Dear @asmecher

Hi @manimughal,

Those warnings are cosmetic; look in the log file for something containing the word “error”.

Hi @manimughal,

We are experiencing the same problem. Did you find any solution?
Here is the error message we get:
Failed to load resource: the server https://ictp.acad.ro/jnaat/journal/$$$call$$$/tab/issue-entry/issue-entry-tab/save-publication-metadata-form responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)

When I access the above url I get:
{“status”:false,“content”:“A workflow stage was not specified.”,“elementId”:“0”,“events”:null}

Thanks,

Hi @jnaat,

How did you install the ORCID profile plugin?

Hi @asmecher,

I used the Plugins page.
I can’t remember if I installed or it is already installed and I just Enabled.
Should I reinstall the plugin?

Thanks,
Imre
