Changelog

1.0.4 on the 18th of May 2026

Fixed a fatal error on Joomla 6 that could break every page of the site (the plugin still relied on classes removed in recent Joomla versions). The plugin now works on Joomla 6.
The hCaptcha is now correctly displayed on the native Joomla registration page on recent Joomla versions. The new password field layout (with the show / hide password button) was pushing the captcha insertion point out of range, so until now the captcha appeared during the HikaShop checkout but not on the Joomla registration page.

1.0.3 on the 21th of November 2025
