Try download my attached file and replace into this following file location and see how it goes?

JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/easyblog.php

Hi Arlex,

Thank you for the reply. The new files works for a standard Joomla login - it takes me to the page I want to go to. I do have one issue though - when I use my Social Login option, it still takes me to the incorrect page. Not sure why that would be different? The social login component (https://www.easy-profile.com) is set to default, which means it follows normally routing instead of forcing it to another page.

What changes did you make to the file? Is it a bug or issue with my site?

I have opened up the FTP and admin access for you.

thanks Pete

Yes, that is bug, but my patch file should be fix that issue.

And now you encounter another issue when you applied my fix into your site right?

If yes, may i know how replicate this? perhaps you can share with us step by step so I can directly check on your site?

And can you update your backend and your FTP access again? Because I was unable to access, this is what i hitting :

FTP

Command:	PASS ************

Response:	530 Login authentication failed

Error:	Critical error: Could not connect to server

Joomla backend

Warning

Username and password do not match or you do not have an account yet.

Hi Arlex - I have reset the password and updated my site login details. Please try again. Worked for me using same details.

As for replicating the issue. You will need a Facebook or Google + account for this. If you go to https://www.cyclingtouring.org/journals/create-journal-entry and that will then show a login box. Click for either facebook or google. Instead of taking you to the QUick Post screen, it takes you to the main blog page instead - same as before with a standard joomla login before you gave the fix. Does that make sense??

thanks Pete

It seems like i hitting this when i view that page :

403: Access Forbidden

Too many login attempts (Autobanned)

Can you add my current IP address 175.144.21.166 into your server whitelist?

If you using another login provider, that was not possible to fix on our end.
But I will check your site again later when you add my current IP address into your server whitelist.

Try again, now white listed.

Thanks , I've checked in your site, it seems like you have to consult with this social login provider regarding this and see whether they can do something about it to get the current return URI, you can check my attached screenshot below what i mentioned.

When the user click on this link (https://www.cyclingtouring.org/journals/create-journal-entry) then it redirect to Easyblog login page, the page URL already pass in those return URL :

https://www.cyclingtouring.org/blog/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY3ljbGluZ3RvdXJpbmcub3JnL2pvdXJuYWxzL2NyZWF0ZS1qb3VybmFsLWVudHJ5

I think what their need to do is check the page URL whether got `return` parameter then pass in their social login parameter redirect parameter e.g.

https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?response_type=code&client_id=1573130486257541&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cyclingtouring.org%2Findex.php%3Foption%3Dcom_jsn%26tmplsocial%3D1%26view%3Dfacebook%26task%3Daccesstoken&scope=email&state=82754ff648920f4d22cefd0d386cb410&display=popup

By the way, if you login from Easyblog page and click on the login button, it will redirect to correct page.

Ok, I'll raise it with them.

The only thing I would say is that I do have other components that use return URLS and they work fine with this component. Guess they use a similar method as Easyblog.

I'll let you know what they say.

thanks Pete
