It's been a LONG time since I've ran MyBB.
I encountered an issue that I have seen before, but I cannot find the resolution.
I can login to the main AdminCP Dashboard page, but as soon as I click on any other section such as Configuration, Forums & Posts, and etc, I am presented with the Admin login screen.
I have no way of accessing any section besides the Dashboard page.
Can anyone be of assistance?
Thanks!
are you in mybb's latest version ?
if no then please upgrade to get rid of the problem.
What's the URL? This is usually due to a cookie settings issue as it logs you in the first page load but other page loads don't have the cookie set correctly so log you out again.

I am using the latest MyBB as shown on the Download page.

Yes, 1.8.27
did you transfer your one of your old mybb website to this domain thorough database ?

Nope.
okay , what type of admin cp theme are you using ?
You've got an error saying "MyBB Internal: One or more warnings occurred. Please contact your administrator for assistance." along the top of the forum, it's likely this is sending output to the browser before the cookies are set which will mean they might not work. Check error logs to find what is causing this and once that's resolved, it may resolve the logging in issue.
You're also able to access the forum over both http:// and https://, you should force http:// requests to redirect to https://. The cookie secure flag setting is disabled, so if you're on https://, it won't be storing the cookie, which is also a likely cause of the issue.
I deleted the whole original MyBB installation.
Then...
Installed a new MyBB installation, still having the same exact issue, where I cannot access the rest of the AdminCP besides the Dashboard page.
Well, just for kicks...
I installed phpBB and everything is fine. I can access all of the sections in the AdminCP.
I can't say the same thing for MyBB, though.
I am not sure what the deal is, but I prefer to use MyBB over phpBB, but if I am forced to use phpBB, then that is what I will do.
