MyBB Community Forums

Attempted to convert my board today from 1.4 to 1.6 and now can't stay logged in to the admin area.
http://www.brateaseboard.com/testmybb1600/

I wanted to do a fresh myBB install by creating a test version and when ready, simply upload the database. This was in hopes that I could make the actually change over seamless for my members as changes haven't always gone smoothly for me in the past.

I had created this 1.6 test site on the same domain (different directory) as my existing website, but with a separate test database. Once I had it the way I wanted, I then changed the config.php on the test site to reflect the values for the existing database from my 1.4 version. I also deleted the 1.4 version off my server and have kept a local copy. It MOSTLY worked. But now I can't stay logged into the admin area of my test 1.6 board. I've tried all of Matt's recommendations in the first post to this thread. I seem to be able to navigate all the pages (index, forums, categories, subforums), however, I can't view threads. I think the buttons may also not all be present, which I think are javascript in the new Realize theme.

I am sure I have done something wildly incorrect. Thought this would save me some heartache and downtime with install problems, but it hasn't worked out as I thought.

Thanks for any help.

Remove the .www from the cookie domain, clear browser cookies and try again.

For the viewing threads issue, revert your forumdisplay_thread template to default, it seems to have the wrong code for the URL in it.

Wow. I really appreciate you responding so fast.

The cookie/login problem is solved. But I think it caused my theme to disappear. I then reverted the forumdisplay_thread to default, but that doesn't seem have have changed anything.

Update: I originally selected the wrong theme. Indeed, the revert template worked and now I can view the threads! I love progress! Truly can't thank you enough.

So now things seem to be working, less the theme displaying issue. So close...!

Update: Got the theme working by updating the cookie paths to my live web domain. It looks like I still have to fix some of the plugins, but this is a HUGE improvement from where I was at a few hours ago. Thanks, Matt!

Help, tried everything posted here and I still get logged out. www.tradefling.com By the way, I use flock as my browser

It's because your forum is being loaded via an iframe, it's screwing up the cookies. Is there any particular reason why it's loaded via an iframe?? How is your domain mapped to your file system??

Thanks Matt,

I am masking so, I will take that off and check to see how it performs.

Ok Matt,

Hi you all!

I still have a problem with login with Google Chrome. When you click on username, it returns you automatically to the index.

The URL is http://www.gnrla.com/foro

As you can see, when you click on username nothing happens and it's like you press F5. How can I solve that?

Thanks in advance

You've got an error in your header template, you've not closed a tag properly. Paste the contents of the header template for your theme here.

<div id="container">
<div align="center"><div class="logo"></div>

I see...is something related with the "br" tag?

Not the br tag... change
