Find it. Fix it. Future-proof it.
What RCA Does
Inspect
Verify the bug, read the runtime evidence, and find the real failing line — not the symptom.
-
STATUS: INSPECTED
Isolate
Narrow it to one cause, one file path, and one change surface before any rewrite starts.
-
STATUS: ISOLATED
Refactor
Replace broken code with clean Joomla-compliant code that retains expected behavior.
-
STATUS: REFACTORED
Verify
Confirm the fix works, nothing else broke, and the patched path still holds after refresh.

STATUS: VERIFIED
RCA Compatibility Plugins
One plugin per upstream component. Enable only the fixes your site needs.
EasySocial Compat
RCA EasySocial Compat keeps EasySocial 4.0.x usable on Joomla 4, 5, and 6. It patches known break points on install, keeps one activity stream row per Joomla article instead of a flood of edits, upgrades the emoji picker with search, and optionally lets members paste clipboard images into the story composer.
SPPB Compat
RCA SPPB Compat is the free Bugfix host for SP Page Builder on Joomla 4, 5, and 6. One plugin covers Media Manager patches, the Save toolbar after the SPPB editor, safer Options field loading, careful license update sync, and optional diagnostics.
Helix Compat
RCA Helix Compat is the free Bugfix host for Helix Ultimate and Helix3 on Joomla 4, 5, and 6. One system plugin covers Helix blog formats on Feed Factory import and Helix↔core featured image sync.
OSCampus Compat
RCA OSCampus Compat is a free Bugfix for OSCampus on Joomla 4, 5, and 6. It patches one OSCampus PHP file on disk so PHP 8 trait property rules do not fatal when you create or edit lessons. This product is distributed from ReCreatingAnew outside the Joomla Extensions Directory because it changes another vendor’s code.

Issues We Fix
Old JFactory, JRequest, JHtml, behavior.*, JPATH_COMPONENT shims, string SQL, and helper include paths. We replace them with current Joomla APIs so the extension keeps running instead of dying on the next core update.
