Summary

 

Introduction and Sponsorship: Tim Davis introduces the video, sponsored by CyberSalt's Joomla training cohort and mysites.guru.

Identifying the Problem: The video addresses the issue where users are unable to change the author of a Joomla article.

Attempting to Change the Author: Tim demonstrates trying to change the article's author from Shabazz to James Snyder, but nothing happens when he clicks on James's name.

Investigating with Developer Tools: Tim uses Chrome developer tools (F12) to identify errors occurring in the background.

Error Details: He notices errors related to Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS).

Researching the Error: Tim finds an article discussing the CORS policy and realizes a potential fix.

Navigating to Global Configuration: Tim goes to Joomla's Global Configuration to apply the fix.

Enabling CORS: In the Server tab, Tim finds the "Enable CORS" option and turns it on.

Testing the Fix: Tim goes back to the article, attempts to change the author again, and this time it works.

Conclusion: Tim advises logging out and back in if the change doesn't take effect immediately, concludes the video, and encourages viewers to subscribe.
