Hello! I checked my Firewall and Malaysia is not a blocked country. I wonder if you are going to cefva.org/administrator. If so, you can use the following:

Sorry for the confusion. I appreciate your help!

Hey Mary,

Your site is extremely slow for me and I can't seem to access it Is there any known issues with your hosting company?

Oh my goodness! I forgot to compress the website after taking it live. I have sped up the site by 71%. Please try now.

Thank you,
Mary

Hi Mary,

It seems like this is a known issue that are related with nginx config on your server where when joomla SEF is turned on, it will override any variable that are non-sef (for instance composer view is yoursite.com/blog?view=composer&tmpl=components) and convert them accordingly. You can refer to the forum thread here and consult with your webhosting service provider regarding on nginx config issue. http://stackideas.com/forums/composer-opens-with-all-articles-in-frontend

Hello,

This issue was escalated to a Senior Developer at Siteground, my hosting company. They asked me to send you this report in order to troubleshoot the issue:

I have checked the case in details. The quality key-value pair which is referred by the EasyBlog developers is a standard part of the content negotiation mechanism defined for HTTP:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_negotiation

It is used by the corresponding User Agent to tell the server which type of content it understands and prefers.

I have tested the web site through Nginx and through Apache. There in no difference in the way the parameter is handled:

What do you think?

Hi Mary,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it weekends for all of us here.

I've tried to perform some test on your site by dumping the url variable that are being sent from your server using $_REQUEST php function to your joomla index.php. This is the result when I'm trying to open your composer from frontend,

array(4) { ["/latest-news"]=> string(0) "" ["_ga"]=> string(27) "GA1.2.1854668913.1441273397" ["b9bd52045b966af88b2a2a086ddc8bb1"]=> string(26) "upu00h99upe0si00ghsbppjdk2" ["0ad9565e4b55c35734335182905097e7"]=> string(26) "otkmbfqpr1ob43ssg3eqdgrri2" } 

Notice that the variable "View" is not exist and being replaced by something on your server side before the url is reaching your joomla site. To be honest I'm not really sure what "GA" stands for in your url. Perhaps you can ask your webhosting service provider regarding on this issue? Currently the only way to fix this is by turning off your joomla SEF url and use raw url instead until this issue get resolve.
