I'm trying to create a test copy of mybb on my server for theme customization. Here's what I did.
Copied all files from /forum to /forum-test
Edited config.php to point to the new database.
Edited htaccess to change anything referring to the forum directory to forum-test.
Exported the database and imported it into a new database.
Edited two entries in the settings table (bburl and cookiepath) to change the text from the forum directory to forum-test.
The forum displays fine, but after I log in it's still saying "Hi There, Guest!".
I emptied my browser cookies.
I looked at the page source, and many of the links are still using /forum instead of /forum-test, including, it appears, the login link. All the forum categories and threads are using forum-test. How do I get those other links to change?
So I figured out there was a settings.php I also had to edit.
Now I'm trying to edit template files, and it says my changes are saved, but the changes are not saved. What's up?
