Hi!
I think I managed the all configuration and it seems it's working good on my site with Easyblog and Easysocial working together. A few bits i'm missing now:

- I Don't know why but I can't upgrade easyblog to a further version than 3.9.19775... everytime i do it, links on the back end stop working and buttons freeze.

-My RSS Feeds are not working. On chrome it just opens the blog page and on IE gives an error. I'm really stuck on this one as I would like to create a newsletter with mailchimp using last month post with RSS feed. Alternatives to this? - sorry guys!

Thank you for all your support!
Hi Ricardo Machado,

Sorry for late reply to this,

Yes, this time can access in your Joomla backend now.

Please find your answer in your queries below :
- I Don't know why but I can't upgrade easyblog to a further version than 3.9.19775... everytime i do it, links on the back end stop working and buttons freeze.

Yes, It seems like your site missing some of the script, by the way, my colleague already help you update to latest version of Easyblog.

-My RSS Feeds are not working. On chrome it just opens the blog page and on IE gives an error.

Regarding this issues is because you hardcoded the itemid from your Easyblog SEO setting, check my screenshot below.
So I help you change to use `Use Current Active Menu Itemid` for your Easyblog SEO behaviour. Can you check again is it working now?

I'm really stuck on this one as I would like to create a newsletter with mailchimp using last month post with RSS feed. Alternatives to this? - sorry guys!

I have a little bit lost here, do you mean that you would like to configure the mailchimp integrate with Easyblog for RSS feed? Please advise.

Hello Ricardo,

Perhaps you can provide us with your Joomla backend access and FTP access so we can identify the root of this issue? Please advise

Hi Ezrul!
I don't have a permanent FTP account access set on my website for reasons that no reason can tell . I can set one for a specific directory if you want that way...

Hello Ricardo,

The provided Joomla access still not working for me.

-My RSS Feeds are not working. On chrome it just opens the blog page and on IE gives an error.

May I know if this issue is only happening on Chrome and IE browser? Can you also provide the error message that appear in IE browser? If you can provide us some screenshot it might be useful for us to understand the issue better.

Hi Ezrul!
I have accessed the backend using these credentials. So please check these new ones and try again. They do work. If not I will send all the screen shots for you.

Ok Arlex! Got it... so all I need is to create a new menu link and pick up the rss feed link from there. When someone click on "continue Reading" at the main page, I don't want the blog posts to "open" on the main page, that's why I've used a diferent itemid option. Now that you've found the issue, I think I know how to go around this and still have the rss feed working...

About the issue with mailchimp... not a problem anymore. It was all connected. Mailchimp has a RSS import feature, that can pick up the blogposts from my website and compose a newsletter. Quite simple to use if I have a rss link feed working on my website. Now that you've found the problem, I'll go arround it and can use the RSS feed with mailshimp and have automatic newsletters going to my audience regularly.

Thank you for the upgrade! That was a pain...

Thank you guys! You ROCK!

Hi Ricardo Machado,

You're welcome.

Yes, you have to set one of the "Easyblog frontpage layout" menu item id in your Easyblog SEO routing behaviour to achieve what you mentioned at above. So it will generate a correct RSS feed URL link.

If not, it will become your initially issues -> http://www.xxx.xx.uk/component/easyblog/?Itemid=2?format=feed&type=rss (redirect back to your Easyblog frontpage).

Hope this help.
