# Breaking: #77558 - PageLayoutController removed methods

See [forge#77558](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/77558)

## Description

The following methods have been removed from `PageLayoutController` without substitution:

-   `exec_languageQuery()`
-   `isColumnEmpty()`
-   `getElementsFromColumnAndLanguage()`

All of those methods were internally used within the Page module, the risk that an extension using them is low.

## Impact

The methods executed page module specific queries. Extensions calling the method will throw a fatal error.

## Affected Installations

Extensions calling one of the aforementioned methods.

## Migration

Move away from those methods.
