Problems after migration: can't assign paper to new issues

Hi everyone

We have just migrated to the latest version of OJS because I couldn’t upload files. That problem is solved but I now can’t assign papers in production to new issues. It looks like it is working but the paper is never saved to the issue (see screenshot). Any idea what is happening? (I have tried this over again, have given myself all possible editorial and production permissions, and tried in many different ways but it still doesn’t work). Thanks

Hi @sarahcummings,

Check your PHP error log for details.

The error was:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function getUserVar() on null in /var/www/web141/web/plugins/generic/orcidProfile/OrcidProfilePlugin.inc.php:679\nStack trace:\n#0 /var/www/web141/web/lib/pkp/classes/plugins/HookRegistry.inc.php(107): OrcidProfilePlugin->handleScheduleForPublication('issueentrypubli...', Array)\n#1
After disabling the ORCID plugin the submissions works.

Hi @marekt,

Can you check whether there is an updated version of the ORCID Profile plugin available in the Plugin Gallery? I suspect this is an older release and may not be compatible with the new version of OJS you’re using.
