    • Aaahhhhh! For some reason my admin area has become unusable ... dev.stuartridout.com/administrator/

      I can't login or logout or do anything in fact.

      Has anyone got any ideas ... please?!?

    • Hi Stuart,

      Did you by any chance start playing with user group access for public users?

      Default is 'Not Set' and getting wrong settings can bork your admin in that way.

      Here is a useful post - forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=624&t=704023

      If this resolves your problem then please edit your first post in this thread by adding SOLVED at the start of the title and then select the green tick icon. This lets the moderators know that it can be moved to the solved section.

      Thanks for your cooperation :)

    • Please search forums before posting. Please make sure your post includes the version of the CMS you are using and a link to the problem. Annotations on screenshots can also be helpful to explain problems/goals. Please use the "secure" tab for confidential information

    • Hmmmm, haven't been playing with that but followed a few links off your link you provided and eventually got there. Did this

      1) Browse to /administrator/?option=com_login
      2) At the login form, enter a super user's username and password
      3) Go to Site->Global Configuration then click on the "Permissions" tab
      4) Under the Public drop down, set the "Admin Login" to "Not Set". Note: you should set all values in this Public drop down list to "Not Set" (viewtopic.php?f=624&p=2785068#p2785053).
      5) Click Save & Close
      6) Try to log out and if the login form appears, this method worked and your site should be fixed.

      Thanks!
