I have a Joomla 3.6 site running on a windows server with apache 2.4.4, php 5.4.12, mysql 5.6.12 and the ttfb is approx 5s.  When loading the page resources on the server do not appear to be heavily loaded.  I converted the front page into html and it load instantaneously so I believe the issue must be with php or mysql config.  
Is there anything you can suggest that I check to improve the load time.

HI, I am running a Joomla 1.0 site, still because I have too many custom programmed pages and I am in the middle of moving to a newer platform (but it will take me a long while). Meanwhile, my old but still active site lost it's recaptha V1 functionality as they discontinued it as of March 31. Could anyone help me update the old recaptcha files so that they still work for recaptcha V2? V2 details: https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/display
My non working registration page: http://goswap.org/index.php?option=com_recaptcha&task=register&Itemid=62 (all other aspects of the site still work)

com_recaptcha files attached for Joomla 1.0 that are installed
thanks

Hello!
I use Joomla 3.8.6 and I was trying to upgrade Virtuemart to its the most recent version. I couldn't complete an upgrade unless I switched MySQL to MySQLi type of db in Joomla's "Global Configuration". Now everything seems to be working fine with both Joomla and VM. Still, I wonder what was it and is it Okay Joomla-wise to switch to MySQLi from MySQL just like that?

I use the google maps plugin in a Joomla article since 3 years
It worked fine
Now you get this message when the special tag displays the map (the map just flashes for a second then the error comes) :
Google Maps ne s'est pas chargé correctement sur cette page. Pour plus d'informations techniques sur cette erreur, veuillez consulter la console JavaScript. (site www.cbwsl.be => Accès)
Error is : "Google Maps ne s'est pas chargé correctement sur cette page. Pour plus d'informations techniques sur cette erreur, veuillez consulter la console JavaScript."
Where can I find that Joomla console Javascript to guess what is now happening ?
Thanks

Can you insert a module in another module?  I was requested to insert a PayPal donation option (which is a module) in the top banner of our website.  Is that possible?  I don't see a way to get that to work.  Can the PayPal donation function be set up as something other than a module so it would work?  Thanks.

I'm looking to understand the Joomla account activation string. It ends with 'menuid' and 'Itemid' numbers. But I've played with these, and they don't seem to do anything. I was hoping that changing these would enable me to land the activating user on whatever page I wanted, but this doesn't seem to be the case.

Here's an example:

https://site.com/component/users/?task=registration.activate&token=d0f0b518c5597e26c4bba17cf5fce984&menuid=319&Itemid=256

What is the purpose of the 'menuid' and 'Itemid' numbers in the Joomla activation link query string?

Thanks,
Jonathan

I have a component called com_product that I developed. For the most part, its working properly.

I am having an issue when I add a category to the component.

I can get here:
Components -> Products -> Categories -> New

Then, I enter the data, hit any button, but the 'Cancel' button and I get this error:

When I hit the back button, I can then hit the Cancel button and it takes me to the category listing page.

Anyone know what I'm missing within my code to get this working properly?

Here's my product.php file that sits here: /administrator/com_product/product.php

Hello  

My saturday seems to be filled with htaccess issues :)  BTW this is a different site than my earlier question today.

I have a client who needs to have a few generic php and html files in the root of the server.  The existing Htaccess file apparently is disallowing files to be in the root -- which gives a 404 errors -- even though the physical files exist in the root (/public_html)

The files mainly have htm and php extensions, but there may be jpg, gifs and perhaps swf extensioins.

It''s a Joomla site, and I'm thinking it might be a security feature.  (His old joomla site let him have these kinds of files in the root.  But I guess Joomla hyped up the security and is not letting them be viewed by the public.

Please look at the htaccess file and let me know if indeed there is a rule prohibiting this, and how I can eliminate that rule.  BTW there is nothing in the code that will identify the actual site.....)

We lost an employee to an illness and surgery for several weeks.  A Joomla backup file had been copied out to a new site space and Kickstart as well.  I am a SQL programmer, I do back end stuff.  I don't do anything with Joomla or setting up new sites in CPanel.  The site doesn't display in the browser with the IP address.  I found some great articles out there, but the instructions I've read are to open the kickstart.php file and then I'll be able to restore the .jpa file.  I can't even open the page in the browser, message is file not found.  I'm really stuck here and I'm hoping somebody can help me figure this out.  I'm sure it's not that complicated but I'm missing something.  Thank you in advance for your patience!
