Hello guys - i've had my forums up for a week now, it seems that they completely screwed up upon removing email-verification (as users reported they did not receive an email). Clicks the admin CP brings me to my old domain which is no longer available (garnetgaming.net/admin/index.php).


Here's the link to the website: http://garnetgaming.us/
Go to configuration - settings - site details and change board url to your new one i.e http://garnetgaming.us/

www.garnetgaming.us/admin/index.php?module=config-settings&action=change&gid=22
Edit: delayed response

board url & cookie settings should be set correctly first in ~/inc/settings.php file
and then at Site Details of forum admin panel (Configuration - Settings)

I can reach into the admin CP fine, but when attemtping to go into configuration, it tells me i'm using the incorrect password.

EDIT: i'm sorry -it's not that the password is incorrect, it's just that it keeps reloading the page when I try to sign in (when reaching into configuration through the admin panel)

EDITEDIT: after a few attempts and changing the config file from whatever my IP was to my actual domain, (from $settings['bburl'] = "http://192.223.26.184";     to    $settings['bburl'] = "http://garnetgaming.us";
 i'm given the error "Invalid administration session."

EDITEDITEDIT: I'm fraeking out because I reverted the global.css file of my custom theme - is there any way to revert this action afterwards?
Can you PM me admin account so i can check or you can wait till a staff replies on your issue
removing www from the board url & redirecting www url to http url might help
Hey, technophobe on this end. Literally have no idea what to fix
It should look like
$settings['bburl'] = "http://garnetgaming.us";
$settings['cookiedomain'] = ".garnetgaming.us";
$settings['cookiepath'] = "";
$settings['cookieprefix'] = "";
@Garnet if direct help required, assuming that you have a legit forum (see support eligibility policy)
you may PM me temporary access to forum admin panel & files (FTP) to check the issue
(you can give your own login credentials & change them later)
Last time, i did fix broken path on your Linux box + fresh installed and all was working fine at end of the day, today i got your PM saying problem still persist, technically its not possible unless some third party plugin or theme breaks your forum.

Well, it's not a cookie problem (stock installation was done)
You should do "file verification" to check changes
Try other theme for few days (testing purpose)
