Question Cannot create new topic - Fatal Error: Class 'KunenaSpamRecaptcha' not found

I noticed that the Kunena documentation references the reCaptcha settings and shows the image with the public key, etc:, but I have no options for those.

From the documentation: (IGNORE THE RED BOX, that is from the documentation and does not apply to this example)


My setting options:

Is my control panel missing some code?

... and shows the image with the public key, etc:, but I have no options for those.

This option was still displayed with older Kunena 4.0 and is complete removed in Kunena 5.0. I've changed the image now.

Update: The fatal error appears when a "new topic" or "create reply" is attempted, but not when the "quick reply" button is selected.

Still open to suggestions on this Fatal Error, we are still receiving it.

Thank you!

You use Joomla Key Captcha on your page. Maybe there is a conflict? If the reCaptcha plugin is enabled, then disable this plugin and change the setting in Kunena (tab security) to:
Display Captcha for : = Guest Users and Registered Users
CAPTCHA Challenge for Users = 0

Then empty the cache and try it again.

Thanks. I did as you suggested but still see the error.

Hello,

I have still made no progress on this error. What can I be checking for? I've been through every extension / module and we still have the 500 server error. I've checked permissions, updates, and everything I can think of. Really appreciate any thoughts.

Thanks!
