Cannot save posts

Hi hope you're both OK :-D

I'm not sure why, but I can no longer save posts either as draft or as published, I get redirected to this url:

https://deliciousreverie.co.uk/perch/addons/apps/perch_blog/edit/

With the error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function return_instance() on boolean in /Users/BenRead/Sites/deliciousreverie/perch/core/lib/api/PerchAPI_Form.class.php on line 430

I've tried changing down the php version, and replacing the /perch/ folder, but it still seems to be happening.

Here's the basic diagnostic report, let me know if you need the full one:

Perch: 2.8.29, PHP: 5.6.22, MySQL: 5.5.50, with PDO Server OS: Linux, cgi-fcgi Installed apps: content (2.8.29), assets (2.8.29), categories (2.8.29), perch_blog (4.5.4) App runtimes: <?php $apps_list = array( 'content', 'categories', 'perch_blog', ); PERCH_LOGINPATH: /perch PERCH_PATH: /home/delicrev/public_html/perch PERCH_CORE: /home/delicrev/public_html/perch/core PERCH_RESFILEPATH: /home/delicrev/public_html/perch/resources Image manipulation: GD Imagick PHP limits: Max upload 2M, Max POST 8M, Memory: 128M, Total max file upload: 2M F1: 2edba60ed1f613d6dd804feb202456a2 Resource folder writeable: Yes DOCUMENT_ROOT: /home/delicrev/public_html HTTP_HOST: deliciousreverie.co.uk REQUEST_URI: /perch/core/settings/diagnostics/ SCRIPT_NAME: /perch/core/settings/diagnostics/index.php

Thanks for your help :-)

Ben PS. This happens on both my local dev version and the hosted.

We would need to see your post.html template as well.

Your Blog app is out of date - I think you just need to update it.
