Hi Mike,
Kindly find my response to your inquiries below:
We seem to be plagued with several ES issues, such as notification routing profile copying and some other odd behavior. I believe it is due to being upgraded in-place since 0.9.
-> I've test replicate this issue locally using EasySocial1.4.12 seems it works perfectly fine for me. May I know which user that have install photo albums widget in their profile page? so I can directly test in your site?
We may want to consider the route of a wipe and reinstall to see if that resolves the issues. The site backs up at around 7PM your time, there are full backups in the Akeeba Backup Pro manager.
-> Do you mean you want to uninstall EasySocial 1.4.x and Install EasySocial 2? If you prefer to do it, that gonna be great as a lot of issue has been fixed in our latest version
But, all your customization (hard coded as well template override) will be effected as in our EasySocial 2, we make major restructuring.
We will glad to hear your update for this
