Hey Michael,
I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.
I've tried to access in your FTP server, but it seems like you provided that login credentials is not working.
By the way, can you download my attached file and replace into ->
JoomlaFolder\components\com_easyblog\views\entry\view.html.php
JoomlaFolder\components\com_easyblog\views\entry\tmpl\latest.xml
Once you replace in your site, then open "Easyblog - single latest layout" menu item -> set
'include featured post' option to NO (you can refer on my attached screenshot below) and see how it goes?
