The 5 top articles from my TYPO3 newsletter January 2026
Have the article read aloud.
What are TYPO3 professionals really interested in right now? The number of clicks on my last newsletter provides the answers. Here are the five articles that were best received by you.
1. TYPO3 14: The new default theme Camino is here
TYPO3 had a problem for years: Fresh installations only showed error messages. Now there's finally a default theme. Camino brings four color schemes, flexible structures and uses modern features such as site sets. Installation is easy, especially for fresh setups. For existing projects, you need a few more manual steps.
2. hybrid project management in practice: Iterative TYPO3 upgrade & relaunch
The Marketing Factory shows how they upgraded a TYPO3 website from v9 to v13. Without parallel operation and without content freeze. Instead of the classic waterfall model, they relied on small-scale upgrades with flexible planning. The advantage: new features could be implemented quickly and all improvements were available immediately. The project comprised 2,500 pages, 30,000 content elements and over 1,000 Git commits. An honest insight into modern project management.
3. AI integration in TYPO3 via MCP: The end of backend fiddling
Imagine creating content directly from ChatGPT or Claude. Without constantly switching to the backend. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) makes it possible. You write "Create an article about sustainable packaging" and the AI gets to work: text, SEO optimization, tags, publication. Even mass operations such as "Translate all pages into French" are child's play. The project is open source and available on GitHub. A look into the future of content management.
4. TYPO3 v14.1: New look, new features
The second sprint release of TYPO3 v14 brings the Camino theme, backend UI improvements and a QR code module. Particularly practical: You can now define which content elements are allowed in which page areas. Prevents someone from putting a huge slider in the footer. The multilingual page search has also been improved. Feature Freeze is coming on March 31, 2026, after which it will only be tweaked and tested. Perfect time for your own core contributions.
5th TYPO3 Community Budget 2026: These four projects will be funded
32,500 euros have been distributed by the TYPO3 Association. 143 members have voted. The winners: Better IDE support for Fluid, a linter for content blocks, AI-supported search via SEAL and an updated sitepackage tutorial. All projects start on February 1 and must be completed by April 30. As an Association member, you can have a say in these decisions. The next submission deadlines are March 31 and July 31, 2026 - your vote counts.

Hi, I'm Wolfgang.
I have been working with TYPO3 since 2006. Not in theory, but in real projects with real deadlines. I've probably had the problems you're having three times already.
At some point, I started putting my knowledge into video courses. Not because I like being in front of the camera, but because I kept hearing the same questions over and over again. There are now hundreds of videos. Every single one was the result of a specific question from a specific project.
What makes me different from a YouTube tutorial: I not only know the solution, but also the context. Why something works. When it doesn't work. And which mistakes you can avoid because I've already made them.
My participants use me as a sparring partner. Not in the sense of "call me anytime", but like this: You come to the live session with a specific problem, post your question in the community or watch the appropriate video. And get an answer that works because it comes from practical experience.
As a member of the TYPO3 Education & Certification Committee, I make sure that the certification exams are kept up to date. What is tested there flows directly into my courses.
