Hello,

I had the same problem in the log
'Call to undefined method Swift_Mailer::newInstance()'

I solved the problem in the following way:

• edit in /src/phpMyFaq/Mail/SwiftSMTP.php

1. In the setAuthConfig function replace

   $this->mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance(
Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance($server, $port, $security)
->setUsername($this->user = $user)
->setPassword($pass)
);

by:

$transport = new  Swift_SmtpTransport($server, $port, $security);
$transport->setUsername($this->user = $user);
$transport->setPassword($pass);
$this->mailer = new Swift_Mailer($transport);

2. In the send function replace

$message = newSwift_Message::newInstance($headers['Subject'])->setFrom( [empty($sender) ? $this->user : $sender] )->setTo($recipients)->setBody($body);

by:

$message = new Swift_Message($headers['Subject']);
$message->setFrom([empty($sender) ? $this->user : $sender]);
$message->setTo($recipients)->setBody($body);

For me that solved the problem.

Thorsen was there another way to solve the problem?

Thanks for this app.

Cordially.

@yann2-0 see the referenced commit above, this is the correct way. phpMyFAQ 3.1.2 will be released soon to address this issue.
