So originally i had the forums under metulburr.com . Whihc still works and is able to login to the forums.
But we setup in apache the real domain finally and now want to use python-forum.io for the main domain. However if you attempt to login under this new domain, it appears like it logins, then goes back to guest, when you get back to the board.
I did NOT change the location. The path is the same, but I just added a virtual host config file in apache to redirect the new domain to the forums (since there is multiple websites on this server)
EDIT:
in ACP site details i changed all the metulburr.com -> python-forum.io and the forum looked as if the CSS was not loading properly?
I changed all the url values to the new domain, the board url, the homepage url, and then the cookie domain. AFter doing that, i get the CSS problem. IF i change those values back to the old domain name, the forum looks normal again...but no one going in from the new domain can login.
Basically this has no avail

EDIT2:
I checked in inc/settings.php but all the old domain names were already changed from the ACP.
EDIT3:
Whats weird is the ACP is normal...CSS and all. But not the board?
EDIT4:
I read somewhere that someone said one of the plugins were their problem, but they dont remember which one it was. I have a ton of plugins installed. Donation page, fast quote, first post only, guest warn, haz spoiler, lock posts, lockoldthreads, mobile mybb 1.8, MWS Syntax Highlighter, My Insert Buttons, Page Manager, Portal Announcement cut off, and related threads. Would one of these plugins cause the CSS to not load or retain the old domain in them? I deactivated all plugins and still had the same result.
EDIT5:
I went to ACP -> Tools and Maintenance -> Cache MAanger and REbuild and reload all
I saw that it might help, but it didnt appear to do anything.
EDIT6:
Im at the point where i think the only solution is to resinstall the forums using the new domain. But i dont want to do that because ive put so much time into setting this forum up.
