fix that at a fixed price.
