I have exactly the same issue:

<code>
Backtrace:

bad_request_die( "Parameter &laquo;eblog_default_category&raquo; is required!" )
File: /[...]/b/inc/_core/_param.funcs.php on line 120
param( "eblog_default_category", "integer", true )

require( "/home/mitup2/public_html/b/inc/settings/remotepublish.ctrl.php" )
File: /[...]/b/admin.php on line 250
</code>

I have this issue as well:

Mine is an upgrade of an old site that only had the default blogs. It still only has default blogs, until I get this fixed.

Thanks for your help on this.

There is a little typo in the code that is producing this error. A fix will be included in the next release, but you can apply it by your own if you want to use this feature right now.

Go to the file inc/settings/views/_eblog.form.php and find this line:

$Form->text_input( 'eblog__default_category', $Settings->get('eblog_default_category'), 5,

Note: it might be around line 109 in version 5.2.0.

The first appearance of "eblog__default_category" has an extra underscore ( _ ), so get rid of that character. The resultant line must look like this:

$Form->text_input( 'eblog_default_category', $Settings->get('eblog_default_category'), 5,

Regards!

Thanks,

This works a treat. Now to sort out secure IMAP authentication with my mail server.

Thank you for the fix. That took care of the problem.

Me too: Thanks!
