Server error when accessing blog as editor

I have an issue accessing the blog management section when logged in as an editor role. I can access and edit the blog fine as the admin but not as an editor. I've checked the role privileges and all is set up to allow access to the blog. When navigating to the blog section in perch I just get a server error 500. I have the latest version of perch and have just updated to the latest blog version. Any ideas?

What is in your error log? A Server Error is essentially an error notification, the PHP log will tell you the actual error.

If seeing it doesn't help, please post it here along with your Diagnostics Report..

You appear to have two problems. The issue when logged in as an editor should be fixed in the next update.

The errors in your log are relating to a missing perch_blog/runtime.php file. Can you verify it's there?

Yep its definitely there.

I've tried this on my development platform as well, using MAMP locally, and get a different error if its any help:

Fatal error: Class 'PerchCategories_Sets' not found in /Users/Rob/Sites/drakes-hotel/build/admin/addons/apps/perch_blog/modes/update.pre.php on line 105

What can I do in the meantime other than give the client admin access so they can edit the blog? Or is that the only option?

The PerchCategories_Sets error will be fixed.

Are you seeing problems on your pages loading blog posts? Do you get new errors about undefined functions as you browse your site?

No browsing the site is working fine with no errors. Logging in as admin and editing works as normal.

Ok, great. 2.8.16 should sort this out for you then.
