Use the QCFUM Status Tab to Check Installation Health

The QCFUM Status tab is the fastest place to verify whether version, entitlement, Scheduled Tasks, installation identity, feature access, and Joomla package updates agree with one another. Use it before changing workflow data when QCFUM suddenly appears to have lost features or stopped automating work.

Open Status

  1. Go to Components > QC Frontend User Manager.
  2. Open Status.
  3. Read any warning shown above the cards before changing settings.

Entitlement Automation Integrity

This card verifies the Scheduled Tasks plugin, canonical Entitlement Revalidation task, publication count, cadence, and execution state. Paid or Preview entitlement above Basic depends on a healthy structure. If the task is repairable, a Super User can use Repair Entitlement Task; missing plugin files require reinstalling the current package.

Scheduled Automation

Status separately reports QCFUM’s operational Scheduled Automation task. This is not the entitlement task. Scheduled Automation handles time-based QCFUM work such as temporary-access enforcement, invitation nudges, stale-invite handling, queued-email retry, approval reminders, and configured cleanup when those capabilities/settings apply.

Current Entitlement

Review these fields together:

  • Status — the current entitlement state/message.
  • Base tier — the underlying entitlement, including “Max via All Access” where applicable.
  • Effective tier — what QCFUM can currently execute.
  • Verification — Authorized Domain, Authorized Domain + All Access, 30-Day Max Preview, Legacy License Key, or Basic.
  • Domain and Access until.
  • Max Preview ends when a Preview is active.
  • Last checked and Next automatic check.

Use Refresh Entitlement to resolve access now and Manage Authorized Domains when the registered domain is the issue.

Installation and Tier Feature Snapshot

The Installation card shows product code, installed version, domain, and the installation UUID. The Tier Feature Snapshot shows the current QCFUM allowance/capability view—for example created-user and destination-group limits, Profiles, Invite Packs, CSV Import, approvals, Scheduled Automation, HTML email, Join Codes, Frontend User Manager, Bulk Actions, and Custom CSS.

The snapshot also states the downgrade rule: premium data is preserved while premium execution is locked.

Extension Update

The update card shows installed version, available version if discovered, update-site state, and last check time. Check for Updates runs Joomla update discovery. Installing a discovered update requires Joomla Extension Manager permission.

A Useful Diagnostic Order

  1. Confirm installed Version and Installation identity.
  2. Resolve Entitlement Automation Integrity warnings.
  3. Compare Base and Effective tier.
  4. Check Scheduled Automation if time-based work is stalled.
  5. Use the Tier Feature Snapshot to confirm whether the feature should be available.
  6. Check for a newer package and perform a frontend smoke test after any update or repair.
