If you've searched for information about OpenID Connect (OIDC) Single Logout (SLO) in Liferay, you've probably come across answers stating that it isn't supported. That answer was accurate for a long time, and it still occasionally appears in support discussions today. Beginning with Liferay DXP 2026.Q1, however, that answer is no longer correct. Liferay now supports the OpenID...

Why This Matters When you update Blade CLI and create a new Liferay Workspace, the generated workspace normally uses the latest Liferay Workspace Gradle plugin. That plugin selects versions for a number of supporting build tools, including the Service Builder plugin. For new projects targeting the latest Liferay release, this is usually what you want. The detail worth paying...

Liferay’s official Tomcat installation guide is a useful starting point, but it is not quite enough for installing Liferay DXP 2026.Q1 on Red Hat JBoss Web Server 6.2.3. The reason is straightforward: JBoss Web Server is Tomcat, but it is Red Hat’s supported Tomcat distribution, and the current Liferay documentation contains a few assumptions that do not line up cleanly with a modern...

I've recently been working on a project to create a Chatbot using AI Hub. Although the documentation at https://learn.liferay.com/w/ai-hub/integrating-ai-hub-with-liferay-dxp is very helpful at completing this task, there are some things that it leaves out. I thought these might be helpful to others, so I thought I'd share them here. 1. The building blocks (quick orientation) When...

A Problem Every Liferay Developer Has Faced If you have worked on a Liferay DXP project with more than a few custom modules, this scene will feel familiar. You deploy all your modules together. Most of them start up without any trouble. But a few fail, and when you open the logs, you find a bundle that stopped right after it started. The reason is almost always the same. One...

Introduction One of the biggest strengths of Liferay DXP is its Headless API ecosystem. Whether we're working with Custom Objects, Web Content, Documents, Commerce, or custom REST Builder APIs, Liferay provides well-designed REST endpoints that are easy to integrate with modern frontend applications. For simple data retrieval, the existing APIs work extremely well. For example: ...

A Simple Question A customer recently reached out after experiencing a six-hour outage of their mail server. The outage had nothing to do with Liferay. The platform was healthy. Their application was healthy. Business processes continued to run normally. The problem was that some of those business processes generated emails. Not marketing emails. Not newsletters. ...

Many organizations use centralized logging platforms such as Splunk to aggregate logs from applications, infrastructure, containers, and cloud services. Centralized logging makes it easier to troubleshoot issues, identify trends, create alerts, and correlate events across multiple systems. A common question I hear is: How do I configure Liferay DXP to send logs directly to Splunk? ...

If you have ever run a Liferay database upgrade, you know how unforgiving the setup used to be. One wrong path in a properties file, or a database your edition doesn't even support, and you could be several minutes into a run before a cryptic error appeared, usually with no hint about what actually went wrong. We went back through the most common support cases and customer frustrations, and...

When I started working through the new DXP Free Tier onboarding flow for an upcoming blog post, I stumbled across something that initially looked wrong. After generating my free activation key, I downloaded the activation key file named: activation-key-dxp-production-2026.q2-.xml  At the time, 2026.Q2 had not even been released yet. Naturally, that raised some questions. ...

I had a simple idea. As a Manufacturer, Company manages a network of distributors across the world different regions, different tiers, different sales numbers. Anyone on the team wanting to know "who's our top performer in Asia Pacific?" or "which distributors missed their quota last year?" had to dig through spreadsheets or ask someone who knew. I thought: what if...

For the last couple of years, most AI conversations around enterprise platforms have focused on content generation, chatbots, summaries, and assistants. Useful? Absolutely. But those use cases still largely leave the actual construction of digital experiences in human hands. That’s starting to change. I recently got an early look at a new capability being developed around...

The Challenge: The "Human Bottleneck" In any thriving digital community, content moderation is a double-edged sword. You want vibrant discussions, but you also need to protect users from spam, toxicity, and "bad vibes." Traditionally, this meant a human moderator had to manually review every single comment a process that is slow, expensive, and frankly, exhausting. ...

Earlier this month, on April 11th, I was lucky enough to travel to Ahmedabad, India, to attend the re-booting of the Liferay User Group in that city, and to co-host the inaugural Liferay Marketplace Fragment Hackathon. Before I start on the results, a couple of big "Thank You's" are needed. First, to Bhavin Panchani, and his team, at IGNEK, a proud partner of Liferay in Ahmedabad,...

Hey everyone, We have a temporary issue, that's currently being investigated by our support team, that is impacting the following pages: Blogs Known Vulnerabilities These Search pages are configured to "Allow Empty Searches" and should therefore display results when you first visit the page, allowing you to filter, sort, etc. The issue is that this is currently not...

Why we built preupgrade verifiers If you have ever run a Liferay upgrade on a large database, you know the worst-case scenario: the upgrade starts, runs for a long time, modifies a large amount of data, and then fails somewhere in the middle because of a misconfiguration that was already there before you pressed Start. At that point, you are not just fixing the original issue — you are...

Introducing create-liferay-react-cx create-liferay-react-cx is an npm package that helps you quickly create a ready-to-use React Client Extension for Liferay. Run this command to get started: npx create-liferay-react-cx or npm create liferay-react-cx Why This Tool? While working with Liferay, I noticed that setting up a React Client Extension repeatedly...

If you’ve been following Liferay for the last few years, you should have noticed the continuing and increasing focus on low-code and no-code capabilities in the platform. Features like Objects, Fragments, and Client Extensions aren’t just side tools anymore, they’re becoming a core part of how solutions are built on the platform. They’re faster. They reduce complexity. And in many cases,...

You might have seen the 2026.Q1.0 breaking changes documentation or even the MAINTENANCE labels in the UI when using 2026.Q1.0 and navigating through Asset Libraries, Web Content, or Documents and Media and wondered what this actually means. Does it mean you have to migrate?   Is there a migration path defined?   Is your platform going to stop working?   What should you do now? ...

In Marco Leo's most recent blog - One Platform, One Liferay: The 2026 Release Model - we announced that in 2026 instead of releasing separate products for non-subscribers (Liferay Portal CE) and subscribers (Liferay DXP) we've moved to a single unified, modular platform, available for everyone. If you're a Subscriber, there's no change in how you obtain and activate Liferay DXP, but for...
