Changing Open Access article back to subscription access

Software Support
1

We’re using OJS 3.1.1.2. One of my two subscription journals has run into a problem. All content in the journal is restricted. In one issue, the “Open Access” clickboxes for two articles were accidentally activated. We need to change them back to subscription access only, but we can’t find a way to clear the clickboxes. (Yes, we have tried clicking the box again. It just doesn’t clear the box.)

Is there a trick to this that I’m missing?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @mreedks,

Have you checked your PHP error log to see if something appears there?

Yes, my colleague checked. Here’s the error:

2018/09/26 12:50:02 [error] 9#9: *818 FastCGI sent in stderr: “PHP message: ojs2: DB Error: Incorrect integer value: ‘ARTICLE_ACCESS_DEFAULT’ for column ‘access_status’ at row 1” while reading response header from upstream

Hi @mreedks,

That’s this issue: OJS3.1.1.2 ARTICLE_ACCESS_DEFAULT constant not defined

It’s already been corrected in the latest release.
