Error Listing Contacts after Deleting Spam

Backlight 4, 5 & 6 Support
#1

I’ve a new and current install of Backlight 5.3.2.

I was getting lots of spam through my contact form so I blocked the evil-doer’s IP at my firewall and then I marked their 300 form submissions as Spam in the Contacts list and then deleted those messages.

When I go back to the Contacts list in the administrator I get the below PHP message in my browser.

I tried submitting a new contact form for myself, that arrived in my email, but the error message persisted.

Followup - I tried today and its working. Except when you have both dates blank for the range and then select “all contacts”. Cheers.

Hi @silvernitrate, thanks for pointing that out. It’s a logic error in our code, that may only have become an issue with recent versions of PHP.
I’ve put in a silent fix for this. This can be obtained by visiting the Backlight Modules page and clicking “Reinstall” for the entry for module-admin.
