Serendipity Forums

I have about 40 blogs and I recently upgraded from 0.8.4 to 0.9. Since upgrading, I'm still getting used to setting up new blogs. I make myself Adminstrator and make the requesting blogger Chief Editor.

Here is my problem: The Chief Editor can change the blog title, but when they log out the blog title returns to the default title name. When they log in again it goes back to what they changed it to. Unfortunately, the new blog title just isn't changing for everyone else to see.

Am I doing something wrong in the settings or is it something else? Thanks in advance!

This was a known bug of Serendipity 0.9 and has been fixed in Serendipity 0.9.1 a month or two ago.

Best regards,

Thanks. I guess I should pay attention.

No problem - you are just a user,so we're here to tell you about available upgrades.

Have fun,

After upgrading to 0.9.1, I was still experiencing this problem and after a little digging I found a solution.

In the database, in the "serendipity_config" table, there were 2 records for blogTitle and blogDescription:

name | value | authorid
blogTitle | "John Doe's personal blog" | 0
blogDescription | "My little place on the web..." | 0
blogTitle | "My New Title" | 2
blogDescription | "My New Description" | 2

(...sorry my table looks bad) I changed the blogTitle and blogDescription where authorid=0 to the new title and description, and I deleted blogTitle and blogDescription where authorid=2.

This seems to have solved the problem. Hope this helps anyone with the same issue.
