Problem with Combining Volumes/Issues in OJS 3.1.2.4

Software Support

Hi OJS Community,

I hope you’re all well.

I am currently using OJS version 3.1.2.4 to publish journals at the International Islamic University Islamabad, Pakistan. While uploading back volumes and issues, I’ve encountered a challenge: the system does not allow me to combine or merge multiple volumes/issues, such as 41/42, 41-42, or 41 & 42.

Whenever I attempt this, I receive an error message:
“Errors occurred processing this form: Volume is required and must be a positive, numeric value.”

Has anyone faced a similar issue or found a workaround for combining volumes/issues in OJS? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Kind regards,
Sajid

Hi @msajidmirza,

Please note that the version of OJS that you’re using is no longer supported by PKP. I recommend that you upgrade to the newest version of OJS, as it is possible that your issue will be resolved by upgrading. However, other community members may wish to offer assistance.

Upgrading instructions are available in the PKP Administrator’s Guide and as part of our Upgrade Guide.

Information about the latest version of OJS can be found on the PKP Website
