I am still working on my development site: dev.soulspring.org. I was not able to update via the system updater, per your suggestion because of this being a dev. site. So, I upgraded the component manually. It all seemed to take perfectly and I was able to upload the php file you provided in my previous ticket. Now, however, when I go into and try and create a new author, the form page does not open. It cycles back to the the dashboard.
Now it seems there are many bugs... When I go to posts, the post button is unresponsive on the left side in the dashboard. I can click the + and get to a new post, but I am unable to click on the post button and see all of my posts. Share button doesn't appear under the blogs. I can no longer rate a blog from the front end. Also, every time I update a blog, it opens a new window. Thanks for your help.
