The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 7.0.2 [K 7.0.2] in stable which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 5.3.x/5.4.x/6.0.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
Please note: The Kunena project team takes NO responsibility for maintaining nor supporting anything in this category.
This update addresses the common issue where browsers (especially Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge) fail to scroll to the specific post anchor (e.g., #2993) upon page load.
🛠 Fixes & Improvements
Disabled Native Scroll Restoration: Switched to history.scrollRestoration = 'manual' to prevent Chromium from interfering with the script-driven positioning.
Inline JavaScript Implementation: The fix is now injected directly into the page header, eliminating the need for external JS files and avoiding cache-related issues.
Post-Load Re-positioning: Added a retry mechanism that monitors page layout shifts for 1.2 seconds after the window.load event. This ensures that even if heavy images or ads load slowly, the browser will snap back to the correct post.
Vanilla JS: Removed jQuery dependency for this specific task to ensure the fastest possible execution.
📦 Installation
Download the plg_system_kunenatopic2articleimgfix.zip file.
Go to your Joomla Admin Panel: System -> Install -> Extensions.
Upload and install the package.
IMPORTANT: If you are installing this plugin for the first time, don't forget to Enable it. Go to System -> Plugins, find "System - Kunenatopic2articleimgfix", and click the status icon to make it active.

2.0.2
- 2026-02-191. Resolved a conflict between the component and the "Latest Articles" module
Fixed a conflict between the component and the "Latest Articles" module that could occur during article previews. As a result, users must now be logged into the site's frontend (in addition to the administrator panel) to view previews. If not logged in, the Preview button will trigger a helpful tooltip instead of opening the preview.
Relevant information has been added to the documentation.
