Hi -

After upgrading to EasyBlog 5.0.16, I am no longer able to change the Author of the post. Instead, I just get the spinning icon indefinitely (see screen-shot). I've tried repairing the database and doing other maintenance tasks, but nothing seems to fix it. I'm using Community Builder for user registrations.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bill
Hey Bill,

I have been checking your site and it seems like every registered user on the site is allowed to write and publish blog posts. Is that your intention? The script actually timed out because there are too many authors (It also seems like we need to add a pagination here).

If this is your default setup, I would strongly urge you to read our latest post here, http://stackideas.com/blog/update-your-easyblog-acl

Hey Bill,

I just tested this locally on 5.0.16 and it worked fine. Is it possible for you to provide us with the back end and FTP access to your site to check on this issue?

Hi Bill,

I am sorry for the delayed reply.

I have inspected your site and it seems to hit this error:
Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded

I have tried to login to your backend, and I'm hitting this: http://screencast.com/t/qMV8sRFl . I have tried login using the provided credentials, however, it do not work.

Can you try increase max_execution_time = 300 and see how it goes. Hope this helps.
Please advise.

Hi -

I increased the timeout to 100 (didn't want to go much beyond that). But still having the problem.

<<I have tried login using the provided credentials, however, it do not work.>>
Sorry about that - for the extra initial login prompt, I've provided the credentials.

Hi Bill,

We are able to access your administrator login page but it seems like the credentials to access the backend is not correct as you can see from my screenshot here, http://screencast.com/t/EFBK8l0WUrb . Please advise.

Hi -

I have updated the administrator login and have put it in Site Details. I just tested and was able to login. Please try again.

Thanks.

Hi -

Your ACL post helped resolve the problem - thanks. It looks like the behavior changed in the current version, since this did not happen before.

But thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

You are most welcome Bill, glad that your issues are resolved now But setting the ACL is just solving part of the problems. If one site really has thousands of legit authors, it'll hit the same issues

I will be adding a fix for this in the next release.
