The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 7.0.9 [K 7.0.9] in stable which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 5.4.x/6.0.x./6.1.x. This version addresses most of the issues that were discovered in K 6.2 / K 6.3 / K 6.4 and issues discovered during the last development stages of K 7.0

Topics must relate to a currently supported version of Kunena. If you are unsure what is the current supported version of Kunena, please go to the download page.

If you are having problems then, for your own benefit, it would save us all a lot of time if you would kindly post your configuration report when you ask for help from this forum. If you do not post your configuration report we will not ask you for it but you will probably not get your problem solved, either.

Question captcha not working after last upgrade to 7.0.9

captcha not working after last upgrade to 7.0.9 was created by ita4012

Hi.
After last kunena upgrade to 7.0.9 version, captcha to check if the user is a robot doesn't work anymore in my website.
If I enable it in Kunenca configuration (I have always set it in order to check the user until he has posted three messages), the registered user can't write a new post. That is, when he clicks on submit to post the message, after having flagged the captcha field, nothing more happens, and the new message remains not sent.

Any tips?

Thanks

Hi @ita4012,
I believe this issue will be fixed in the next version of Kunena. However, please follow the steps below to ensure your website functions exactly as you want it to.

- Step 1: Back up the file TopicController.php in the "[root]/components/com_kunena/src/Controllers/" path.

- Step 2: Open the TopicController.php file and go to about line: 734

- Step 3: Replace below line:

Code:

if (!$captcha->checkAnswer(\null)) {

Code:

if (!$captcha->checkAnswer($app->getInput()->post->getString('captcha', ''))) {

Save and try to post.

Note: This is merely a temporary solution to get your website up and running again. I do not recommend modifying the Kunena core.

Kind regards,
