Hey guys,

We are trying to identify a small teething bug for some users who upgraded from EasyBlog 3.9 to 5.x where it generates a number of duplicate ACL records for EasyBlog.

If you are still on 3.9 and haven't upgraded to 5.x yet, we would love to perform the upgrade for you and we want to actually find the root cause of the problems.

Please do start a new thread on the "EasyBlog > Installation" category for us to look into this.

Thanks! Appreciate your assistance on this.
Too bad, I saw this thread after upgrading.
However, the only 'issue' I faced, was some ACL permissions changed. Like, earlier I allowed 'public' to comment, however after update the commenting for 'public' usergroup was turned off. Is this the issue you are pointing at?
Is there something else I need to worry about?

Hey there,

Nope, there is nothing else to be worried about. We just need to find out why it is generating duplicate records

Hi I have a blog on a Joomla 3.4.5 site running an older version 3.9.22295 of EasyBlog.

Or if i upgrade, do i have to reset everything again?

Hey Jeremy,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply, we might have missed your post earlier. EasyBlog 5 has a different look and feel altogether and I would strongly suggest that you play around with our demo at http://easyblog.stackideas.com to see what it would look like for you

If you need assistance with the upgrades, please feel free to post a new thread on our forums!

We just upgraded to 5.x so too late. We are still testing though the changes from 3.9 to 5.0. One thing we have seen and we can't explain is that we have some blogs that can be read only when you are logged in so not public. We have a link on our homepage to go to several of these blogs. Before the upgrade, the user had a page saying he/she needed to be logged in to see the blog but now after the upgrade, the page displayed is the 400 message ( You are not authorized to view this blog entry.)

We must be missing something in the settings somewhere but we didn't see anything related to this.

Do you know where it can come from and how to resolve this?

We had to put the blogs public to avoid the problem so it is not ideal but better than a dead end like the 400 message.

Maybe we should open a ticket for that.

Hi,

For me I fixed it using the following instruction.
http://stackideas.com/forums/upgrade-to-5-fails-stuck-on-45#reply-216613

After running the query to add extra columns
Then I clear ACL records.
Then run installation with console open and error reporting at max.
Found out there was a missing column in the post table (i think it was "access" - cannot remember sorry)
Add that extra missing column.
Re-run installation and seems to be working.
