Categories broken?

Hi - I am finding EasyBlog both fantastic and a bit frustrating.
This is a new site. I'm using EasyBlog on the main page for users who will want to create content.
The categories are still being built but initially when I used the module to display categories (see the sidebar) and clicked on the link (i.e. 5 Word Reviews) the home page would cycle and all content would be displayed. Nothing specific to the category would show. This happened no matter what category I clicked on (again, on the sidebar.)
I was going to write you about this but I decided to try one last thing and updated Joomla to 3.4.3 this morning. Now, after updating I'm getting a 404 error page when clicking on the category link. For example: http://ocmao.wwwsr12.supercp.com/migration/index.php/105-word-reviews gives me a 404 page.

site: http://ocmao.wwwsr12.supercp.com/migration/

Please help.

Hi Mark,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply.

I've checked your site and it seems like you have disabled easyblog frontpage menu item from your site hence easyblog are not able to find the root menu item that it should as default routing behavior. I've added easyblog frontpage menu item inside hidden menu type and change your easyblog SEO setting to use "default" as routing behavior and everything is working correctly now.

Hope these help.

Hi Mark,

You can temporarily refer to the forum post here for the fix, http://stackideas.com/forums/404-error-in-subcategory-links .

Thank you for your prompt reply!

1) router.php was already in the folder. I renamed and uploaded the new one - same result.
2) this is not just on subcategories - it's all categories.
3) In general, there is something wrong with that module because it would not follow the formatting I set. In other words, the # of posts was showing (even though shut off) and the change to a different format would not take and then it did...lots of inconsistencies.

My frustration continues.

Please advise.

Mark

In addition, the category ticker isn't working. I think because the categories are not working properly.

Hi Mark,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply.

I can't seems to replicate the issue in my local instance. Can you provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can check it directly on your site?

Yes I have checked your site and I can replicate the error 404 behavior on your site. However I cannot replicate it in my local instance. By the way it seems like the provided credentials is not working for me. Refer my screenshot, http://screencast.com/t/sus7cNhQZj . Please advise.

I have provided new credentials and have copied them directly from here to the website so there is no chance they won't work.

Hey Mark,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as we are a little shorthanded this week. Is it possible that you provide us with the FTP access to the site so that we can look into this issue?

I am happy to open up FTP if you can explain why you need it.

Honestly, I do like EasyBlog but there are so many bugs.
