Question Kunena asks for CAPTCHA to regular users

Hello

It seems last update I did to my forum activate or break something in the code or function.

Now, for all regular/registered users in my web site, kunena asks them for a captcha code



This does not happens to a SuperUser or Administrator user

Here is my kunnena report configuration:

Database collation check: The collation of your table fields are correct

G'day, juannicolas, and welcome to Kunena.

See my reply on a similar question about CAPTCHA in Users get CAPTCHA even when turned off .

In your case you have the following configuration setting:

Forum Configuration » Security » Security Settings » Moderate New Users = 5

This means that, for the first 5 posts from new users registered on your site, they will have to respond to the CAPTCHA challenge. After they have posted 5 messages they will not get the CAPTCHA challenge.

Super users - administrators and moderators - are never asked to respond to the CAPTCHA challenge.

K 3.0.2 is out of date. Please update to K 3.0.4 immediately. You should also update Joomla (J! 2.5.14 has problems with CAPTCHA); those problems are fixed in J! 2.4.17.

You should also use the Blue Eagle template that is distributed with K 3.0.4; the Blue Eagle template you are using has problems with K 3.0

I hope this helps.

Thank you sozzled,

I changed the Moderate New Users to 0 and now the Enter Code Here is gone and the regular/registered user is able to post.

So, how could I be able to approve the posts then?

btw, I haven't update to the lates kunena version is because I use tapatalk plugin and if I update kunena without the plugin, 60% of my users via mobile, will not be able to use the forum until they update the plugin to the latest kunena version

Good. That means this question has been answered and I am marking this topic resolved.

Your other questions have been asked before and answered in other topics on this forum. If you cannot find the answers, please start a new topic for each question.

According to the Kunena Features page, Tapatalk is supposed to work with K 3.0. If you have questions about using Tapatalk with K 3.0.4 then you should ask the Tapatalk developers. If your users need to update their plugin that's not our problem. If you have problems with K 3.0.4 because of Tapatalk, perhaps you should consider something else instead? The K 3.0.4 Blue Eagle template was designed to be used with responsive (i.e. mobile-ready) templates without the need for 3rd-party extentions. Perhaps that is an idea you might like to consider.

You can, if you like, set your categories to Review Posts = Yes and then you can approve messages posted in those categories. Maybe that is an idea you can use.

This discussion can now be closed. Your other questions have nothing to do with this topic.
