Full Version: Authorization code mismatch error when signing in.

Hi all,

I recently installed the theme MyIPB on the latest version of MyBB (1.8.17). It installed correctly, however, whenever a user attempts to sign in, I am presented with the following error: Authorization code mismatch. Are you accessing this function correctly? Please go back and try again.

For your information, the link to my forum is https://successforums.ml

I hope there is a valid answer for this, as the resolutions in the previous threads I have seen do not work.

All the best,
Josh

That looks like more of a theme issue as opposed to a MyBB issue.

Just to verify, you did read this THREAD, right?
Yup, you haven't got the post_key in your login forms. This can be checked with a simple Inspect Element for those who don't have ACP access.
