JCE Editor
2.9.98
27 January 2026
Added
The Image Manager Basic Dialog now includes an Upload button in the URL text box if the Allow Upload parameter is enabled in the Image Manager parameters.
It is now possible to hide the Classes list in Image Manager dialogs (including the Basic Dialog) by setting the Show Classes List parameter to No.
Changed
If a File Directory Path has only a single path item defined and a Label is set for that item, the label will now replace the default “Home” label in the folder tree of the Image Manager, File Browser, and related dialogs.
The Prohibited Elements, Prohibited Attributes, and Prohibited Attribute Values options now use a repeatable text field, allowing each entry to be defined individually instead of as a single comma-separated list. Existing comma-separated values are still supported for backwards compatibility.
Fixed
PRO Fixed an issue where saving content in the Code Editor that contained PHP code would result in the PHP being HTML-encoded.
PRO Inserting Template Manager containing <style> tags no longer removes the <style> tags.
Updated the Mobile Detect library to fix deprecated warnings and errors.
Improved handling of custom query variables to ensure compatibility with Joomla 6 and prevent errors caused by certain request parameter combinations.
Content inside <iframe> elements was being stripped. This content is now retained only when Sanitize HTML is set to No, as DOMPurify applies stricter iframe sanitization.
<script> tags inside <pre> elements were being removed and are now preserved.
Empty paragraphs were not fully removed when pasting content from Word / Office documents.
Improved detection of content from Office-type applications, including LibreOffice, OpenOffice, Microsoft Word / Excel, macOS Pages, Google Docs, and Proton Docs.
Directory Filters set in Editor Profiles -> Editor Parameters -> Filesystem were not being applied.
Images inside non-editable containers were still selectable.
Pressing Enter with the caret adjacent to a non-editable container had no effect.
Fixed an issue where copying content from an article and then pasting content from an external source (such as Word) would paste the article content instead of the external content.
An issue where Prohibited Attributes and attributes matching Prohibited Attribute Values were not always fully removed from a node, resulting in some attributes only being removed on subsequent cleanup passes.
