Joomla 3.4.0
Easy Blog 3.9.22295

Blog participant logs in. Chooses "Chefs Blogs" main menu item. This item is assigned as a Easy Blog > Categories Layout. The attached screen grab below shows what is returned. Essentially, the entire site template is ignored.

The links seem to be functional. That is, they do display the template as expected with proper content in place.

The menu link works properly when blogger is not logged in.
Hello Gregory,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. It seems like the welcome module that you are using is older version and it was relying on the api from Joomla 2.5. Hence, it was breaking on 3.x. I have fixed the module for you and it works fine now

The reason that you don't see any errors is simply because it was "encapsulated" within another html tag.

Hello Gregory,

Hm, I tried to access your site but I have no idea how to reproduce this. Can you provide us with the exact link to this page? Also, Is it possible for you to provide us with the back end and FTP access to your site to check on this issue?

To replicate issue:

Click on "Chef Blog" in main menu.
You will then see the problem.

Hi Gregory,

I unable to login to your backend. It seems you haven't activate our access yet.

By the way, can you turn on the error reporting to maximum and see what is the error displayed? To do this, please go to backend > System > Global Configuration > Server > Error reporting = Maximum. Also, can you tried change the template to the default Joomla template? Is the issue is still persist?

Please advise.

Error reporting was already set to maximum. No errors are displayed, however. The logged-in user appears to be taken completely out of the Joomla ecosystem. This is not the case, of course, but no vestige of the Joomla site is displayed in the browser when this list of links is displayed. Clicking on any of the links restores the template. This issue is only displayed to a logged-in user who is given blogger permissions.
Alternate template (Protostar) completely breaks the the site and is unusable.
Browser, by the way, is latest Chrome on Win7.
The admin login I provide earlier was good but have re-entered it in Site Details of this reply.
BTW, the instruction to replicate the issue seem to have been cleared from my 2nd post. Perhaps this was done on your end? DO you still need these instructions?
