Error: 0 - Class 'PHPMailer' not found

ChronoForms v5 ChronoForms v6 ChronoForms v7

I have an odd issue with ReCaptcha v2 and Chronoforms v5 with my Joomla 3.9.19 site - the Captcha passes and the form action (email) is successful, but Chronoforms displays the custom ReCaptcha failed message.
​
I tried upgrading Chronoforms to v7, but this just throws out a server 500 error on submit. So decided to Give v6 a go...
​
Now I get a this error: Error: 0 - Class 'PHPMailer' not found. If I downgrade my PHP to 7.2 I get a Server 500 error. Even if it had worked, downgrading PHP to 7.2 is not really a viable option.
​
(I have not tried v7 with PHP 7.2)
​
I have checked the permissions for PHPMailer in these locations:
/usr/www/users/xxxxx/includes/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php
/usr/www/users/xxxxx/libraries/cegcore/vendors/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php
Both are set to 0644

Would anyone be able to give me a few pointers?
​
Thanks!

Please use v7, then set the "Error reporting" to maximum in the Joomla global config, what do you get when you submit the form ?
​
Also what actions does your form have ?

Did you try ChronoMyAdmin for managing your Joomla database tables ?

Hi Max,
​
Thanks for relying.

Looks like it was a wild goose chase - I downloaded a new version of Joomla 3.9.19 and uploaded the class.phpmailer.php file over the copy on my server and all seems well now. :shrugs:
​
Thanks for the help.
