"The form was not submitted properly." on every form

Hello all,

I’m trying to set up OJS on a client’s server. Everything works fine up until the point of adding an user to a journal. Every time I click “save” I get the “The form was not submitted properly” error message. This also happens when trying to edit the existing admin user. Sometimes, even adding the first journal fails with this same message. From my research, this seems related to the CSRF feature. I can’t, however, diagnose why this is happening. What should I look into? The client’s environment is as follows:

  • nginx
  • PHP 7.3
  • MySQL 5.7.21
  • OJS 3.1.1-4

Thanks in advance,
Gabriel.

Hi @rakib417,

Please don’t submit the same question in multiple places; it clutters the forum.
