Last but not least ...

It is always not recommended to install a beta release on a production site. It is entirely up to you but we strongly recommend that you install the beta release only on a staging site for testing purposes. This way, when anything goes wrong, it wouldn't be affected on your production site.

Also, we appreciate your assistance with the hunting down of bugs in our beta release. Please do not forget to submit your tickets in the correct category especially for EasyBlog 5.3 issue tracker :) 

That would allow our developers to address the raised issues more efficiently. Happy testing folks! :)
