Can you give a little more information about when you're seeing the message?

What is the user clicking on, a subscribe button in the Sendy Signup module or somewhere else? Is that the whole error message?

Can you try setting Error Reporting to 'Development' in the admin area and see if more debug information is output when you see that error?

From what you provided above, it's a bit difficult to know what may be going wrong.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello,

Here are more some details.

1) PHP version where Sendy is hosted 7.2
2) Issue occurs when we click on subscribe button. (Button to add a user to the mailing list)
3) In the Sendy library file there is a post request used to post the data to subscribe the user to a particular mailing list

// API which gives error
$this->sendyUrl . '/subscribe'

// Post request which gives error "Unable to decrypt string with openssl_decrypt()"
$return = $http->post($this->subscribeUrl, $data);

The library file path
JOOMLA_INSTANCE/libraries/sendy/sendy.php

Thanks for the info. Will have to dig in a little further to see if we can trace what's happening in Sendy. Last question before we do that, can you let us know what version of Sendy you are using?

We're on a slightly older version (4.1.0.1) vs the latest 5.2.x. Could be an issue there.

Thanks,
Alex

I'm sorry for the delay in response. We've been working on a JFBConnect release to coincide with Joomla 4 stable. Let me look into this today and see what I can do.

I really thought I replied to this yesterday, but apparently not. Sorry about that.

We installed and are using Sendy v5.2.3 now. After upgrading, we did not change any configuration settings within Sendy or our Joomla plugins and we are not seeing the issue.

That likely points to a configuration or server issue on your end, but I can't say what offhand. Here's our version information:
* Sendy v5.2.3
* Joomla 3.9.28
* PHP v7.4.21

Beyond those, please double check your settings:
* In the System - Sendy plugin for your Sendy URL, List ID
* In the subscribe module settings for your API key
* In the User plugin for your API key (if you're automatically signing users up on registration).

Let us know if none of the above help. If not, we'll likely need access to the admin area to investigate further.

Thanks,
Alex
