New releases, new themes, and a little bit of the impossible.
Hello from the FXRM team! It's been a busy few months in the workshop, and this issue is all about Blesta 6: the version 2 releases of Xero Sync and the Zimbra Module, both built specifically for Blesta 6, plus two brand-new admin themes for Blesta v6 — including one that does something Blesta has never done before.
🔄 Xero Sync for Blesta — Version 2, Built for Blesta 6
Xero Sync version 2 is here, built specifically for Blesta 6, and it continues to do what it does best: bridge the gap between your billing and your books. Contacts, invoices, and payments flow from Blesta into Xero in real time — no manual triggers, no CSV exports, no end-of-month reconciliation marathon.
Highlights:
- Real-time synchronisation — changes in Blesta are instantly reflected in Xero
- Invoice mirroring — every Blesta invoice recreated in Xero with matching line items, tax rates, and totals
- Payment reconciliation — payments recorded in Blesta are automatically applied to the corresponding Xero invoices
- Contact sync — clients added or updated in Blesta appear in Xero automatically
- Flexible configuration — map Blesta tax rates to Xero tax types and set your own account codes
- Detailed logging — a full audit trail of every sync, for troubleshooting and compliance
Xero Sync is £149/year, including 12 months of updates and priority email support. Version 2 requires Blesta 6; existing licence holders can grab it now from their client area at accounts.fxrm.com.

📧 Zimbra Module for Blesta — Version 2, Built for Blesta 6
Version 2 of the Zimbra Module — built specifically for Blesta 6 — makes selling email hosting even smoother. Mailboxes are provisioned the moment payment lands, overdue accounts suspend (and reactivate) themselves, and your clients get genuine self-service — mailbox management, password resets, aliases, and usage stats, all from the Blesta client area.
What's in the box:
- Instant provisioning — mailboxes created automatically on payment, zero manual intervention
- Automatic suspension & reactivation tied to invoice status
- Client self-service — mailboxes, passwords, aliases, and distribution lists managed from the client area
- Quota management — per-mailbox or per-domain, with real-time usage statistics
- Multi-server support — manage unlimited Zimbra servers from a single Blesta installation
- Bulk operations and detailed logging for admins who like to move fast and keep receipts
Pricing starts from £49.99/month, with priority support and unlimited Zimbra servers included. Version 2 requires Blesta 6. There's also a full configuration guide in our knowledge base to get you from zero to provisioned.

🎨 New: Two Free Admin Themes for Blesta v6
Blesta 6 shipped with Paradigm — a genuinely lovely admin theme and a huge visual leap forward. Honestly, we didn't think it could get much better.
Then we tried anyway. Introducing Vanilla and Vanilla Horizontal — two free admin themes built on Paradigm's modern foundation, polished and streamlined for people who live in their admin panel all day.
Vanilla
Everything you already love about Paradigm, with a lighter touch: a narrower sidebar that hands the space back to your tables and dashboards, fly-out menus that reach any nested page in a single hover, tooltips throughout, calmer spacing, and one consistent icon set across the whole panel.
Vanilla Horizontal
Nobody thought you could improve on perfection — but we've gone and done the impossible: we've added a horizontal menu where none existed. Vanilla Horizontal takes all of Vanilla's refinements and moves navigation into a sleek top menu bar, so every screen gets the full width of your browser. On a 13″–14″ laptop, it's transformative.

The best part? They're free.
Both themes are completely free, with no feature restrictions, free updates as new Blesta releases ship, and unlimited installations. They're admin-side only (your client portal is untouched) and install through Blesta's standard theme settings — no code changes, no file permissions to fight. All you need is Blesta 6.0 or higher.
