Well, that method doesn't exactly help things other than allowing those in the forum to possibly discover more quickly the errors with their installation package. One thing of note, whenever a screen goes blank there is likely an error message related to it in the logs folder. While total time to move an existing installation out of the way to discovery of a missing parentheses by execution of the code (would have likely been faster just to look at the patch itself) was about 20 minutes, I have pushed the revised patch to: https://github.com/mc12345678/EasyPo...n_import_patch

The issue is definitely a missing sql assignment when adding a new category. Again it was something that has existed in this software since before I started helping with it, but systems had generally been flexible enough to understand what to do and not cause a problem, but now are becoming stricter (which is good overall). Unfortunately users had not been making the issue known so changes could not be made for a problem not described... It has been addressed in an upcoming release and the above patch has been verified to work. Of course there are a number of things to be done with that code to tighten it up, but that's addressed in the next release.
