Hmm for some reason when I tried to go to configurations > settings or edit it I get a view of my main site (It's not a forum) instead. What should I do?

I hate to do this as my site not public ready but I have to solve the issue as can't modify, edit stuff with a non existing setting page .

Thanks-
Forgive me as I'm new to the web stuff.

You're redirected to your homepage when trying to view the settings page? Could you please provide an admin test account?

and sure

I snipped the login details, that's sensitive information and could easily get you hacked.

You're being redirected to a version of the URL without the "index.php" bit in it, naturally throwing a 404 error. I'm not quite sure what is causing this yet, but can you make sure you have the latest files and aren't missing any by re-uploading the whole ./admin/ directory?

Oops how stupid of me to do that,

This is what I got from looking:

Let me know if I need to dig more

Those are just the install files, which you probably opted to delete instead of creating the lock file. That's fine and not the cause of the issue here.

Do you have a .htaccess file in your admin directory or something? You could have some sort of redirect going on. Also, check with your web host to see if there are any restrictions worth mentioning you should be aware of.

Yes it seem a plugin from the main site wasn't completely removed of leaving .htaccess. Got rid of it and things are back to normal.

Thank faviouz for taking the time to check the problem .
