Frequently Asked Questions

Is LEPTON still maintained?

Yes. The official project announced LEPTON 7.5.0 in April 2026 as a maintenance and bug-fix release. Check the release notes and the version offered through cPanel before installing. An actively maintained core does not automatically make every old template or add-on compatible with the latest PHP release.

Does LEPTON support multiple languages?

The official site lists multilingual support and several interface languages. Decide which site pages need translation and who will maintain each language before building the navigation. Confirm whether chosen templates and add-ons expose the strings you need, since multilingual core support does not translate custom content or every extension automatically.

Is LEPTON free to use?

LEPTON offers its CMS and both free and commercial add-ons. The project says commercial add-ons can carry separate licenses and usage fees. Check the terms supplied with the core package and each extension you choose, and budget for any paid functionality separately from your RSH Web Services hosting plan.

Can editors update LEPTON without writing HTML?

LEPTON provides an administrative backend and WYSIWYG content editing, so routine page updates need not require hand-editing templates. A designer or developer may still be needed for theme changes and complex add-ons. Define editor roles before publishing and test the experience with an account that has ordinary editing permissions.

Can LEPTON run on PHP 8.5?

The LEPTON project states that its current release is compatible with PHP 8.5. Check the exact installer release and the PHP versions supported by the add-ons you intend to use; those may have different constraints. Verify your cPanel PHP configuration and use the project's precheck when planning installation or upgrade.

What should be backed up before a LEPTON upgrade?

Save a full MySQL or MariaDB database export and all site files, including media uploads, templates, modules, and configuration. Review cPanel backup tools and any applicable Softaculous controls before changing the site. Keep an independent copy and confirm you can restore it; the ability to install an update does not guarantee recovery.

Can I move my existing LEPTON site to RSH Web Services?

Start with a complete inventory of the existing LEPTON version, template, add-ons, database, and uploads. Use cPanel transfer and backup tools first and check whether Softaculous recognizes your installation. Test the site privately on the destination, including user logins and media, before changing DNS or closing the old account.

How can I control who edits LEPTON pages?

LEPTON describes a scalable access system for assigning different permissions. Give each contributor only the access needed for their role, and reserve configuration and add-on installation for trusted administrators. Test permissions with a separate user account and revisit them whenever a new module introduces additional menus or editable content.

Is LEPTON suitable for a large online store?

LEPTON is a flexible CMS, but a full commerce workflow depends on suitable, maintained add-ons rather than an assumption about core features. Verify checkout, payments, stock, tax, and support for the version you install. If commerce is central to the project, compare specialist platforms before choosing a LEPTON build.
