I have a hidden menu item, alias: "welcome-to-the-9-11-truth-action-project" configured to display a single K2 item, alias: "welcome-to-the-9-11-truth-action-project-newsletter" and that item's category is alias: "subscription-notifications" If I create a link "mysite.org/welcome-to-the-9-11-truth-action-project" a page displays, the name of the menu item in the breadcrumbs, and the page title I add to the top of each page outside of the K2 programming flow. but the text of the item doesn't display, all I get is a blank page. If I create a direct link to the article like: mysite.org/894-subscription-notifications/375-welcome-to-the-9-11-truth-action-project-newsletter, I get the same thing, a blank page.

I am sure, it is because I am tired and missing the obvious, but I played with this for a couple of hours and cannot figure out the problem.

I am not using the new Joomla Routing System, but I am using the advanced SEF for K2 URLs which is why I can get away with a URL without category and item numbers.

If I tried using a URL like mysite.org/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&layout=item&id=375

I get a blank and broken page. I have seen this before when troubleshooting the the custom template for the site. Turned out to be a PHP error, but that isn't showing up in error.log right now.

If I string a URL together like https:/mysite.org/557-news-releases/765-senate-resolution-610,

the item displays normally. But this isn't a hidden menu item, News Releases is included in the navigation bar; but as far as I know that shouldn't make a difference, it just means that a menu item won't be displayed on the front end for the Hidden menu item, but I should still able able to link to it and it should display normally.

Oh yes, I am running Joomla 3.8.13 and K2 2.9.1, and I have updated all plugins and components, so everything is up to date. ACYMailing fixed their K2 plugins so that has been attended to as well.

I will install the dev version of 2.9.1.

I had already set error reporting to maximum and didn't see any errors, only warnings, and not from K2 specifically.

The blank page occurs when I try to fetch it via a menu item or directly pasting the URL for the article/item, into the browser address bar.

I will let you know what else I find, but that will probably be tomorrow for you.

After installing K2-dev 2.9.1 I get the same result.

Curiously in error.log I see the following:

Unless someone is using a script to try to guess a password, this should not be happening. I am the only person that logs into this dev site.

But I see no error pertaining to K2.

I have added:
to my index.php file to display the Page Heading information in the Page Display tab in the Joomla Edit Menu Item interface, at the top of the page for all pages, and this displays correctly, So the problem comes after the menu item information is displayed.

This is really throwing me. It would almost imply a problem with item.php, But then the problem would show up everywhere and not just items called from these Hidden menus.

I added the following to item.php, but as far as I can see nothing is wrong here:
I found this in jcontroller.log.php:

2018-10-29T01:22:32+00:00 INFO 47.41.20.188 controller Holding edit ID com_menus.edit.item.1197 Array ( [0] => 1197 )
2018-10-29T01:51:59+00:00 INFO 47.41.20.188 controller Releasing edit ID com_menus.edit.item.1197 Array ( )

And that is the menu item connected to the K2 item that I am trying to display. I am not familiar with holding and releasing, but it could mean holding data until after the page is rendered.

Thanks Fotis, no, the component doesn't load, nor do any of the main content modules.

Here are the error messages for today:
If I call the item using the link from menu manager like:
I get the following:



If I call the item using the menu item alias, you can see the results by navigating to this link:
This is not spam.

There are still ACYMailing plugins that give PHP warnings, but I don't think this has anything to do with the current issue.

Carlos Camera, at ACYBA, said that they have been updating their plugins, and that I should download and install all of their plugins, even if the version numbers are the same, because he has been going through and updating them on the fly as error reports come in. So I have done that.

There is no ACYMailing code on the page. I simply provide ACYMailing a link to the item/article, so that if the ACYMailing plugin receives a response from some subscription confirmation email, the page gets displayed in the browser.

I am getting the same result for other items in the "HIdden" menu that aren't in any way related to ACYMailing.

The JFBConnect plugin is called on every page, but that includes items included in the "Nav" bar and they all load without problem.

With "RewriteEngine Off" in .htaccess, I get the following error.

So there is a typo in one of the PHP files.

Thanks again Fotis. I went through the content and system plugins and disabled them one at a time testing to see if the page displayed properly each time and after going through the entire list of plugins, disabling each, not one of them disabled allowed the page to display correctly. While working with the owner of this site the other night I noticed that some of the back-end pages aren't displaying either, just a blank white page. Most of the content on the website is displaying correctly, but content not connected to a menu module isn't displaying at all.

Right now I am going through the Akeeba Tools documentation and setting everything up according to the recommendations of Nicholas K. Dionysopoulos and running all the repair and optimize tools in the hopes that I find the problem that way. If I knew what I was looking for I would run Linux grep on the site, but without knowing what to have grep search for, it won't be of much use.

Sorry to take so long to get back, I just took a long course on setting up the .htaccess file. Got things pretty tightly locked down and no errors.

I am still going to run the Akeeba database tool just to make sure it isn't some corruption in the database.

I have already combed through the template and can't see anything there.

So I will keep looking.

Fotis, I am still working on this problem, though I have found that by deleting and recreating K2 categories that I the page displays correctly again. Still some pages seem to not respond to that solution.

If I access the page this way:

www.911tap.org/join-us/find-your-tap-coordinator

The page displays correctly;

If instead I access the page using a parameter string like:

www.911tap.org/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&layout=item&id=777

I get the following error code:



Note: I had to add an exception for images/temp, in order for access to this image to be allowed.

As you suggested previously using Filezilla's element inspector->Network tab, I get the following:

Request URL:	www.911tap.org/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&layout=item&id=777
Request method:	GET
Remote address:	199.116.77.184:443
Status code: 500	Internal Server Error
Version:	HTTP/1.1

Using the Joomla Router generated URL to access the page I get the following HTTP response.

Request URL:	www.911tap.org/join-us/find-your-tap-coordinator
Request method:	GET
Remote address:	199.116.77.184:443
Status code: 200	OK
Version:	HTTP/1.1

Note: find-your-tap-coordinator is item 777.

I will finish this later. right now I have to shut my computer down and reboot. I will finish this after I save and reboot.
