Attempting to publish blog results in a spinning icon and not publishing

I am unable to create a new blog. Once all information is added to the blog, clicking the publish or save as draft link results in a spinning icon that never goes away. I have recently upgraded easy blog. I first attempted to update through the site. Got an error so I downloaded the patch version from your site. I then installed via the install feature through Joomla. Everything installed correctly. I logged out and cleared cache. Once I was back in and tried same steps again I got the same result.

Any ideas? I checked your forum and they were suggesting some memory issues and execution rates updated. Not sure if my host will allow me to update that. I was running on php 7.0. I then just updated to 7.1 hoping that was the issue but no dice.

Thanks for any assistance


UPDATE: Just added FTP and backend acess to site...
