Hi everyone, in OJS version 3.5.0, when I click on Editor / Dashboard - Published, I get this error.
Why?
Do you have any idea how to solve this?
No one responded, but to fix the problem we had to fix a disabled user.
Hi @simgiallorosso,
We fixed a few related issues with the 3.5.0-2 release already (and there’s still one open yet to be fixed with 3.5.0-3); if you’re not using that yet, it may already be fixed. Otherwise, there should be a full error message in your PHP error log. If you can find it and post it, it’ll help us identify the problem.
Thanks,
Alec Smecher

Hi @simgiallorosso,
I’ve filed and added a fix for this here. The required change is a small tweak to a single file; if you’re able to apply the change and confirm that it fixes the problem, that would be very helpful!
Thanks,
Alec Smecher
