JFEEDFACTORY-CLASS-001
JFeedFactory
JFeedFactory class name
JFeedFactory is a Joomla 3 global class. Joomla 4 still has an alias. Joomla 5 needs the Behaviour – Backward Compatibility plugin. Native Joomla 6 does not load that alias — you get Class "JFeedFactory" not found.
JFeedFactory → Joomla\CMS\Feed\FeedFactory
What you will see
- Class "JFeedFactory" not found
- Class 'JFeedFactory' not found
- Failed to open stream: JFeedFactory
