Hi.
I just updated joomla and easysocial to the latest versions yesterday.
After updating easysocial I can no longer log in to my frontend or backend.
The login pages will simply reload and show no error.
Please advise. I am completely locked out of my website now.
Hey camron,

EasySocial never handles the user logins but instead Joomla is handling it. I am not really sure why it isn't allowing you to login but I am suspecting that something else was updated / changed? I did noticed that jfusion is installed and not sure if this is causing the logins to fail?

Can you provide us with the phpmyadmin access for the site?

I am adding whm details with this post you can use this to gain access to phpmyadmin.
You are welcome to uninstall jfusion, but it has been installed for quite a long time and was not a problem so far.
Like I said. I had no problem with login until I updated easysocial.

I think I fixed the problem. I will need to test further but for now it looks ok.

I had the same problem, but fixed it by removing the entry for the cookie_domain in the config file.

Example:

public $cookie_domain = 'mydomainDomain';
public $cookie_path = '/';

and making it like this

public $cookie_domain = '';
public $cookie_path = '';

Is this bug caused by easysocial script?

Hey camron,

I am really sorry that delay of this reply,

Thanks for getting back to us your issue resolved.

Hmm, not really because Easysocial script will not see what cookie domain you set from configuration.php file.

By the way, it would be safe if you leave this information empty is because Joomla will use an empty value and the cookie will be valid for your current domain.
