    When I click the button in the upper, right-hand corner of the CP to view my site, it gives me a blank page with the URL http://burlingtonbusinessassociation.com/?URL=http://burlingtonbusinessassociation.com/

    This problem only appeared after I upgraded to 2.2, and I’ve installed all of the hot fixes.

    Unfortunately, this seems to be affecting other areas of the site that rely on redirects as well.

    Any ideas? Thanks so much.

    dmatarazzo,

    ExpressionEngine uses that to mask the origin of any links clicked from within the control panel. If in your CP you were to click a link to an external site the location of your control panel would be revealed in the logs of that external site. In the site index.php file there is a routine to catch any requests like http://domain.com?URL=http://whatever.com and then redirect appropriately.

    If you click the link does it work?

    Unfortunately there is no link… I’m just getting a blank page.

    dmatarazzo,

    Make sure you have updated your root index.php with the new one from the EE2.2 download. This should fix it for you.
