Issue with Accessing Blog in Control Panel

Hello,

In my control panel, if I attempt to navigate to Apps > Blog, I get a blank page with this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function setSlug() on a non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\goode2016\cms\addons\apps\perch_blog\modes\list.pre.php on line 37

Here is my diagnostics report:

It was working just fine and I went into Blog > Blogs and noticed I had Blog and News added there. Which I must have done earlier trying to see if I could create a separate 'News' blog, I deleted the News and Blog Blog's listed on this page, and now i'm prompted with this error whenever I try to access Apps > Blog.

There was nothing in the blog posted yet or configured. Is it possible to completely remove the Blog app and then do a clean reinstall?

Thank you, Joshua

Just realized that Andy already posted the exact same issue some hours before me, but no solution yet there either.

https://forum.grabaperch.com/forum/04-01-2016-blog-and-sections-error

Glad I'm not the only one experiencing this weird one. However, I went ahead and deleted the perch_blog folder from my apps folder, dropped all the blog tables from my database, and then reinstalled the blog app. Everything is working as expected now.

Actually, still having an issue. I went ahead and added a sample post, because I was getting a fatal error, like the following errors:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function perch_blog_categories() in C:\xampp\htdocs\goode2016\news\index.php on line 18

Fatal error: Call to undefined function perch_blog_tags() in C:\xampp\htdocs\goode2016\news\index.php on line 20

Just depends on which function comes first on my blog's index page, I continue to get this error. The rest of the page and functions are loading fine. Here's my full page:

<?php include('../cms/runtime.php');
    perch_layout('global/header');
    perch_layout('global/headernav');
?>

<!-- Begin Content -->
<div class="container page">
    <div class="sidebar col-md-4 col-lg-3">
        <h2>News</h2>
        <!-- The following functions are different ways to display archives. You can use any or all of these.
        All of these functions can take a parameter of a template to overwrite the default template, for example:
        perch_blog_categories('my_template.html');
        -->
        <!--  By category listing -->
        <?php perch_blog_categories(); ?>
        <!--  By tag -->
        <?php perch_blog_tags(); ?>
        <!--  By year -->
        <?php perch_blog_date_archive_years(); ?>
        <!--  By year and then month - can take parameters for two templates. The first displays the years and the second the months see the default templates for examples -->
        <?php perch_blog_date_archive_months(); ?>
    </div>

        <!-- this is an example blog homepage showing a simple call to perch_blog_recent_posts()
        Posts are displayed using the templates stored in perch/apps/perch_blog/templates/blog you can edit these as you wish, making sure that the paths used in these templates are correct for your installation. -->
        <?php
            perch_blog_recent_posts(10);
        ?>

        <p><a href="archive.php">More posts</a></p>
    </div>

<?php  
    perch_layout('global/footer'); 
    perch_layout('global/scriptsplugins');
?>

Sorry, again I think I figured this one out.

What seemed to correct everything was adding perch_blog to my apps list under config > apps.php.

$apps_list = array(
    'content', 
    'categories',
    'perch_blog',
);

All good now.
